Hey everyone and welcome to Owl Book World! Today I’m wanting to talk about the best books of 2021. All of these books I have read and LOVED so I have to share them with you. Most of these books are going to be horror and thriller because that’s mostly what I read. If that’s what you enjoy as well then great! If not then let me know in the comments what some of your favorites are!
I feel like this year I have a lot more to add to my favorite list. I’m not really sure if that’s because this year I was a little lenient or if I was better at picking books I knew I would enjoy. Or maybe it’s a little bit of both because COVID has made me realize I shouldn’t be so harsh and be a little particular about what I pick up. What have been some of the best books of 2021 to you?

Hey everyone and welcome to Owl Book World. Today I’m writing a review for Anna Dressed in Blood. I’m sure if you’re here then you’ve heard of this book before! Let me know in the comments where you heard the book from!
Hey everyone and welcome to Owl Book World! Today I’m talking about what November 2021 book releases you should add to your TBR! Some of these I should be starting soon so make sure to sign up for my newsletter so you can get an update on how these books are!
Do you guys like looking up what books come out each month? I hate to say it but most of the time doing these sorts of posts really makes me want to buy more books, but I also really like to stay updated on what books are coming out. Hopefully, once I’m able to get my TBR down some I can start going through some of these books and get them to read as well. I swear the amount of new releases can be a bit overwhelming but that’s why we need to start DNFing (did not finish) books we really don’t like.
Hey everyone and welcome to Owl Book World! I’m so happy to see you here. Today I’m writing a review about Legend by Marie Lu. I just found out about this book recently through TikTok (if you’d like to follow me there you can find me here) and I just had to get my hands on it. I’m surprised I have never heard of this book before getting on TikTok since I really enjoy dystopian novels!

What I thought about Lies Like Wildfire
I want to thank Dave from The Write Reads and the publishers for the opportunity to read and review Lies Like Wildfire. I’m not even sure what I expected from the story but I saw the cover and saw that it was a YA thriller and I just had to get my hands on the book. I couldn’t help but be excited to read this one.
The Characters
Lies like Wildfire follows Hannah Warner who is ultimately a good kid. Despite all that has happened to her she still pushes herself to do better and to be better. She wants more for her life and not be like her mother who was a huge screw-up. Why would she want the same life for herself?
Jennifer does an amazing job with Hannah Warner. She’s a very three-dimensional character that I ended up really liking. On top of that I can see why she would be scared to tell anyone about the that she accidentally helped started. Hannah didn’t want to be anything like her mother and she didn’t want to let her father down. Her response to the whole situation seems completely logical. My only thing is that she’s not really a good friend. For someone who really wants to keep her friends together she’e perfectly willing to throw them under the bus.
The Plot
I’m not really sure what I was expecting when it comes to the plot of Lies Like Wildfire. When I ended up getting the earc for the book I had actually forgotten what the story was about so I was in for a nice surprise when I started reading it.
For me the start of the book and towards the end of book were really good. In the middle I wasn’t exactly sure where the story was going to go or if they were going to get charged for the fire. The story actually surpassed my expectations because like I said I had forgotten what the book was even about.
Yes, I know I need to stop stop participating in blog tours and then forgetting completely what the book was even about! I do it all of the time and I hope I’m not alone!
I do have to say that the ending completely surprised me and I loved it! I will be reading a lot more of Jennifer’s books!
Welcome to Owl Book World! I hope everyone is doing okay and hanging in there. I know the past couple of years have been a little tough with COVID and not really being able to do anything. On the plus side, you’re probably reading a lot. Are you guys young adult fans? You must be if you’re on this post. Today I’m talking about YA thrillers which just so happens to be one of my favorite genres in this age group. Some of the books I’m going to recommend are probably some you haven’t heard while there are some you probably have.
