Earlier, I posted about Books I Didn’t Get to Read in 2021 but Still Want to Read. Today I’m looking at books released in 2021 that I was interested in, but didn’t get to. I may still read them–making these lists I often forget a book I was interested in, so who knows?
One thing I noticed while looking back over the 2021 book releases is that there is very little diversity in book covers today. Now, I do not mean “diversity” in the racial or ethnic sense of people. I mean there are few cover designs out there today.
Another thing I noticed was that in addition to be wearing of female spies in World War II stories, I’m also just not that into psychological thrillers. I must be a heretic. I do not like to be frightened. I do not find it fun. I have enough stress in my own life without adding fictional stress.
Any way, here are my ten choices for this week.
Check out the rules at That Artsy Reader Girl and join in next week!
Hopewell's Public Library of Life 
I have quite the collection of unread Sarah Moss books. I loved The Tidal Zone so much, and I liked Ghost Wall but I keep putting off picking up her others.

Great list, Lisa. Beautiful Country and Personal Librarian are both on my TBR, but didn’t make my list. I had too many to put them all on.

I’m not a great fan of thrillers either. The psychological ones are better than those which are just plain scary

Every time I’ve seen Island Queen in the bookstore, it has made me smile, yet I haven’t brought it home with me. Maybe I should!
