Books I Have Read In 2020

 Books I Have Read In 2020


This year is quickly drawing to a close.  I am excited to say I have read more this year than I have in many years which is one reason I started this blog.  I love to read, and why not enjoy reading and discussing fiction and nonfiction on my very own blog?  To redirect this discussion back to the topic, however....

Here is a list of what I have read so far in 2020:

 And the  Nancy Drew Series Books by Carolyn Keene I've read this year:

Looking back, I've read more books this year than I thought I would.  I've met lots of new characters and went on new adventures in many new lands.  With a cup of coffee in hand and my kids beside me with their own books or sharing a read aloud, it has been an amazing book filled year.  And the year is not over yet.  I'm looking forward to making the most of my reading time in November and December.


*These were my favorite books this year.

**This book is special because it recommends MORE delightful books to read.  I've already read some of her suggestions and they've  been great!

Love Comes Softly by Janette Oke

Even though I read this book a long time ago, it was still a joy to re-read it.  Once I got started I couldn't put it down. ...
