Time for my favourite books of the year!
I´m splitting my SFF reads and ´other´ reads! In this post I will list my favourite SFF reads of 2021, and soon my other list will be posted! 🙂
To make this list I ordered my excel document on my CAWPILE ratings that I gave the books. I will list them here from ‘lowest’ to ‘highest’ but I would not necessarily say this is to order haha! I have no idea what my absolute favourite read of the year is..
This list contains 18 books, no idea why that number haha, I did list whole series together! (If I have a review for the book it will be linked!)
- Dread Nation by Justina Ireland
- Empire in Black and Gold by Adrian Tchaikovsky
- Kingdom of Souls & Reaper of Souls by Rena Barron




- Once Upon a Broken Heart by Stephanie Garber
- Across the Void by SK Vaughn
- Raybearer & Redemptor by Jordan Ifueko




- The Martian by Andy Weir
- Skyward & Starsight by Brandons Sanderson
- Bloody Rose by Nicholas Eames




- Cemetery Boys by Aiden Thomas
- The Greatcoats series by Sebastien De Castell
- Tawny Man Trilogy by Robin Hobb



- The Black Prism & The Blinding Knife by Brent Weeks
- Klara and the Sun by Kazuo Ishiguro



One of these four is my favourite read of the year, but it will probably change per day haha:
- The Bone Shard Daughter and the Bone Shard Emperor by Andrea Stewart
- Empire of the Vampire by Jay Kristoff
- Children of Time by Adrian Tchaikovsky
- The Tensorate Series by Neon Yang





This was quite hard haha!
You’re really making me want to pick up The Bone Shard Daughter series… but I already have so many books on my TBR!!
Do it!!
Ooh so excited to see Empire Of The Vampire & The Bone Shard books in your top four – both are ones that I majorly hope to read either this or next month!! I loved Kingdom Of Souls too although I still need to pick up up sequel.
My favourite books of the year were All Of Us Villlains, Addie LaRue, Chain Of Iron and so many others.
I hope you find lots more new favourites in 2022 and have a wonderful year in general too.
I hope you get to those soon!
All of Us Villains is high on my TBR!
I hope you love it as much as I did.
Raybearer and Cemetery Boys are so good, I am so happy to see them on your list!
They are!
Ooh, Skyward and Starsight were so good! And the only reason The Bone Shard Daughter wasn’t on my list was because I read it last year, haha, and I haven’t gotten to the sequel yet! Love seeing your list 🙂
I hope you will enjoy the sequel as well!
Thanks 🙂
Great list! I love Dread Nation and I really want to read Raybearer and Kingdom of Souls.
Definitely recommend those (Obviously haha)!
aaaah so many amazing books on this list! I loved The Bone Shard Daughter and The Bone Shard Emperor too!
They were so good!
I’m really looking forward to reading Children of Time and Dread Nation! Looks like you read some amazing books this year!
I hope you will love both!
Dread Nation and Great Coats are on my list to check out! I’m really enjoying the Skyward series, should be reading book 3 soon! Great List!
Ooh you need to do that!
I can’t wait to pick up Cytonic!
I haven’t read any of these but many are on my TBR, I especially want to read the Bone Shard Daughter!
Ooh it was so good! I hope you love all the ones that are on your TBR!
A lot of these are still on my tbr! Something to look forward to . I’m reading Once Upon a Broken Heart now!
Ooh I hope you will enjoy those!
Quite a few of my favorites too on here
I’m actually excited to read Empire of Black and Gold… just bought it recently and wanna try out the author’s writing ..
Ooh good to hear!
Obviously I really recommend it :p
