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!

  1. 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.

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

After crossing from England on the SS Celestiana, Lady Eleanor Swift sets up her home-away-from-home in a lavish apartment in New York City.

MURDER AT THE BEAUTY PAGEANT

SYNOPSIS Spring, 1935. Newlywed Kitty Underhay has been enlisted by her old nemesis Mrs Craven to help organise the Miss Dartmouth Jubilee pageant at the Dolphin Hotel. Being bossed around by her arch enemy is not quite what Kitty had in mind for the start of her married life, but she’s excited to launch the glamorous show. Sparkling smiles are quickly replaced by audible gasps however, when one of the girls goes missing during the interval… When pretty Peggy Blaine is discovered dead, Kitty can’t help but notice that none of the other contestants seem particularly shocked. Can jealousy over a sash and a diamante tiara be a motive for murder? But when she discovers the threatening notes the young women have received, Kitty enlists her husband Matt to figure out who’s scaring the competitors. However, before Matt can speak to them, another entrant turns up dead after an apparently accidental overdose. Taking part in a beauty pageant seems to have turned into a fatal occupation! The dari

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:    - Mystery/Suspense/Thriller (medical, legal, cozy... if there's a dead body, I'm in. Not for nothing I'm a medical examiner myself)    - Conte
