2020 reading wrap-up

 I did NOT think I'd make my reading goal this year, because I was supposed to get married and my business would limit reading time. However I super-exceeded it. Story is where I escape too when I'm stressed. You are given a year of pandemic, quarantining, and postponing your wedding twice and this girl reads A LOT.

My top 5 :

1. You Were Always Mine by Nicole Baart⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

2. The Great Alone by Kristin Hannah ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

3. Sheltering Rain by Jojo Moyes ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

4. The Selection series by Kiera Cass (rating depends on the book? But overall 5 stars)

5. The Winter Garden by Kristen Hannah ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Other 5 star reads this year:

*Little Fires Everywhere by Celeste NG

*The Woman in Cabin 10 by Ruth Ware

*The Chosen Ones by Veronica Roth

November reading wrap up

 

Is it already December? Have we really been at home for NINE months!? I swear yesterday was November 1st. Time is flying by and barely moving at the same time. 2020 is weird, ya'll. Anywho, this first read was my favorite of the month and I'm nearing the end of a LONG one we'll get to talk about next month. What was your favorite read of November?

⭐⭐⭐⭐

The Museum of Extraordinary Things is hands down my favorite Alice Hoffman read so far. It had the was magical and quirky but still new how to break my heart in places. The way you watch the character shift, and grow, and learn is truly extraordinary. Hoffman keeps the extraordinary ordinary with seemingly little effort. Beautiful, beautiful, story.

⭐⭐⭐.5

Dash & Lily's Book of Dares made it onto my TBR because of the Netflix series. I HAD to read the book first, and I'm glad I did. It'd a quick and easy read to get you in the holiday mood. The TV series is just different enough that if you've already seen it you can still read the book. The best part about it is that the storyline is clever.

⭐⭐⭐

If domestic suspense is your jam; then When I Was You, is definitely for you. It's so twisty and turns down to the last two sentences. Yes some of these twists are predictable, but some definitely are not. Grandma Mary, if you're reading this-I think you would like this one.
