And there you have it, the completed list of books that I’ve read in 2020. Not quite the 60 I was aiming for, and exactly the same amount I read in 2019. So we’ll see how 2021 goes! It’s funny, I was reading in bed on NYE and I thought to myself, ‘Three more books, and you’ve got it!’ and then five minutes later, realised what day it was and that no, I didn’t have enough days left in the year to make my target! Probably sums up 2020 in a nutshell, hehe!!
By my count, 43 of these authors are Aussie, and with 5 of them I read 2 of their books (I also read one international author twice).
I’m part-way through my first 2021 book and look forward to keeping you all updated with my Done and Dusted List here and on Instagram … don’t forget to check out and follow my Bookstagram page where you’ll find a post from me for each book read.
I hope that some of these books may motivate you to read a new genre, a new author, or to just read in general – it’s my favourite way to relax.
