Of the 61 books I read from cover to cover in 2021, these were my absolute favorites.

Molly Knox Ostertag's The Girl from the Sea embraces summer romance and creates a lush, fantastical world worth diving into at any age.

Tokyo Ever After by Emiko Jean is the perfect summer read with delightful characters, a nuanced story, and a quick, breezy pace.

Sonya Renee Taylor's Your Body Is Not an Apology Workbook contains a wide range of exercises for every reader to reframe their relationship to their body.

If you’re in the mood for dark, atmospheric fantasy this winter, look no further than Melissa Albert’s The Night Country.

Bloom is the kind of feel-good romance that sticks with you, days and even weeks after you read it.

Casey McQuiston’s Red, White & Royal Blue grabbed me from the first page, since the rom-com shenanigans kick off immediately.

Everyday Tarot and The Practical Witch’s Spell Book are useful tools for building your magical practice.

As someone who isn’t a particularly dedicated student of history, I enjoy books like Girl Squads because they present historical figures in a digestible way that holds my interest.

I devoured Melissa Albert’s The Hazel Wood because I absolutely did not want to put it down.

Lunar Abundance goes beyond just tracking the physical effects of the moon.
