Top 10 Books of 2021 and Year-End Awards

I have been so excited to make this Top 10 Books of 2021 and Year-End Awards video. These type of videos were what made me create my channel in the first place and become familiar with booktube. It was an amazing year of reading for me and picking the top 10 book of 2021 was no easy task. I think I did an alright job of it :-) Let me know what you think down below!

Hell yes! My favorite awards show of all time! You have a great way of articulating yourself that is very enjoyable to listen to! I love your videos and Chatting with Nuts are my favorite, such brilliant conversations

I finally got a chance to watch this (was traveling yesterday and today)! It's great to hear you discuss your favorite reads from 2021, Jimmy, and what a list of authors! I'm delighted to see so many of my favorites here as well, including, Hobb, Erikson, King, Jemisin, Abercrombie, and Clarke, among others. Congratulations on an amazing year of reading and a wonderful year for your channel. It's been an honor to chat with you about Malazan and other things. And, yes, Chatting with Nutts is gift to us all!

I cannot tell you how happy I am that 11/22/63 made it on the list! I love that book and see so many people not feel the same, which is fine, but I’m so glad you do! ☺️ No surprises with The Bonehunters, and now I’m more excited than ever to begin The Realm of the Elderlings soon. Happy New Year, Jimmy! 🎉

[believer]

Congrats Jimmy, you had a stellar reading year! Picking faves is tough and I find it impossible, glad you could pull it off. Look forward to see what the new year brings you.

Gah, I have a lump in my throat when you talk about Hobb and Fitz! I too finished Farseer in the last year and halfway through Liveship and never have I fallen so hard for an author as I have for Hobb. I actually went out and bought myself a self proclaimed merch - a plush Wolf doll and named him Night Eyes to keep as memento... that is how hard I've fallen 🤣🤣 It also makes me happy you loved House In Cerulean Sea. I've heard audiobook is fantastic!

I'm about to dive into Fifth Season this month, so it's interesting hearing different viewpoints on it. The second person POV is the thing that definitely intrigues me the most.

[andrewhanson]

You really crammed the heaviest hitters in sci fantasy this year. Great list! It's going to be a challenge to top it this coming year

[derrisreaditbefore]

My year has had it's ups and downs, and The Fantasy Nuttwork has been there for me the whole way through. You Jimmy, the channel in general, and the discord in particular - have all added some real enjoyment to my life, and CWN feels like icing - that extra sweet something on top.
Here's to a great '22

[RJGibson]

What a great year of reading Jimmy! I hope 2022 is just as good, it’s been a pleasure watching you grow this year mate. Appreciate you and I wish you all the best for 2022.

[FineReads]

I completely agree with your comments on Dune. The influence Dune had on so many other books is incredible!!
Love how you did your year end review!

[crystalsingh]

I'm here for all the Hobb & Fitz praise which I know you will be doing even before I watch the video🤩 😁🤣 I read Dark Tower because of your initial review & I loved it!

[slowlyred]

Hell yeah!!
Here's to another year 🙌

[jamesmccullough]

From one Jimmy to another, I'd like to say you've definitely earned another subscriber with this list. I just started The Farseer Trilogy this week, but to hear another person praising and adoring Malazan for all the same reasons I do is basically an instant subscribe. Looking forward to getting to know more about your taste this year, and exploring your Farseer and Malazan content. Happy reading!

[bluejayandrooster]

Fitz is incredible. I completely agree with you. Watching your reviews as I read the series myself inspired my husband and I to start our own channel :) Thanks for what you do here!

[ReadingAde]

I only got to book 7 of the realms of the elderlings. I tried to keep pace with you, but, man, I don’t know how you did it. Glad you enjoyed 11/22/63. I reread The Tommyknockers and Under the Dome this year and loved them all over again. Btw, my girlfriend did wind up buying the folio edition of Clash of Kings for me. It was one of my Hanukkah gifts. I was completely surprised. Those books are so beautiful to read and hold. Have a great new year, Jimmy!

[safinan]

Hi thank you for some great videos!!! I’m so excited to join the with u journey on YouTube for 2022! Happy new year 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳

[EnzymeBondedConcrete]

Our tastes in books align really well, so definitely looking at all the books you highly praise here that I haven't read. ROTE, Malazan, Second Apocalypse, ASOIAF are some of my favorite series of all time. Love the channel and keep up the good work 👍. You got me super hyped for Grace of Kings and think I'm really going to like it.

[clairemeehan]

Just discovered your channel and to open with your love for the Realm of the Elderlings series immediately reassured me I can trust your judgement. I finished that series a couple of years ago and I have never been on such an emotional rollercoaster. Fitz the Fool and Nighteyes ❤❤❤
