What a year, huh? When I set a reading goal of 150 books late last year, I never envisioned that I would have both so much more time (and so much less willpower) to read this year. But thanks to a gal named Janet Evanovich, I made it to 150! By the end of the year I often have many top contenders to work from. Instead of forcing myself to narrow down my favorites, I’ve decided to throw all of my favorite reads of 2020 out here, separated by genre.

After reading 150 books in 2020 I’ve decided that next year my reading goal is….one! Now that I’ve successfully met my reading goal 3 years in a row, I want to see how many books I end up reading when meeting a specific number is not a constraint. Never fear, since I’m sure I’ll have lots of favorites at the end of 2021.
