While I didn’t read as much as I had hoped, I did read some real gems!
I was on a constant struggle bus when it came to reading last year. I’m not sure what the root cause of it was, but thankfully it has been much easier to dive into books recently.
I thought I’d put together a post filled with all the books that I did manage to read. I truly enjoyed all of these, and hope that some of you will enjoy them as much as I did!
You can check all of these out on Amazon by clicking on the titles of each book.
Girl, Wash Your Face by Rachel Hollis
I found this book to be so inspiring and helpful! I talked a little bit about it in my review on this post back in March of last year.
The Power of Heart by Amy Bloch, M.D.
The Power of Heart was such a great read. I highly recommend it! You can check out my in-depth review of it right here.
No Offense by Meg Cabot
I have been a Meg Cabot fan since her Princess Diaries days, and her newest books do not disappoint! It was so fun to see the love story evolve, especially from something that seemed like they almost hated one another. Isn’t that the way it goes?
Big Summer by Jennifer Weiner
I loved this book – such a fun book with some unexpected twists. Perfect summer read!
No Judgements by Meg Cabot
While this isn’t a sequel to No Offense, they do have some shared characters and it takes place in the same town, Little Bridge Island. I loved this book so much. Two people fall in love unexpectedly, and it just happens to be in the middle of a hurricane, haha.
To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before by Jenny Han
A very sweet, easy read. I actually don’t plan on reading any of the sequels soon, but I thought the book was good. I think I got a little sad about the storyline with the momma having passed away, so that sort of got in the way of me enjoying it more.
After by Anna Todd
I watched the movie back in 2019 and really loved it! So I wanted to read the books for awhile, but just got around to it late last year. The book is by far better and per usual, so much more detailed. It’s a big book, but I really enjoyed it and have already read the second one (I’ll talk about it in an upcoming post on books I’m reading this January/February 2021).
The Voting Booth by Brandy Colbert
I was so happy to win this book! It was such a timely read, as it was smack-dab in the middle of the presidential election. I enjoyed it very much and I loved that it had a sweet little love story in addition to talking about the importance of voter suppression.
I hope you enjoyed this quick list of the books I read in 2020, friends. Let me know in the comments if you’ve read any of these books, and what you’re currently reading!

That’s what truly matters, my friend! I always enjoy reading your book recaps!
This is quite a list. I need to read more this year! I’ve wanted to read Girl, Wash Your Face, so I have to read your review now:) Have you watched the To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before movies? The third one is coming out in February, and I have to say I can’t wait. I love the movies so much!
Have a great weekend Ashley.

I have only seen pieces of the first movie, but it looked really cute! I think I’d love the movies a little more than the books, even though I’m usually backwards on that note, haha. I hope you’re having a fantastic weekend, friend!
I read 50 books the past year I plan to read 80 books this 2021
Interesting selection by the way

Wow, what a HUGE accomplishment, friend! That is amazing!
Good job, I definitely did not read as much as I wanted to last year. I am happy to say that I am off to a much better start this year!

Thank you! I’m so happy to hear you’re off to a great start this year. 🙂
These sounds like interesting books! it’s good you enjoyed reading them! 🙂 I really got into reading last year as my neighbour started up a virtual book club with the pandemic! I’ve been reading a lot more since, hoping this year to read more than I did last year! 🙂
Hope that you are having a good weekend 🙂 Another hot one here!
Aww, that’s awesome! I think that would really help me to keep up with reading, plus just being able to talk about it afterwards would be so fun. 🙂
I’m dreaming of hot weather, my friend, haha! It’s winter here in Ohio and we are expecting some snow again this evening. Wishing you the most fantastic weekend!
Thanks for sharing this great inspiration! “Girl Wash Your Face” has been on my reading list for a while, so I’m going to read your review!

Thanks you for sharing with us all the books you read in 2020. I’m always looking forward for new books to add to my list.
When I was younger I used to love any Meg Cabot books. I didn’t know she was still a really active writer.

Ah these all sound great light fun reading for the most part. Right now I am reading a book about the art movement in mid 19th century Paris. It is very interesting!

I’m so happy you loved the list, Mariann! 🙂 I bet it would be a very interesting book!
Reading at least one book a month is one of my resolutions for this year. I love reading and love these recommendations! The only one I have ready on this list is the one by Rachel Hollis.
That’s a great resolution, Katie! Hope you’ll enjoy some of the others if you pick up any of those books. 🙂

I hope you’ll enjoy them, my friend!
Haven´t read anything from Meg Cabot for years but I used to love her so much!!
I read the after series a few years ago and liked it, but a few weeks ago I started with Anna Todds new book series “the brightest stars” and they sadly aren´t worth the hype!
have an amazing weekend,
Tiziana

I think you would love her new ones, too! Ooh, I haven’t heard of that series, but I will definitely check it out! Wishing you a wonderful weekend, Tiziana! 🙂
I have struggled a lot this past year as well with focus for reading books. I loved Girl, Wash Your Face and Jennifer Weiner is always a fun read! Thanks for sharing your reviews and thoughts on these books!

I really need to reread Girl, Wash Your Face. I thought it was so good 🙂

It was a great one! 🙂 I can definitely see myself re-reading it in the future someday.
These books sound like fun reads! I need to read “To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before”. I’ve heard such great things about it. I read so much more in 2020 and I really want to keep it up in 2021 so I will definitely be adding these books to my list 🙂

That is awesome, I’m so happy you got a bunch of reading in last year! I hope you find lots of books that you’ll love this year. It’s definitely a cute book. 🙂
I love reading these book recommendations because they always bring me something new. I’ve read about this ‘girl wash your face’ book, I will check out the review (btw I clicked the link to Amazon, but it doesn’t seem to be working, just FYI.).
I have recently finished Memoirs of a Geisha and I really enjoyed it. Have you heard of it?
Hi, Ana! I love reading them for the very same reason, too. 🙂 Oh, thank you so much for letting me know! I went in and updated the links, and I believe they are working properly now. I appreciate you so much!
That’s awesome! I have heard of it, but have never read it. I will have to add it to my list!
Thanks for sharing all of this. Definitely adding to my list!
Aww, thanks for reading, Mariann! That sounds awesome! 🙂
