Last year featured a LOT of restrictions on what people were able to do with their time (for obvious reasons). I have always loved reading but found myself in a very long and sad reading slump (which was very exhausting for me considering I am studying an English degree) that lasted for a good few years. Due to not having much else to do for a lot of the year, I found myself getting sucked back into the world of reading for fun in a way I haven’t managed to be for a long time. I read a lot of books throughout the year, and this is a list of some of the books I recommend the most in the chronological order in which I read them.

- Where the Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens
- The Yearbook by Holly Bourne
