2020 Has been a tough year for us all but I must admit I have emerged myself into many fictional worlds to keep myself going. Books have really helped me get through it all. Nothing better than curling up with a book and a brew. So in no particular order here are the books that stood out to me this year. After reading 174 books this year (one was my daughters) this is my top 18 reads.

The 24 Hour Cafe – Libby Page.

Are You Watching? – Vincent Ralph.

Dead Lovely – Helen Fitzgerald.

Sleep – C.L. Taylor.

Circe – Madeline Miller.

Letters on Motherhood – Giovanna Fletcher.

The Flatshare – Beth O’Leary.

The Switch- Beth O’Leary.

Mix Tape – Jane Sanderson.

Sunny Days & Sea Breezes – Carole Matthews.

Aria’s Travelling Book Shop – Rebecca Raisin.

The Midnight Library – Matt Haig.

The Minders – John Marrs.

This is Me – Mrs Hinch.

And Every Morning the Way Home gets Longer & Longer – Fredrik Backman.

Have you read any of these? Got any suggestions for me next year? I hope you all have a lovely New Year & I will see you on the other side. That’s me done for 2020. Gemma – BTPBOOKCLUB.
