Hello and welcome to a bit of a throwback to 2021! I wanted to take a moment and share some of my favorite reads of the past year and give them a bit of a shoutout. Last year I did not do great with my reading numbers, I read about half as much as a usually do, but I am happy to say there were a few I really enjoyed. Here is a list of the ones that stuck out to me the most in no particular order.
The Books
Dune by Frank Herbert
Heaven by Mieko Kawakami
The Book of Accidents by Chuck Wendig
Tokyo Ueno Station by Miri Yū
Tyll by Daniel Kehlmann
White Tears/Brown Scars: How White Feminism Betrays Women of Color by Ruby Hamad
Later by Stephen King
How to Think Like a Roman Emperor: The Stoic Philosophy of Marcus Aurelius by Donald J. Robertson

Dune was such a surprise for me. I didn’t expect to love it as much as I did.
