On this final day of 2021, it’s time to reflect on the end of the year in reading with the End of the Year Book Tag! This is one of my favorite posts of the year to write as it helps prepare for a new reading year and get ready for the Best Of lists.
I’m pleased to announce the semi-finalists for the third annual Bookish Jazz Awards! 🎉 Designed to actually give readers their voice to determine the “best” reads of the year, the goal of these awards is to recognize all of the amazing stories we got to read this year!
Welcome to my list of Anticipated Reads for January 2022; we are starting the new year off with some incredible sounding books! 🎉🎉 Here are ten books coming out in January that I think you should check out.
Think of the Reader Voracious Anticipated Reads as a list of noteworthy books coming up for publication. These posts focus on books from my preferred genres (fantasy, science fiction, mystery/thriller in YA & adult) but are by no means a representation of everything being published. There’s no way I will be able to get to all of these books personally, but I think my readers would be interested in them so I want to share and boost.

Patreon Adventures is a discussion series where the topic is decided by the Reader Voracious patrons. Once a month I add an extra post to my schedule, and it could be about anything: sometimes it’s bookish and others it’s a story about being chased by a flock of seagulls.
Welcome to the newest discussion on Reader Voracious, friends! 2021 has been such a whirlwind and I can’t believe it’s been six whole months since this post was originally selected by my patrons. It kept getting pushed back because of hiatuses and jobs and life. I haven’t been posting many discussions this year thanks to my never-ending need to take a break, but I feel so rejuvenated and am so excited to bring back the monthly discussions to remind you all that book blogs are relevant.
Welcome back to the third annual Bookish Jazz Awards! 🎉 Designed to actually give readers their voice to determine the “best” reads of the year, the goal of these awards is to recognize all of the amazing stories we got to read this year!

As always, the 2022 Spreadsheet Template was made available for Reader Voracious patrons early! Patreon supporters are also able to make custom requests and template suggestions. The template will always be free, but if you’d like early access, the ability to make requests, and more perks you can help support the work I do for as little as $2 a month!
It’s the most wonderful time of the year for those of us who love all things data! We all know that I live by my lists as a very Type A personality. I made the first version of my Book Blogger and Reader Spreadsheet Template in July of 2018. Since then, I have updated and improved the template each year and made it available to anyone who wants it for free. (If you want to leave me a tip to support my work, please check out my ko-fi!)
