The Best Books I Read in 2020

I read 32 books in 2020, which is very short from my goal of 40, and sadly even short of last year’s 37.
40 will still be my goal for 2021 and I really hope to get closer!

I’m not very good at writing reviews but I leave them anyway because I read reviews and I know they are important to authors. I’ve tried to be more present on Goodreads this year. My Goodreads reviews are here. Most of the books I read, I read on my Kindle because of it’s ease of use so those reviews always show up on Amazon here. I also read “real” books from time to time and I always carry one with me, to read while waiting.

The titles I have highlighted in bold are my five star reviews, while the lighter ones are my four star reviews and I recommend each and everyone of them. I hope you find something you like in this list or if you have read one of these and either agree or disagree with my rating drop me a comment.
