My Year in Books – Quarter Two 2020

Welcome back. Hope you are all still well. Time to count down my second quarter reads and what a list I have. It’s only when you start looking backwards that you realise what you managed to achieve and I must have been on something in this period as, for me at least, this list is huge. I think that at this point in lockdown, covid-fatigue had still to hit and I know that I was definitely helped by being able to get out for a daily walk as I listened to a lot more audio books than I have in some time. But still … This post seemed to take an age to prepare. So many covers to save. Which covers, you ask? Well here they are.

Yep. That really is 56 books. In three months. 56!!! I hadn’t managed that in a couple of years and certainly haven’t managed it since. But, wow. How many have you read? Any favourites in amongst these? I love these kinds of posts as it gives me a chance to reminisce over titles read and prepare myself for whatever delights the authors are offering us next. What a quarter!!!

See you tomorrow.
