As 2020 winds down, I thought it would only be fitting to take a look back at my year in books. Oh what a year it has been. The Kindle Paperwhite that my husband gifted me last Christmas has been well used. I don't think a day goes by that I don't use it. Which is also why it has to be charged every 5 days or so.
For my stats, I have been utilizing Goodreads for the entire year, so that keeps track of my quantity of books, my average rating, and also lets me know how many pages I have read this year. One of the questions below is most read genre. I think it's safe to say there is one genre that has dominated the year, but we'll get to that in a bit.
The first book that I read in 2020 was Green Tea Latte to Go by Aven Ellis. It is such a cute rom-com, and of course it has an HEA. Picture it a blogger and a veterinarian for exotic animals. Although the pig may steal the show. 😉
- Grip by Kennedy Ryan
- Little Lies by H. Hunting
- Securing Kalee by Susan Stoker
- The Last Letter by Rebecca Yarros
- Southern Sunrise by Natasha Madison
In no particular order:
- Aven Ellis
- Natasha Madison
- Kennedy Ryan
- Helena Hunting
- Piper Rayne
- Susan Stoker
Should we talk sub-genre? If so it's probably sports romance (hockey is the winner), with military being a close second.
Let's name some names, shall we.
- Southern Sunrise by Natasha Madison
- Grip and Still by Kennedy Ryan
- The Last Letter by Rebecca Yarros
- Ridden Hard by Kim Loraine
- and many many more
- Stud in the Stacks by Pippa Grant
- Kiss my Cupcake by Helena Hunting
- Royal Icing by Aven Ellis
- A Favor for a Favor by Helena Hunting
- InstaCrush by Kate Meader
- Corrigan & Co by Crystal Perkins
- Southern by Natasha Madison
- Seal of Protection by Susan Stoker
- Brides of Chance Creek by Cora Seton
- The Baileys by Piper Rayne
I would also like to complete the yearly reading challenge that Paige from Creating & Co hosts. It is 24 prompts, and it might require me to read a little outside my usual. That is completely fine though. I tried the PopSugar Reading Challenge this year, and did okay. The prompts for next year though I cannot make work for me, and I know if I push myself too much it will lead to a reading slump. So I'm skipping PopSugar for 2021.
My last goal is in regards to this space here, as well as my socials. It is my goal to post three times per week here on What Laura's Reading. My Facebook goal is once a day, whether that is sharing a meme or posting a blog post, or a crossover from Instagram. My Instagram goal is 3 photos a week at a minimum. If that all becomes too much though, I will drop Instagram.
Tell me about how your reading went this year! Also, what are your reading goals for 2021?
Happy Reading,
