Ranking All 56 Books I Read This Year

This is exactly what it sounds like it is. I will be doing a separate post discussing my top 10 in more detail, but this is a straight list of all of the books I read in order of least to most favorite. Look on my TikTok too for a few other videos I should hopefully be posting about my favorite surprise reads, series, and authors of the year. 

Also, I read 56 books but I will be putting books that are part of series together for my convenience, so it's technically ranked as 45 books, not 56.

45. The River Has Teeth, Erica Waters

44. The Lock Artist, Steve Hamilton

43. Out of Darkness, Ashley Hope Perez

42. Death In The Dark, Bryce Moore

41. A Spark In The Cinders, Jenny Elder Moke

40. The Forest Demands Its Due, Kosoko Jackson

39. Medusa, Nataly Gruender

38. The Girl In The Well, Rin Chupeco

37. Elatsoe, Darcie Little Badger

28. The Kinder Poison Series, Natalie Mae

27. War of the Foxes, Richard Siken

26. Will My Cat Eat My Eyeballs, Caitlin Doughty

This is where we get into the books that I can find little to no fault in and love so SO dearly. I would read any and all of these books over again if I had the time and the stamina.
