Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together. Each week, she will post a new Top Ten list topic for everyone to weigh-in on.

This Week
Favorite Books of 2020
I love love love recapping my favorite books of the year! I’m a sucker for NYE and NYD — I love the concept of a new beginning and starting fresh. I know it’s really just another day, another month, another year. But I’ve always found it to be a fun holiday and an excuse to celebrate, make new goals for yourself, reflect, and look ahead. It’s very refreshing. Though I did read a lot of new releases this year, I think it would be more fun to rate my favorite books read this year, no matter the date they were published. So check it out! I read some really amazing books in 2020!

1. Carry On by Rainbow Rowell
2. Nevernight by Jay Kristoff

I read and loved The Cruel Prince aaaaages ago, but haven’t read any of the sequels yet! That’s one of my 2021 goals because I am terrible for finishing series.
