NYPL Best Books 2021

As I mentioned when I released my gift guide last week, it’s that time of year when all the “Best of” lists are being published from organizations, libraries, blogs, and more! Today I saw the New York Public Library’s Best Books 2021 list is available. With suggestions for kids, teens, adults there’s a little something for everyone!

Learn more about the committees and the history of the Best Books and check out the previous years’ selections. And what I love is that these committees really focus on diveristy and accessibility which is so great to see. They even have a list of titles in Spanish as well!

My reminder, as always, there are thousands of books being published every year. You may see a lot of the same books on multiple lists. But what matters most is that a book speaks to you and it doesn’t matter if it’s never won an award or been on a “best of” list.
