My 2018 Year in Books was one of the very first posts on the blog. Reading has been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. Some of my best memories are of my mom taking me to the library and letting me pick out as many books as I want or my dad pre-ordering the newest Harry Potter for me when Amazon was exclusively a book seller. Needless to say, these My Year in Books are one of my favorite posts to write.
Reflecting on year through the lens of what I was reading and when is such a beautiful and blessed perspective. Make sure you check out my 2019 post, too!
I reviewed Clap When You Land here.
In 2020, I read 32 books totaling 12,384 pages. One of my reading goals for 2020 was not to have any months were I didn’t finished a full book, and I’m happy to report that I achieved that goal, too!
