Book Reviews and More: Top Ten Fiction and Non-Fiction Books Fourth Quarter 2021

Top Ten Fiction and Non-Fiction Books Fourth Quarter 2021

It was a good year for reading. I read 365 books this year, 320 were first time reads. Discovered some new authors, some new series, and have come to love the books and booklets from the Catholic Truth Society even more.

This past 2 years have been different year for us all. Last year I had about a 15% drop in my reading totals but this year I am back to about a book a day. I am very happy with my reading this year. A bit of an increase this quarter. Reading and reviewing books is my hobby, I am grateful to be able to do so.

Back to this quarter. By the numbers:

Books Read: 83

First Time Reads: 54

Fiction: 20

Non-Fiction: 34

5/5 Stars: 55

5/5 Fiction: 11

5/5 Non-Fiction: 29

This year was my fastest to 200 books read, it took me 173 days. But the second half of the year had a bit of a slow down. There were so many great reads so far this year. It was very hard picking the top ten. You should check out my Favourite Books Year by Year list.

Note: I do not include books that have been read in previous years and were reread this year in my top ten lists; they are in sometimes in the bonus section. It was not easy again this quarter, making my picks.
