2020 // Year in Books

Twenty twenty, oh boy. What a year. My reading journey for the year was all over the place. I started the year off strong, and then the pandemic hit and my mind couldn’t focus on anything other than the state of the world. Reading felt like something foreign and I would start and stop multiple books and couldn’t find my groove. I say this because if you found that this entire year was similar for you, I feel you! Once I started going back to the studio and the weather got nicer out, and my brain kind of slowed down and adjusted to the new normal, I found reading again. I loved having an escape from the reality of the world with a captivating book. Especially the ones I was so sucked in by that I finished them in a day. If you haven’t found reading again and hope to, maybe one of these books will be your catalyst! I hope this list serves as an inspiration to find something new to pick up, an author that’s new to you, or helps you to find your next favorite book! I’m also very proud to say all 45 books I read this year were by female authors! It wasn’t totally intentional at first, but it just shows those are my favorite writers! I found each of their voices to be exactly what I needed, when I did, and they all taught me so much, so I thank them all for that.
