2021 Book Roundup

I had a pretty great reading year even if the year itself was not quite so spectacular off the page. (You can probably relate.) I continued to read a lot of comics in 2021 as well as a lot of nonfiction intermixed with some literary fiction sprinkled here and there. But rather than just talk about what I read, let's get to the list! (And maybe I'll post more regularly this year starting with my 2021 DNF post. *fingers crossed*)
