I can’t believe we’re halfway through 2021 already! This means that it’s time to pick my favourite books that I’ve read this year so far though, and while making this list is hard I do love putting this post together and showcasing my favourite books.
Today I’m sharing my favourite novels that I’ve read this year and tomorrow I will share my favourite nonfiction books.
The books I’ve chosen are all books that have made a difference to my life in some way this year and I’m so grateful to have found so many wonderful books. My list is in no particular order as it was impossible to pick a favourite, all 21 of these books are well worth a read. š
Here are my favourite novels of 2021 so far…

Dear Justyce and Dear Martin are definitely up there for me but I think I read both last year. Dorothy Evelyn Smith’s O, the Brave Music made a big impression on me and Paul Magr’s Hunky Dory made an instant favourite. CLR James’ Minty Alley was wonderful, Zakiya Dalila Harris The Other Black Girl the only book I’ve stayed up to finish this year so far. Molly Clavering’s Mrs Lorimer’s Quite Summer was both excellent in itself and promised much fun exploring this author in the future. So three old ones and two new ones for me!
Fab list Hayley! I still can’t decide whether I want to get Malibu Rising on audio or not, decisions decisions!
I knew I shouldn’t have clicked on this post when I saw the title. šš I have read two of these, Dear Justyce and The Thursday Murder Club, so that means I have several to check out and possibly add to my TBR mountain. it looks like a great list Hayley.
Such a nice selection! I look forward to reading The Thursday Murder Club!
Such a great list! Dear Justyce would probably be on mine to and so many of the others are on my TBR…
Louise Beech and True Crime Story are popping up on a lot of other lists of favourites so you are in good company
