Ep. 101: Fall 2021 Circle Back with Catherine (@GilmoreGuide)

<p><strong>In the <a href= "https://www.sarahsbookshelves.com/podcast-episode-93-fall-2021-book-preview-with-gilmoreguide/">Fall 2021 Book Preview (Ep. 93)</a>, Catherine and I shared our </strong><strong>most anticipated books that were coming out August – December 2021. Today, we’re updating you on the books we shared in the Fall Preview…now that we’ve had the chance to read — or at least attempt them. Many Fall books lean more literary, which hasn’t been working well for me lately, and overall, the Fall 2021 books didn’t turn out quite how we’d hoped.  </strong></p> <p><em>This post contains affiliate links, through which I make a small commission when you make a purchase (at no cost to you!).</em></p> <h2><strong>Announcement</strong></h2> <ul> <li>My 2022 <a href= "https://www.sarahsbookshelves.com/the-2022-rock-your-reading-tracking-spreadsheet/">Rock Your Reading Tracker</a> is now available <strong>for $14.99 or FREE if you’re a <a href= "https://www.patreon.com/sarahsbookshelves">Superstars Patron</a>.</strong> The tracker also got a big upgrade for 2022!</li> </ul> <h2><strong>Highlights</strong></h2> <ul> <li>Sarah’s and Catherine’s Fall 2021 reading stats and success rates.</li> <li>Sarah talks about getting in tune with her shifting reading tastes, rather than attempting to read they way she did 2 years ago.</li> <li>Sarah’s and Catherine’s highs and the lows.</li> <li>Our Best and Worst picks from the <a href= "https://www.sarahsbookshelves.com/podcast-episode-93-fall-2021-book-preview-with-gilmoreguide/">Fall 2021 Book Preview</a> episode.</li> </ul> <h2><strong>Fall 2021 Books Read Before the Preview Episode </strong><strong><a class= "spp-timestamp">[6:05]</a></strong></h2> <p><strong>Sarah’s Picks:</strong></p> <ul> <li><a href="https://amzn.to/3mIxQLP" target="_blank" rel= "nofollow noopener">Friends Like These</a> by Kimberly McCreight (September 7) | <a href="https://amzn.to/3mIxQLP" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Buy from Amazon</a><img src="http://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?t=s
