Favorite Backlist Reads 2021

It’s that time of year were we as readers and bloggers try to compile a list of our favorite reads of the year! Backlist reads are any books that weren’t released in this calendar year…we all have never-ending TBRs and we try to make an effort to not just focus on the shiny and new!

We also like to celebrate our readers who keep us going, so be sure to enter the giveaway at the bottom of this post, and check out additional chances to win on our Instagram! You can check out our Favorite 2021 YA releases and our Favorite Adult Reads too!

Kelly’s Favorite Backlist Reads of 2021

For someone who used to read over 100 a books a year, and read less than that these last few, my backlist TBR grows every year substantially, but I do prioritize some books to be read when I can. I am also a huge mood reader, and I buy way more than I can read, but buying them makes me feel like I am supporting them at release even if I don’t make it to reading them that year.

1. Legendborn by Tracy Deonn
2. The Fell of Dark by Caleb Roehrig
3. The Henna Wars by Adiba Jaigirdar
4. A Cuban Girl’s Guide to Tea and Tomorrow by Laura Taylor Namey
5. Between Burning Worlds by Jessica Brody & Joanne Rendell
