Here it is! Whew, okay. I set a really really high goal to read 200 books this year and I am proud I did it, but… I won’t be setting a goal like that again. LOL It was getting a bit much towards the end but I am too competitive for my own good (even against myself) so I had to keep going. I think in 2022, I will set a goal of 50. Feeling a little book burn out! BUT!! That’s okay because oh dudes, I read soooo many great books!! It PAINS ME to even rank top 10 lists. There are sooo many good stories on this list. I had to split up fiction and romance because I couldn’t even try to rank the two together… I love romance too much. Ha!
If you want to see my personal star-ratings for every book on this list, you can check out my GoodReads. I don’t currently write reviews (I am already struggling to find time to do all the things) but I do share my thoughts on Instagram in my stories and in the book rec posts… so definitely go and browse there. Or you could always message me. :) I LOVE chatting books!!
Okay, now that you all think I am crazy for setting this goal and making myself crazy to complete it, here’s the list followed by my top 10 fiction, top 10 romance, and top 10 non-fiction. I hope you find some book inspo here!
