The Bookish Land | Favorite Books of 2021 - Top Reads | The Bookish Land [cc] @TheBookishLand | Uploaded December 2021 | Updated October 2024, 24 minutes ago.
[cc] Hi friends! It’s the last day of the year and I’m so excited to talk about my favorite books of 2021. I have 9 books on my list, all of them are kind of heavy-hearted 🙈. I think a more suitable title for this video would be “what a heavy-hearted reading year” 😂 But I'm glad that I read every single of them, and they really made me learn a lot!
