What was your favorite book in 2020?

  1. I’m always on the hunt for books to read, especially since I have the goal of reading 50 books this year. Some of the ones you listed I have heard, actually read, or on my to-read list, but some I have not. I am definitely going to check them out, as they sound quite lovely based on their descriptions. I did not read as many books as I would have liked to in 2020, but one of my favorites that I did read was “Dust” by Kara Swanson. I cannot wait for the sequel to release. 🙂
