2021: Year in Review (books)

Covers of books I read in 2021

See them all on LibraryThing or on Goodreads
* 159 books, all but 2 of them on Kindle (Goodreads shows 169 but this includes rereads that I did not re-review or tag)
* 123 by female writers, 34 by male writers, not all books tagged
* 17 rereads

My categorisations (some books will have more than one of these tags: my tagging is not consistent and I'm not 100% confident of search results):
* 75 fantasy, 20 SF, 38 historical (predominantly 19th / 20th century, 10 books set in WW1 or WW2)
* 27 romance (majority non-het romance)
* 13 YA/children's
* 16 non-fiction

Best five:
* The Doors of Eden - Adrian Tchaikovsky
* The Last House on Needless Street - Catriona Ward
* Perhaps the Stars - Ada Palmer
* Ninth House - Leigh Bardugo
* In Other Lands - Sarah Rees Brennan
