MY TOP TEN BOOKS OF 2020


 

It's that wonderful time of the year when everyone does their lists of the best (insert here the kind of entertainment you want) of the year, and I couldn't be less. 

This year I broke my own record with 250 books read (thanks, lockdown!) and there're still two and a half weeks left, so it was hard to pick just ten. I've had lots of amazing reads, and even though some of these didn't get 5 ⭐  from me, they still managed to surprise me, shock me or most important thing, entertain me.

So, without farther ado, here are (in no particular order) my Top Ten books of 2020:


1. ONE BY ONE - Ruth Ware

2. GOODNIGHT BEAUTIFUL - Aimee Molloy

3. GIRL GONE MAD - Avery Bishop

4. THE NIGHT SWIM - Megan Goldin

5. EUDORA HONEYSETT IS QUITE WELL, THANK YOU - Annie Lyons

6. DEAR EMMIE BLUE - Lia Louis

7. PLAYING NICE - JP Delaney

8. THE LION'S DEN - Katherine St. John

9. THE LAST FLIGHT - Julie Clark

10. SHE HAS A BROKEN THING WHERE HER HEART SHOULD BE - J.D. Barker


And although not published in 2020, I read them this year and both of them knocked me off my feet, so honorable mention to

MY LOVELY WIFE - Samantha Downing

THE KIND WORTH KILLING - Peter Swanson



Wishing you all a 2021 full of wonderful books... HAPPY READING!

    I still haven't read your #1! I need to do that...soon!
    I also need to read Girl Gone Mad...and the really long JD Barker book.
    I'll get to all those soon, hopefully.

    Overall, though, my list would definitely be similar.

      Thank you, Susan! We gotta find some more buddy reads now that we have no more Ruth Ware’s books 😅

HELLO, IT’S ME!

  I was wondering if after all these years you'd like to read... MY BRAND NEW BLOG! (Look at me plagiarazing   drawing inspiration from Adele for my very first entry).                                                               She approves! So, if you're here reading this...THANK YOU for tuning in! For those who don't know me my name is Javier and after more than a year writing reviews on sites as Goodreads and NetGalley I decided to create my own blog to share my love of books with the world. When I first started writing reviews I was not able to put two sentences together, but as I kept writing I realized I had lots to say about the books I read. Rest assured my reviews will always be honest (no problems here telling when I don't like something) and spoiler free (I hate spoilers!). My personal preferences are:...

ONE BY ONE

SYNOPSIS Snow is falling in the exclusive alpine ski resort of Saint Antoine, as the shareholders and directors of Snoop, the hottest new music app, gather for a make or break corporate retreat to decide the future of the company. At stake is a billion-dollar dot com buyout that could make them all millionaires, or leave some of them out in the cold. The clock is ticking on the offer, and with the group irrevocably split, tensions are running high. When an avalanche cuts the chalet off from help, and one board member goes missing in the snow, the group is forced to ask - would someone resort to murder, to get what they want? Title: One by One Author: Ruth Ware Publisher: Harvill Secker Publication date: November 12, 2020 REVIEW RATING: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ruth Ware has been described as “the Agatha Christie of our generation” and that has never been truer than in “One by one”.
