These are some of the amazing novellas, novelettes, and short stories I read in 2021. There were many, many more amazing stories published, but being one person with a finite amount of hours in the day, I was (unfortunately) not able to read everything, but here are things I read and loved and would like others to read, too.
My own published work from 2021 is here.
