The Books that got me through 2020
I had a goal to read 30 books in 2020. It was lofty in the first place, but I also didn’t expect the year to turn out the way it did. So, when I was 20 books behind schedule, I scaled back and changed it to a goal of 20 books in 2020. I am 3 books shy of that goal (with two in progress, to be finished in 2021).
I have read 17 books and 5,972 pages. Here are the books I’ve read and their star rating (out of 5):
Always and Forever, Lara Jean by Jenny Han ★★★★☆
One Day in December by Josie Silver ★★★★★
Normal People by Sally Rooney ★★★★☆
Red, White & Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston ★★★★☆
Two Lives of Lydia Bird by Josie Silver ★★★★★
A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder by Holly Jackson ★★★★★
Little Monsters by Kara Thomas ★★☆☆☆
Talking as Fast as I can: From Gilmore Girls to Gilmore Girls by Lauren Graham ★★★★★
Our Chemical Hearts by Krystal Sutherland ★★★★★
Hems and Homicide by Elizabeth Penney ★★☆☆☆ (DNF)
The Midnight Library by Matt Haig ★★★★★
I Owe You One by Sophie Kinsella ★★★★☆
Anxious People by Fredrik Backman ★★★★☆
Rough by Robin van Eck ★★★★★
Untamed by Glennon Doyle ★★★★★
Love & Olives by Jenna Evans Welch ★★★★☆
It’s Not You It’s Him by Sophie Ranald ★★★★☆
The two I have started and will finish next year are The Switch by Beth O’Leary and Ready Player One by Ernest Cline.
Next year, I hope to read 20 books and maybe more. But I’ll keep my goals modest for now. I have lofty plans to write a detailed book review of each and post them here for you to enjoy. I have all the books already picked out and ready to read.
Happy New Year, everyone!
