1001 Books You May Have Actually Read (4 Year Anniversary)

Heeeeyyyy! It's me. The person that made the original 1000 Books You May Have Actually Read!
I'm here to update this list after 4 years, because so much has happened since I made the original in early 2020. A pandemic, booktok going haywire, and so many books got published!
I took some suggestions from the comments and limited everyone to 4 books total. (Get it? Because its been 4 years since i made the original? Hah, i crack myself up...) This allowed for more variety in the authors.
The original list was also from most to least popular, and I found that made finding some of the classics a little difficult, so I put them first. If you're looking for recently published books, they're on the last few pages!
