So 2020 is over… what a year it was and will always be remembered as “unprecedented” to me too.
Under the circumstances, I thought I might have read a few more books, but it seems there really never is enough time!
I managed 62 books this year which I am still very impressed with. Some have been quite sizeable too – 1Q84 is actually a trilogy and 928 pages – and I’ve also listened to a few books on audible which is a new habit for me now I’m regularly dog walking!
Anyway, here’s the list! Happy reading x

That’s quite a list! I’m tempted to add a few of those to my list this year. Currently, I’m reading Barak Obama’s new biography ‘Promise Land’.
Great list! I love the diversity. A couple on there that I will look to read this year. Always happy to receive any of your recommendations.
