I look forward to everyone’s “Best Books of the Year” lists every single year! They always do a number to my TBR, so I thought I would spread the wealth and show you some of the books that I added to my list because I saw them on fellow blogger’s favourites lists for 2021.
Vee @vee_bookish had None Shall Sleep on their list, and I knew from seeing the cover that it was something I needed to look more into! It is a YA crime thriller set in the 80s- enough said! Vee also said it was perfect for Hannibals fans. They also had The Darkness Outside Us on their list, so you know they have taste!
Joanna @ The Geekish Brunette included A River Enchanted on her list, and I knew I wanted to check it out because so many of her other favourites are ones I also have on my TBR. There are so many five star reviews for this book and I love the idea of a Scottish fantasy!
How cool is the cover for Crownchasers!? I discovered it on M.T. Wilson’s blog The Last Book on the Left. I want to read more YA SciFi and the sequel is already out, so hopefully I enjoy the first one and can continue on with it!
Naty from Naty’s Bookshelf and I have similar reading tastes, so I actually added a few of her favourites to my TBR, but it was His Bloody Project that stood out to me! I love literary thrillers and this one sounds unique.
Stephen @ Stephen Writes and I share a love for Gothic fiction, so I always trust his recommendations. The Lost Ones was new to me, and I just love the tagline- Some Houses are Never at Peace.
The blogger Lady in Read Writes had an interesting mix of favourites, many of which I had never heard of, but it was The Phone Booth at the Edge of the World that caught my eye. They describe it as elegantly beautiful!
Rachel @ The Perspicacious Reader had a few of my personal favourites on her list and I had been curious about The Hollow Places, so when I saw it was one of her favourites that sealed the deal for me! I have really been getting into horror, and this sounds like a good one!
Susan @ Bloggin’ ’bout Books put The Nature of Fragile Things on my radar. I have been wanting to read more unique historical fiction and this one is set in 1906 during the San Fransisco earthquake.
Lucy @ First Line Reader had Piranesi on her list, which was my favourite book of the year, so I was immediately curious about all of the others books she said were her favourites. The Betrayals caught my eye and I love that she said there are morally grey characters!
Lisa @ Bookshelf Fanatsies had The Apocalypse Seven on her list of favourites and the cover and title caught my attention. I don’t read nearly enough apocalyptic SciFi but I enjoy it when I do!

I love this post which also highlights other blogs you frequent! Great list of books to add to the TBR 😊
I’m so glad! Thought it was a fun way to highlight some other blogs at the same time.
It truly does! I will have to try something like it some day 🙂
I love this! I’ve added so many to my TBR from blogger and booksta friends, it’s a great problem to have haha
A River Enchanted is one I want now after seeing it on someone’s post!!!!
Doesn’t it sound so good???
It does! I’m hoping a book box does it because I’m on a ban!!!!
Yay for A River Enchanted! I want everyone to read it. 😂
I’m so excited about it!!
I’m very glad The Betrayals caught your attention because I need more people to read that book! I actually liked it for a lot of the same reasons I liked Piranesi, so I hope it works for you too 😊
Ah that thrills me! Can’t wait to read it!!
You’ll love Fragile Things! A histfic with a side of mystery/thriller! Enjoy! 🙌
It sounds so good! I have been wanting to get back into historical fiction. I have been seeing this book more and more on Instagram!
Such a great collection of books! A few of these are on my TBR list this year too. Also loved that you highlighted other bloggers you love <3 such a great idea.
I had so much fun putting this together! Thinking of other ways to do this throughout the year!
Right?! I get new recommendations every day. It’s a blessing and a curse!!
Thanks for including one of my books!! I also really loved The Hollow Places (so weird and creepy!!), and I do want to read The Nature of Fragile Things as well. Hope you enjoy!
Of course! I am really excited for The Hollow Places. I could go for weird and creepy!
I really enjoyed None Shall Sleep even though it’s not the most realistic. It was still a really fun read. Happy reading!
That is good to know! I am up for a fun, unrealistic read!
I have an arc of A River Enchanted and I’m hoping to get to it ASAP before it releases Feb 2nd, part of me held off on reading it in December because I have a feeling it might make my best of 2022 list LOL.
And I loved Crownchasers, I think you’ll enjoy it a lot!
Ohh I cannot wait to see what you think of A River Enchanted! There’s something so intriguing about it.
I had not heard of Crownchasers before, so I’m excited about it!
I agree it’s super intriguing!
Yay!!! It’s always nice to find a new read you’re excited for! ☺️
Oh wow! What a great list of books to read. I love that you highlighted bloggers who have suggested books to you.
It was fun for me to put this together! Trying to think of more ways to highlight fellow bloggers this year!
What a great post to do! Love it!
I had so much fun putting this together!
I’m excited to see A River Enchanted here and hear that it’s already popular as its one of the books I couldn’t resist preordering. I can’t believe The Betrayals is still on my tbr tbh as I loved the Authors debut.
I hope you get a chance to read all of these soon.
