My Summer 2021 Favorite Books

September definitely counts as summer in my mind when it comes to the season – yes, I’m still trying to get in as much pool time as possible between work & on the weekends – but June, July, & August count as summer when it comes to my reading life. I’ve mentioned in my monthly wrap-ups, but summer 2021 was the most amount of books I’ve ever read in 1 summer (and honestly probably 1 season) at a total of 65 books (yes, at least 2 of these were novellas but I’m counting these as books for now before I do my annual stats in a few months). Having read 65 books, it’s no surprise that it was really difficult to narrow it down to my absolute faves, so I decided to share my favorites and then narrow it down to my top 5 favorite books of summer.
