Okay! Best books of 2021

Worst Books of 2021

Well, I’m not exactly sure what this mish-mash of books says about me as a human. It’s pretty eclectic.

Darcy Coates has a book on both my best and worst lists. And one of my absolute favorite authors, Paul Tremblay, managed to make the worst list.

Best list has 2 non-fiction, 1 classic, 1 romance, 1 horror, and 1 thriller.

Worst list has 2 non-fiction, 1 romance, 1 erotica, and 2 horror.

That’s it for me! It was pretty good reading year. It was a solid writing year too. I published 5 books (3 erotica, 1 romance, 1 horror). I’ve made decent money in both KU and Kindle Vella.

For 2022, I have lots of plans for reading and publishing. I’ll probably pull back on arcs and blog tours. I did a lot of those this year and many of the books I received arcs of ended up being 1 stars or DNFs for me. Although Music of the Night was an arc I received via blog tour and that was one of my absolute favorites of the year.
