What books have made your TOP READS for 2021?

I loved every book I read this year but these are the books that stayed with me after the story ended.

The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah

Beneath a Scarlet Sky by Mark T. Sullivan

A Lifetime of Impossible Days and The Emporium of Imagination by Tabitha Bird

Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs and the other books in the series

The Reading List by Sara Nisha Adams

Flight of Dreams by Ariel Lawhon

I read The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah in 2019 and still remember it quite well. I do remember crying at certain points.

My top reads of 2021 (and I chose new reads to me) are:
Rebecca by Daphne DuMaurier

The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett

Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte

The Importance of Being Earnest and Other Plays by Oscar Wilde

Mansfield Park by Jane Austen

China Court by Rumer Godden

A Little Princess by Frances Hodgson Burnett

Elizabeth and Her German Garden, and the Enchanted April by Elizabeth Von Arnim

The Diary of a Provincial Lady by E.M. Delafield (I listened to this on Librivox and the narrator was wonderful).

The Father Christmas Letters by J.R.R. Tolkien

Moonflower Murders by Anthony Horowitz, The Guest List by Lucy Foley, A Murder is Announced by Agatha Christie, Ocean Prey by John Sanford, and The Rose Garden by Susanna Kearsley.

Myra Chandler wrote: "Moonflower Murders by Anthony Horowitz, The Guest List by Lucy Foley, A Murder is Announced by Agatha Christie, Ocean Prey by John Sanford, and The Rose Garden by Susanna Kearsley."

I loved The Guest List. I liked all the twists and turns and the connections. I never saw any of it coming.
