2020 Top Ten Reads So Far

Hi, yes, can you believe 2020 is halfway over? How did we get to July? I feel like I’ve done nothing this year so far! Okay so that’s not entirely true but COVID-19 has really been cramping my travel plans and my social life! I’m only partly complaining because I’m an extrovert but also sort of excited that I’ve been able to constantly binge read book and not wear real clothes. Silver lining.

Between January and June 2020 I have read a ton of books, a grand total of 64 books to be exact. At this rate I’ll be almost 30 books over my 2020 goal, which is 100 books. In 2019 I didn’t even make my goal of 100 books, missing that by 7 books, so I’d say the first half of 2020 has been outstanding; reading wise at least.

Since we’re officially half way through the year though, I’m putting together my TOP TEN FAVORITES I’ve read so far. Not all of these are new releases but most of them came out this year. I have listed them in no particular order because well they’re all 5 STAR reads for different reasons and you can’t compare apples to oranges, if you know what I mean.
