I have never consistently tracked my reading before now, but after using a book journal I was shocked to find out that I read 65 books in 2020.
Out of those, I’m sharing my top 10 picks of the year (5 fiction + 5 non-fiction) and my reading goals for 2021.
December proved to be a solid month of reading for me!
I read 7 books which were a mix of non-fiction and thrillers/suspense/mystery. I didn’t branch out as much this month in terms of genre, but I had some my favorite reads of the year!
Let’s dive in..

This month was a whirlwind of reading for me! I give all the credit to the OverDrive app which allows you to borrow eBooks and audiobooks from your local library using your library card. If you’re not using it yet, you are seriously missing out! It’s my new obsession.
