Top 10 of 2021!


It is hard to believe we are saying goodbye to 2021 already. Insane!

My Top 10 list for this past year consists of 7 romances (unsurprisingly since that is what I read most), 2 young adults, and 1 fiction (historical fiction to be exact).

You will find my Top 10 below, but I would also love to see yours. Send me a message on Instagram with the link to your list so I can have a look (and I will happily share on my Instagram stories too)! 

They are in no particular order and the ones with title only are clickable, that will send you to the review. Have fun and happy reading! 

I hope you find something to love in this list and that you end up loving it as much as I did. 

1 - Raphael by Tillie Cole (Dark Romance)

2 - Priest by Sierra Simone (Taboo Romance)

3 - The Vixen and the Vet by Kat Regnery (Modern Fairytale Retelling Romance)

Great modern retelling of Beauty and the Beast. Savanah was a struggling journalist and Asher a wounded veteran living in hiding because of his injuries. Savanah makes him face the world and his own fears, and Asher makes Savanah see the world in a different light. Perfect chemistry, very well written, emotional, perfection!!!

4 - Hitched by the Gunslinger by Michelle McLean (Western Romance)

5 - Texas Destiny by Lorraine Heath (Western Romance)

I discovered Western Romances this past year and fell in love. Cowboy romance doesn't always work me, but this Western Romance subgenre is killing it. Texas Destiny was my first in September and I've read 4 since :) 

6 - Raze by Tillie Cole (Dark Romance)

7 - The Prince of Broadway by Joanna Shupe (Historical Romance)

8 - Vespertine by Margaret Rogerson (Young Adult Fantasy)

9 - The Last Tiara by MJ Rose (Historical Fiction)

10 - Namesake by Adrienne Young (Young Adult Fantasy)


There are a few worthy mentions from this past year as well, all with reviews:

- I Hate you More by Lucy Gilmore (for the pup lover and the laughs)

- Miss Eliza's English Kitchen by Annabel Abbs (historical fiction)

- Witches Get Stitches by Juliette Cross (paranormal romance)

- Neon Gods by Katee Robert (Modern day Greek Mythology inspired)

Crow and Reaper by A. Zavarelli (Boston Underworld #1 and #2)

Crow and Reaper by A. Zavarelli (Boston Underworld #1 and #2) @glimpses_of_my_books These books are (to me at least) two VERY different books and the reason you should never give up on an author after just one book. I did not like Crow  one tiny bit. But I absolutely loved Reaper . One is a 1 star, while the other is a 4...  Let's start with the good first, Reaper . Ronan is likely to break your heart. Throughout the book we get snippets of his past, accounts of everything he had to go through before Crow and his mother find him and save him from the horrible life he was leaving. In a way, although I wasn't a fun of Crow in the first book, his love and care for Ronan had made me like him a little better. Ronan is not quiet, moody, and broody by choice. It is a consequence of all the things he has been through, the things I mentioned above that will break your heart... He is caring and loving, but he has no idea how to put those things in action. He is, in a way, one of the mo...

The Book Hater's Book Club by Gretchen Anthony

The Book Hater's Book Club  at first appears to be about a struggling bookstore and its imminent sale. Elliot, the co-owner of Over the Rainbow Bookstore, started  The Book Hater's Book Club , a newsletter of reading recommendations for the self-proclaimed non-readers of the world, because he believed there was a book out there for everyone. Something I wholeheartedly agree with! For years he and Irma have kept the store going and always had a recommendation in hand. When you finish this book, you will have yet another list of books to read.  However, this book is about more than just books and a struggling bookstore. It is also about grief, the price of secrets, and a little more grief.  You see, Elliot is gone, and his grief-ridden business partner has agreed to sell the store to developers. Problem is, she didn't tell that to anyone until the deal was almost done. Which is making her daughters ask questions. Why is she selling? Is it grief alone? Is ther...

Vandalar Concubines 1 to 4 by V. K. Ludwig

I don't read monster romance, I have tried a few and found it is not for me. All the tentacles and slime and whatnot are not for me at all. But I find that I enjoy alien romance a lot. Especially when the anatomy is not too different. This series was great. The exact amount of cheesiness and humor I wanted this past week. It reminds me very much of my favorite romance subgenre of all time - paranormal romance with shapeshifters, wolves and bears to be exact.  The first book in the series is Sign Here for Horns. Our heroine purchases herself an alien worker to help around the farm just to find out that he is a saikh. A saikh is a male concubine and trained to pleasure females in all ways possible. Their relationship is both funny and sweet. All he wants to do is pleasure her and all she wants (at least to start) is getting her farm working. Their different views on what and how to pleasure surely made for many funny scenes. Although slavery very obviously exists in this series, she...
