My Favorite Reads: Best of 2020

My Favorite Reads: 2020

This is the one year where I had ALL the time to read and then couldn’t. March through May was pretty difficult. Picked up many books only to put them down again. Once I got past the initial difficulty, reading became pleasurable again and some books stood out to me in a big way. This is a list of my faves read in 2020 in no particular order.

A Good Neighborhood by Therese Anne Fowler

If It Bleeds by Stephen King

The Dutch House by Ann Patchett

Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine by Gail Honeyman

The Second Home by Christina Clancy

The Vanishing Half by Brit Bennett

The Sun Down Motel by Simone St. James

Leave the World Behind by Rumaan Alam

Not a bad list considering everything else in 2020 was a real challenge. All links point to my review of each book so check them out if you are looking for something to read.

I don’t want to jinx it but 2021 should be better and hopefully filled with some really good reads.

It’s almost time for the Readers Imbibing Peril Challenge (#RIPXV, #PERILREADERS) ! This year, it could not be any easier to join in. All you have to do is find some spooky reads or movies, or both, and then post about them using the hashtags above. We ALL need this to get through this year and I am so excited!
