there’s a trend going around on letterboxd where people are making lists featuring their favourite films from every year that they’ve been alive, and i wanted to do a similar concept but with books (and there’s no better place to try it out than on pagebound!!) i have created my list by the novel’s release date, so my 2015 favourite was released in 2015, but i realise that it takes a good minute to put together so feel free to just do your favourite from each year and ignore release date! here are my favourite books from every year in the past decade: 2015: a little life - hanya yanagihara 2016: crooked kingdom - leigh bardugo 2017: if we were villains - m.l. rio 2018: my year of rest and relaxation - ottessa moshfegh 2019: daisy jones and the six - taylor jenkins reid 2020: midnight sun - stephenie meyer 2021: people we meet on vacation - emily henry 2022: tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow - gabrielle zevin 2023: penance - eliza clark 2024: empire of the damned - jay kristoff 2025: atmosphere - taylor jenkins reid what are yours? :)
