2020 in books!
I read a little less than 2019 but I had an interesting.
As you can see from the picture, I loved most of the
books I read and I can’t do a short list of my preferred list, it would be too
difficult! So, I decided to write a little about the books I was more connected.
I read mostly fiction, but I enjoyed a few nonfiction books;
I really loved Elie Wiesel All rivers run to the sea, reading about his life was
a big help for me during this year so unpredictable and stressful, another non-fiction
book that I found interesting and eye-opener was Just Mercy by Bryan Stevenson.
I started also reading President Barack Obama A Promise Land memoir, but I didn’t
finish yet (I am almost halfway).
I discovered Charles Lenox Mysteries by Charles Finch, I like
the Victorian Age description and the main character is very likeable. Another
discover was Sulari Gentill, I think her book After She Wrote Him is a real
gem, and a fascinating mystery, very unconventional.
I read a couple of books about Artemisia Gentileschi, I have
to say I liked better Blood, water, paint but what I liked the most about them was
that I ended up looking for Artemisia paintings I learned a little about her
works.
I want to mention two books quite different: Dear Edward by
Ann Napolitano and Broken People by Sam Lansky.
Finally, at the beginning of 2020 I set a book challenge: I
wanted to read 48 books with a series of “rules” of my choice, I was inspired by
other challenges I saw on a Facebook reading group. I tried to complete the challenge
but, at the certain point I realized that I was stretching a little too much my
rules and I didn’t enjoy so much to read a book just because I had to complete
a challenge.
For 2021 I hope to continue to enjoy reading and to finish 52
books!
