My top 5 reads of 2020
My Top 5 Reads of 2020!
Introduction:
2020 has been a crappy year for most people in one way or another, but it’s also been a year that’s given us a heck of a lot of time stuck inside. I don’t know about you, but this means that I got a ton of reading done during lockdown, and despite 2020 bringing a lot of shittyness, it DID bring some fabulous books into my life that i am super grateful for! So without further ado, i present my top 5 countdown reads of 2020!
Let’s begin!
Conclusion
To wrap up, all of these titles took my breath away, but none quite as completely as To Sleep In A Sea of Stars. From Runcible the Pig to Kira, The Soft Blade, and the crew of The Wallfish, i was hooked from the very beginning, and stayed that way until i turned the very last page. I stayed up far too late reading this book, and the jarring events of the first section were truly written masterfully and felt fully authentic. Christopher Paolini may have made us wait 9 years for his return to the publishing scene, but it was worth every second if this is what he produces when left to marinade with his wild imagination. There are so many books that didn’t make this list that could of, so if you want to see what else i’ve been reading and loving check out the recommended reads section of the blog for more top read lists and reviews on books which left me hungover as all hell. You might also consider stalking me on social media as i usually keep my followers posted on what i’m devouring bibliophile style!
I hope you have a fantastic holiday season, and also that the approaching year will be better for all of us!
Happy reading,

When I told my Barista, Jess, that I was looking for a long series to hold my attention, she was flabbergasted to discover I’d never read the Sookie Stackhouse novels, or seen the show True Blood, which is based off them. In between customers who had come in for their daily dose of Botany and Beans magic, she got up google and started showing me some of the ovary-busting hotness that is the male half of the True Blood cast. Colour me intrigued. I found myself downloading the first book there and then, right in the coffee shop. This is my review of the first instalment, Dead Until Dark.
