2020 Memorable Reads:
The Top Ten List and The Categories
I’m linking up today with That Artsy Reader Girl: Top Ten Tuesday: Favorite Books Read in 2020
“It’s the most wonderful time of the year!”
I mostly love the angst of creating top ten lists! Although it can be a daunting task, it’s my most anticipated post of the year! First, let me remind you that this list is subjective. It’s compiled of books I’ve read this year (there are always so many more great ones that I didn’t get to), and each one has made it onto this list because reading it was a memorable, emotional experience and gave me a “book hangover.”
I’m presenting my list this year in two formats: in list form and in categories. The categories part is a bit more comprehensive because I provided some runners up. Titles are links to my reviews or Amazon affiliate links. Although most titles in this post were published this year, a couple were not.
Thanks for sharing great reads with me this year!
