How many books did you read in 2020? What were your favorites?
Do you have any reading goals for 2021?
I read 27 (may sound like a lot, but it's roughly half my average).
Notable gems included:
Weird Scenes Inside the Canyon: Laurel Canyon, Covert Ops, and the Dark Heart of the Hippie Dream
David McGowan
Wow, No Thank You
Samantha Irby
Permanent Record
Edward Snowden
Into the Raging Sea: 33 Mariners, 1 Megastorm, and the Sinking of El Faro
Rachel Slade
My First Five Husbands...And The Ones Who Got Away
Rue McClanahan
Self Care
Leigh Stein (not what it sounds like, lol)

I stopped reading for fun once I got to college but with the pandemic I've been trying to get back into it. I have a stack of books from high school that I never got to so I've been trying to work through those before I read some of the newer books that I got recently.

I lost count of what I read in 2020 haha
My noteable reads were:
Erotic Stories for Punjabi Widows (reserve judgement and give it a go, I swear...)
A Man Worth Shaving For; Oh, Keep Your Shirt On; and First Kiss Train Wreck by Michelle Pennington (best Romcoms and overall best series I read in 2020 - she's got a #4 coming soon too)
Sapphire Ridge Prospects by Darlene Byers (a new author, but with a unique Australian voice)

We had our second child right at the end of 2019, and then when I stopped taking the bus to work during the pandemic I basically lost all my reading time for the year. I think I read maybe 4 or 5 books on my own time? Out of those I think the most notable ones I read where Liane Moriarty's What Alice Forgot and Madeleine L'Engle's A Wrinkle in Time. Apart from that I enjoyed starting to go through the Chronicles of Narnia with our daughter for the first time!

I didn't keep track of what I read in 2020. I was incredibly busy as work after the pandemic.
This year, unemployed, due to the pandemic. Sheesh.
But my goal for 2021 is 15 books. Not much. But I have 9 down at the moment and halfway through another.
This year I'm reading a bit of everything. Young adult, bio, mystery/crime, and sci-fi fantasy.
I'm wanting to get some old gothic romance in and maybe some westerns, and historical fiction and non-fiction. But we'll see where my tastes take me.

I'm beginning to read a lot again! I use to love it as a child before I grew up and life got complicated lol! In a super stressful situation I've only got the chance to read about 5 books this year and three volumes of The Boys comic.

I just finished "Age of Vice" by Deepti Kapoor. A fast-paced novel set in contemporary India, blending crime, luxury, and corruption. I want to write about this book and I found writing service to do my term paper faster. This service can help students to write essays fast. I often hire their writers to help me with writings. Thanks to their writers I got the highest score in the class.
