My 2020 Reading List

As an author I read a lot to say the least. So, I thought I would share my 2020 reading list. Some of yo may find this interesting and find something in here that you may like. Many are independently published Authors, as I currently am. This list does not include the hours of reading and research I do for my novels, that is a list I don’t keep.

This will suit people who like lists, basically anyone over 40 who is distracted by a bird flying past or something shiny.

And for those with OCD, the following is not in anyway alphabetical, numeric or in the order I read them. I will group them into general genre headings though. Good Luck.

That is, well a lot of books to read in one year, but as we know 2020 was not a normal year.

I normally average 20 to 30 books a year as a vague rule. I read mostly e-books now as the bookcases are over flowing and a house is normally where people live and trip over their dogs, not piles of books.

Where do I find the time? Like everything we do in life, no matter what it is, we make time.
