10 Romance Books I Read And Loved in 2021
I exceeded my goal of reading 35 books in 2021 by 4 books. When I reached 35 books, I didn’t want to stop. When I decided to compile a list of my 10 favorite books, I realized I read mostly romance books. The English Literature major inside me cringed a little in shame. I still fight with this voice inside me that says I should only spend my time reading the classics. But where is the fun in that? The reason I read 39 books this year is because I chose to read for fun. I wanted a mental escape, a slice of self care sprinkled throughout my day as a stay at home mom.

Reading became a joy instead of a job, which is what it felt like during my college “only the cannon” years and post-grad obsession with self-help books. If you want to enjoy reading, find a genre you enjoy. Who cares if the books are “penny dreadfuls” according to my mother. Another thing I noticed that I read 10 of the books about couples pretending to be in love actually fall in love with each other in the end. I guess I liked the theme of opposites attract.
