Probably should’ve posted this before posting my January spread post... oh well 🤷‍♀️

Although 2021 is not starting off super strong for my reading (possible reading slump maybe... hopefully not), I will say that one thing I was definitely grateful for in 2020 was the time it had given me to fall back in love with some of my favourite hobbies.

I used to read so much as a kid, but with high school it kinda became more of a chore rather than something I enjoyed. I would only read during my holiday breaks which wouldn’t really allow me to read that much. Then the pandemic happened and we ended having a three month quarantine and that gave me the opportunity to read some amazing books I had for so long and discover so many more.

I ended being able to read a grand total of 113 books. Funnily enough, when the year had first started, I had already decided that I would try to at least read one book a week, so I had set my goal to 52 books for 2020. I guess I definitely achieved my goal in the end 😂.

Those 113 books translated to 37,841 pages read. My longest book ended up being 662 pages long, but overall most of my books were within the 300 to 400 page gap, so not too bad.

Some of my favourites of 2020:

- Victoria Aveyard’s Red Queen series

- Renee Collins’ Until We Meet Again

- Emily Suvada’s This Mortal Coil trilogy

- Lisa Maxwell’s The Last Magician

- Sarah Ahiers’ Assassin’s Heart

- Ann Aguirre’s The Immortal Game trilogy

- Karen White, Beatriz Williams, Lauren Willig’s The Forgotten Room

Some of these were rereads and others were new discoveries and I couldn’t be more glad I had the chance to read these amazing works.
