  • Arina’s Top 10 Reads of 2021

    Arina's Top 10 Reads of 2021

    Like last year, the Asylum ladies are sharing their top 10 reads of 2021 in a sequence of 3 posts. Today Arina closes the curtain on this spotlight. You'll notice some of these books weren't actual 2021 releases, as the only rule we had for our top reads was that we had to have read them in 2021, regardless of their release date. Because it's never too late to discover a favorite or a genre-behemoth you are just now learning to love.
