Favorite Reads of 2020 so far

Hello, reader friends! Due to a long list of reasons we won’t get into, our regularly scheduled favorite reads post for early 2020 was repeatedly trampled by my to-do list. Normally, we break the year up into three periods (early, mid, & late) and I share my highly anticipated and favorite titles read for those periods (find earlier favorites here). However, nothing about 2020 is normal, I haven’t even reviewed most of my favorite reads of 2020 so far but I can’t stop reading, it is essential for the preservation of my sanity (or at least the remnants of such)!

 

favorite reads of 2020 so far

 In no particular order (because my to-do list is breathing down my neck) and painstakingly narrowed down (so I can keep this to one post and you don’t have to scroll forever), here are January through June’s additions to my favorites-shelves! Some made me laugh, others made me cry, I was challenged and inspired, and y’all know me, I swooned a lot! Click the covers to learn more about each story and its author.
