Hi guys, long time no blog post! 🥲 How are you all doing?! It’s the first day of the second half of the calendar year! Whoop!
I’ve not been blogging a lot this year because there’s been little to no free time to allot to blogging but I’ll try to do better. In terms of reading, though, I’ve been on such a high and I’ve read a lot of amazing books this year. I’m really behind on posting reviews and I don’t even know where I want to start from. 😂
Anyhoo, the first six months of reading in 2021 went great! I read 190 books – 131 audiobooks, 14 ebooks, 20 graphic novels, and 25 physical books. Wild, right? 😂 You can check all my reads so far in my 2021 Reading Challenge on Goodreads.
Top 10 Books of the Year, so far…
This year, I’ve read so many amazing books and it’s impossible to pick a fave or even a top 5, so for the first six months, here are my top 10. These were all rated 5 stars, and they are in no particular order. I have also not included rereads.
- Act Your Age, Eve Brown by Talia Hibbert
- Concrete Rose by Angie Thomas
- Ace of Spades by Faridah Àbíké-Íyímídé
- The Body is Not an Apology by Sonia Renee Taylor
- The First Woman by Jennifer Nansubuga Makumbi
- Aftershocks by Nadia Owusu
- Dear Senthuran by Akwaeke Emezi
- Amal Unbound by Aisha Saeed
