It’s that time of the year again where I catalogue all the books I read in the previous year. I like to track my yearly reading list here, and then every year I make a post of all the books I read the previous year. I’m a little bit behind this year, but better late then never right?

Despite all the spare time I had, 2020 was not a good reading year for me. In fact, it was my worst reading year since 2015. But we all survived 2020 in different ways. With everything else going on I found my reading motivation low and instead turned to hiking and baking to keep my spirits up. That said, I did still read 63 books in 2020, which is still a huge success. I wrote less reviews than usual and lost my motivation to write special interest posts (I didn’t even do a top books of 2020 blog!), but I’ve still be plugging along and have been a lot more engaged to date in 2021.
