91. Bookish superlatives from an unprecedented reading year

<p>After a few months off, we're back in your feeds today to discuss some of our favorite (and least favorite) books of 2021. We've organized this episode into bookish superlatives that let us share books you may not hear us talk about otherwise. We also offer a reflection on our reading year as a whole, including what it's been like to read with newborns around. It's great to be back at the mic talking all things books!</p> <p>For more bonus episodes, nerdy classes, and extra book talk,  join our <strong>Classics Club</strong>: <a href= "https://www.patreon.com/novelpairings">patreon.com/novelpairings.com</a>.</p> <p><strong>Connect with us</strong>  on <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/novelpairingspod/">Instagram</a> or <a href="https://twitter.com/NovelPairings">Twitter</a>. <strong>Subscribe</strong> to <a href="https://novelpairings.substack.com/">our weekly newsletter</a> to get updates and behind-the-scenes info.</p> <p><strong>Get two audiobooks for the price of one from Libro.fm</strong>. <a href= "https://libro.fm/membership/new">Use our Libro.fm affiliate code NOVELPAIRINGS</a> and support independent bookstores.</p> <p><strong>Links:</strong></p> <p><a href="https://bookshop.org/a/1300/9780593135204" target= "_blank" rel="noopener">Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir</a></p> <p><a href="https://bookshop.org/a/1300/9781250236210" target= "_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">A Psalm for the Wild Built by Becky Chambers</span></a></p> <p><a href="https://bookshop.org/a/1300/9780374602604" target= "_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Beautiful World Where Are You by Sally Rooney</span></a></p> <p><a href="https://bookshop.org/a/1300/9781250790767" target= "_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Plot by Jean Hanff Korelitz</span></a></p> <p><a href="https://bookshop.org/a/1300/9781524798659" target= "_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Malibu Rising by Taylor Jenkins Reid</span></a></p> <p><a href="https://bookshop.org/a/1300/978031
