I am so happy that 2020 is over. May 2021 bring us abundant blessings!
I read 59 books in 2020. 50 were fiction, 9 were non-fiction (a pretty good number for me, and even more surprisingly, 4 of them are in these lists!). This year is a very easy choice for my top book of the year that I read and I predicted it after I read it.
However, there were 19 books that I rated as very good:
Before and After-Judy Christie & Lisa Wingate
The Revisioners-Margaret Wilkerson Sexton
Dear Edward-Ann Napolitano
The Secrets We Kept-Laura Prescott
Disappearing Earth-Julia Phillips
The Overstory-Richard Powers
The Zahir-Paul Coelho
The Immortalists-Chloe Benjamin
Rebecca-Daphne Du Maurier
Rebecca’sTale-Sally Beauman
A Mercy-Toni Morrison
The Book of Lost Friends-Lisa Wingate
The Vanishing Half-Brit Bennett
Normal People-Sally Rooney
The Color of Water-James McBride
Talking to Strangers-Malcolm Gladwell
Jack-Marilyn Robinson
The Extraordinary Life of Sam Hell-Robert Dugoni
Almost Everything-Anne Lamott
Help, Thanks, Wow-Anne Lamott
You can't go wrong with those! All were very good reads! But the next category is the four books that I rated as great:
The Nickel Boys-Colson Whitehead
A Place for Us-Fatima Farkeen Mirza
The World We Knew-Alice Hoffman
This Is Happiness-Niall Williams
And the book of the year for me was the one that I rated as excellent:
A Little Life-Hanya Yanagihara: A devastatingly beautiful book!!
