‘Tis the season for my annual book list!
PSA: Whenever possible, PLEASE support local, independent bookstores, instead of Amazon, as you shop for books this holiday season. I will link all the titles below to Bookshop.org which is a great way to shop online while still supporting indies.
As always, these are books I read this year (they were not necessarily published in 2021) in no particular order…
