What are your favorite books/audiobooks that you read in 2020?
I am doing a best post with Carole, but then there are so many books that I do want to mention besides the ultimate best of. I will save 3 of those until our post! Stay tuned!
A dangerous Collaboration by Deanna Raybourn
The best Veronica book so far. I could not put it down!
Kings of the Wyld by Nicholas Eames
Cool fantasy with a bunch of older guys going on one last adventure.
Alpha Night by Nalini Singh
It gave me ALL the feels!
Beneath the Sugar Sky by Seanan McGuire
The lightest in the series, fun!
The rage of Dragons by Evan Winter
A really slow start, did not almost make it cos of that. But the last half was just so freaking epic
Sing, unburied, sing by Jesmyn Ward
Just really good prose!
Artificial condition by Martha Wells
It was just great fun! Sadly this one was the best of all I the ones I read
The Crossing Places by Elly Griffits
The book that led me on my 12 book long obsession this fall!
The silence of the girls by Pat Barker
Beautiful, sad and haunting
I also re-read the beginning of The Wheel of time by Robert Jordan, epic as always!
And book 6 and 7 of The Others by Anne bishop, great listen.
And that was it :D I read some great books, I listened to many more. My ultimate best of is coming up and I will also do a stats post later on.
I haven't heard many of these but I did tried to read one of the Murderbot books but sadly, I couldn't get into it. I don't think Martha Wells' writing style is to my liking.
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a lovely 2021.
I hear you, this was the best one, then not so much. I also tried a fantasy by her and so not for me
DeleteLove Veronica Speedwell and the next book is on my historical favs list. Yep, Alpha Night, too! :)
ReplyDeleteShe is the best!!!!
DeleteLooks like you read some good ones.
ReplyDelete:)
DeleteI think that the Veronica Speedwell series gets better with every book. I need to get back to Murderbot soon.
ReplyDeleteIt really does
DeleteI do love Veronica Speedwell so much. I am surprised you only have Elly Griffiths book on this list!! :-)
ReplyDeleteWell, I mean I could not go all crazy ;) It is all implied that they ALL ROCK
DeleteMurderbot is awesome, and Kings of the Wyld is awesome! And I am going to get to The rage of Dragons, hopefully soon.
ReplyDeleteSlow beginning, I do warn you, but then you might love that
DeleteLove combing through your list for books I will find epic, too. I've only read two of those and I remember your reviews on several others that I added to my list.
ReplyDeleteI used to mention like a million, but I have calmed down ;)
Delete:D good picks m'am!
ReplyDelete:D
DeleteSugar Sky was deceptively light, at least in a way. It had a strong message and my favourite Wayward Children heroine so far - I mean, a plus-size swimmer/mermaid who isn't a compulsive eater? (not that such a character wouldn't deserve their own book, but I liked how McGuire subverted a trope here).
ReplyDeleteLight in some ways yes, more so than the darker ones. And all that fluffy candy :D But yes she does manage to still put in so much more
DeleteI haven't read any of these (yet). I just started reading Nalini Singh's Psy-Changling series and am really enjoying it. Oh and I have read the first Others book. I need to really catch up on that series!
ReplyDeleteIt just gets better, The Others
DeleteAnd I really want to try the psy from the start again
