I read so many good books in 2021! Amongst all the favorites, I discovered 5 that were not only my favorite, but their authors became classified as “auto-buy” for me! I feel like that’s kind of a big deal. From a cozy cultural thriller and supernatural mystery to a dystopian, end of the world fantasy, a Rapunzel reimagining, and a paranormal, romantasy rom-com series, here are 5 of my favorite reads from 2021 and their authors who are now on auto-buy for me.

I’m pretty sure I blinked and November was over. I’m still recovering from that! But, reading in November was a lot of fun! I was happy I got to a few more contemporary romances than usual.

October was one of my favorite reading months! Not only because I got to read some of my backlist books with all the spooky, autumn feels, but because I really felt like I was in my element this month - between my creative work, life in general, and the books I read.

So, without further ado, here are all the books I read in October 2021 and a little life update.

From pirates to demons, forest witches and elemental magic, I read an interesting mix of books this month! Here are all the books I read in September 2021.
