Great Books You Might Have Missed in 2021

Published: December 28, 2021

Looking for a Great Book? We're Here to Help!

The pandemic continues to throw everyone and everything off kilter, and the publishing industry is no exception.

2021 has been a hard year for many books to get attention, or to even get published on time. Supply chain issues have affected both publishing resources and shipping, resulting in a lot of wonderful titles you may have missed. To help you uncover this year's hidden gems, we've created a list of well-reviewed books that flew under the radar in 2021. The books are sorted into five subcategories: fiction, nonfiction, teen, elementary/middle grade, and picture books/early readers.

And much like browsing the Library shelves in person, you're sure to find something unexpected and delightful here!

    Interesting selection, thanks for compiling this list! Also, spelling police 😛 … in the intro it should say Affected instead of Effected.
