This is only the first in a sure-to-be-long string of yearly wrap-up posts, so stay tuned for my “best books of 2021” post and my reading stats wrap-up coming in the next few days!

The Bell Jar is *such* a good book, isn’t it? I read it this past March for school and liked it a lot more than I thought I would 😄
