It has been an amazing year for books and I only wish I had read more. However, one of my projects for 2020 is to set aside more time to appreciate the work of other authors.
These are the books that I have enjoyed and reviewed over the last twelve months and I hope that you will head over and check out the reviews and add them to your own reading list for 2020.
I have many more on my TBR that I am going to be working on over the holidays and I aim to write a weekly review in 2020.
If you click on the links they will take you to my review and buy links for the books.. thanks Sally
