I read 22 5 star reads in 2021!!
I read so many amazing books in 2021! So I wanted to make a post sharing all of my 5 star reads. Turns out there was A LOT of them 😅
According to Goodreads my average rating is a 3.7. And I give out a whole lot of 4 stars. So I was pleasantly surprised to see I had so many 5 stars last year. I also have a bunch of 4.5 stars!
2022 isn’t off to the greatest start… so I’m hoping to bring all the 5⭐ vibes into my reading.
I won’t go into a ton of detail, otherwise this post will be a mile long. But my Goodreads reviews are linked for all the books if you want to see my full rambley thoughts 🖤

I see quite a few books that are on my TBR and books that I have already read in 2022! I am very interested in Name Sake and The Love Hypothesis. Oh and also Dark and Shallow lies.
I am currently reading Under the Whispering Door and I just know it will be a 5 star read for me.
Window Shopping was so cute and it makes me smile to see someone else loved it just as much as I did.
We seem to have a lot of the same reading tastes 🙂
