All the Books I Read in 2020

2020 was a weird year, and it felt like it flew by! Despite how fast it was I managed to read more in the year that shan’t be named than any other year. From young adult fiction, to important non-fiction reads, I read a real mixture this year. In total, I reached 71 books, which is over double the books I read in 2019! So let’s get into the books I read!

My 2020 Reading Stats

First things first, let’s go over some stats! So I read 39 standalone books, 2 rereads, and 30 books that were part of a series. In total, I read 23,804 pages – which is a lot!! This was the first year that I’ve really been into audiobooks and I listened to 16 of them! 26 of the books I read were physical and 29 were ebooks. I made a really conscious effort to borrow my ebooks and audiobooks from my online library, even if it meant waiting weeks for a book I wanted to read right then and there!

The Books I Read

If I were to write a long paragraph about every book we’d be here forever, so I’ll be giving a star rating to keep things simple! I have given more details on my top 10 books of 2020 in a post already so make sure you check that out after!

Phew, that was a lot of ratings! I’m hoping this year to be more on it with writing mini-reviews. I don’t know whether this will be a monthly or bi-monthly thing, but I’d like to be able to include at least a sentence review for all my books in 2021’s round up post!

What books did you read last year? What were your favourites? I’d love to know so leave a comment below!
