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.

A ROYAL MURDER

  SYNOPSIS At the royal boat race there are beautiful barges, plenty of bunting, a handsome prince and… is that a body in the water? Lady Swift is on the case! Spring, 1923. One-time adventurer and now amateur sleuth Lady Eleanor Swift is attending the annual royal regatta with her new pal Tipsy Fitzroy. Tipsy has Eleanor trussed up like a debutante in a new dress, determined to turn her into a proper society lady. Even Eleanor’s favourite companion, Gladstone the bulldog, has a new outfit for the occasion. But the sparkling prize-giving ceremony is interrupted when the devilishly handsome host gulps his glass of champagne on stage and collapses to the floor. The victim is none other than the king’s cousin, Lord Xander Taylor-Howard. He was rumoured to be entangled in a rather dubious gambling ring, but did someone kill him instead of collecting his debt?
