Top Ten-ish Favorite Books of 2021

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly bookish meme hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. More information here.

I am not mad that I struggle to pick a top ten favorite books. This year, I tried to keep tabs throughout the year of my favorite reads and had every intention of picking one each month. But then I couldn't pick between my two January favorites...and then April happened. There are a LOT of runner ups.
