Books I read in 2020

So, if you know me, then you’ll know I’ve loved to read ever since I went with my parents on a missions trip when I was eleven. I liked when my parents would read to me or when I would listen to audiobooks before then, but sitting down and reading a book myself was somthing I never really enjoyed, until that summer of 2017. Since then I have loved reading and always set TBR (To Be Read) goals when a new year comes around. I wouldn’t say I’m a fast reader at all, it’s hard for me to just sit and read a book in one setting, but in 2020 I read just under 50 and came across some books that have made their way onto my Top Favorite Books Ever list! I hope to do more in depth posts on some of my favorites out of this list, but for now, if you’re looking for some good books to read, you can browse these and do some research of your own! 😋

I rated each book out of 5 stars, and also have in bold my top favorites out of the ones I read last year. A few of them also have some side notes too just to give you a little heads up before you go research the book to see if it’s one you’d read 🙂
