Recently the New York Times released a list of the 100 best books of the 21st century. As an avid reader, I was shocked that I had only read 15 of the books on the list. With this realization, the idea of asking others what their favorite book of the 21st century is, was born. So, here are a few books to add to your tbr from some different readers.
The Candy Shop War by Brandon Mull
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure by Hirohiko Araki
American Dirt by Jeanine Cummins
The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah
