I am naming 28 Summers by Elin Hilderbrand my favorite of the year but her other novels were major disappointments for me this year. She still remains my favorite author but I was so sad and disappointed with her other books this year

Congrats on hitting your goal!! I had such a hard time deciding my favorite books from 2020 too!!
ReplyDeleteGreat job on your reading goal!! I just recently (last month) started tracking all of the books I have read on Goodreads, so I’m not sure how books I have read this year! I am very excited for January, and to see how many books I’ll be able to squeeze in! Have a wonderful day, Holly!
ReplyDeleteThere are some books here that I definitely want to read, like Verity.

Great picks! 28 Summers and Eliza Starts a Rumor were such nice surprises.
ReplyDelete28 Summers made my list this year, even though I am not a read every Elin type of fan!
ReplyDeleteGreat job on surpassing your reading goal! I'm thinking of setting one next year; I never have in the past since I do read a lot and often think maybe I should read a little less. LOL. You have a few on here that I haven't read yet but did just add to my list.
ReplyDeleteLittle Fires Everywhere was excellent!
ReplyDeleteInteresting list - I don't think I've read any of those! Way to go on reaching and exceeding your goal. Thanks for sharing and happy new year :)
ReplyDeleteOh Holly I love to read too. I loved Little Fires Everywhere. The author is from Cleveland, Ohio (an hour from where I used to live) and therefore very familiar with the area which was cool. The Lies that Bind and Someone We Know were pretty good too!!! Love Elin Hildebrand, thanks for the heads-up. I just started After You by Jojo Moyes.
ReplyDelete@Jodi, let me know what you think of After You- I may add it to my list this year! :)
ReplyDeleteI also loved 28 Summers! Thanks for the reviews!
ReplyDelete28 Summers also made my top 5 fiction list! Looks like we have similar taste in books so I'm definitely adding a few I didn't previously have on my list.
ReplyDeleteI need to read 28 Summers. I don't normally love Elin Hilderbrand books but I've heard so many good things about this one.
