Looking for the second half of our Best Books of 2021?
We are here for you!
That episode is here today and I couldn’t be more excited. Next week I will gather a blog version of my favorite reads, but I hope you can enjoy the audio version of the best books of our year today.
It’s time for the best books of 2021, and who better to lead us through this year than MomAdvice Book Gang superstar Larry. Larry ranks 28th as a top reviewer for GoodReads and has read over 360 books (so far) this year. So we were each challenged to bring our top twenty best books of the year to the show today.
