SOS: Serious Overload of Series discussion

Cheers to you, SOS Members!
Tis Almost the Season! *<|:)

The mods and I would like to wish everyone a happy holiday season full of love and laughter. And, a safe, healthy, happy New Year!

Please remember to take time for yourself. Don't let the holidays get ya down. Need a break from the chaos? Read a good book, talk to friends, get outside and enjoy the season!

~ Thinking Ahead ~
We'd like to create a new masthead, similar to those we've had in previous years. Let's start a list of our favorite books of 2021 and I'll add the cover of each book to our banner for 2022. Sticking with the same size, I can add 54 covers. Please copy the list below and repost with your favorite book (similar to our BEST OF threads) so that we do not have any duplicates.

Your favorite(s) do not have to have a 2021 publish date; your choices must simply be those you read and enjoyed in 2021.

Happy Holidays! Thank you for spending time with us! We hope you will continue to join us in the coming year. If you have a wishlist of things you'd like to see within the group in 2022, please stop by our Suggestion Box thread to share your thoughts.

2022 Masthead
Help us pick books for our 2022 series masthead!
Your favorite(s) does not have to have a 2021 publish date; your choices must simply be those you read and enjoyed in 2021.

Copy and paste this list, then add your favorite(s). No duplicates, please. Please make sure to link to your specific book choice so I know which book/cover to include, thanks.
Masthead will accommodate 54 covers only.

Steph, didn't I get the Slaughtered Lamb from you? LOL

Yup 😁 So glad you liked it! Still, there’s always a few I haven’t heard of or read yet listed here each year.
