Lord TBR’s Top Reads of 2021

December 14, 2021 by David W Leave a Comment

People seem to love lists, and while I am not always a huge fan of making them (I believe reviews speak for themselves), it is always fun to revisit the amazing novels I have had a chance to read over the last year. Below, you will find the covers for my Top 25 Reads of 2021 (a majority linked to reviews I’ve written). I have also listed out my Top 5 Novellas of 2021 as I believe they deserve just as much recognition.
