Favorite Fiction Reads From 2020
Every year I set a reading goal for myself. It’s usually small - 12 to 15 books, but it helps me keep up with reading for pleasure. I can so easily get sucked into hours of a nonsense TV show because I just want to zone out. I truly am a book lover, but sometimes I need some encouragement. And it always helps me to have a list of books to choose from for my next read, so to help you out I wanted to share my favorites books from 2020.
You can always follow me on Goodreads to keep up with what I am currently reading and what is on my TBR list. I love using Goodreads to keep track of my reading goal and to see what my friends are reading. It’s such a great way to find new reads to add to your TBR list.
Definitely check out your local library or small local bookstores if you are interested in reading anything below. I’ll link them as well if Amazon is your jam. With that, here are the books in no particular order…
