Hello everyone and Happy New Year!!
I hope 2021 is better for all of us in every aspect.
Today I want to share with you all the books that I loved in 2020 aka my Favourite reads of the year. They are 17 books in total and it's roughly one book for every month but there are the necessary exceptions of course.
Without further ado let's see those books. They are in the order that I have read them and I will link to the corresponding book review if there is one up.
The Starless Sea by Erin Morgenstern
Read in January 2020
Rating: 4 Stars
I was expecting a lot from this book and thankfully it didn't disappoint. The reviews on this one are controversial but I liked it. I loved the way Erin Morgenstern writes.
There will be a review pretty soon. Actually towards the end of this month.
The Left hand of Darkness by Ursula K. LeGuin
Read in February 2020
Rating: 4 Stars
This is the first Le Guin book I read and I really enjoyed it. It's a SF political thriller that turns to an adventure as the story goes. The book has a dynamic plot and a good character development too.

The Shadows Between Us by Tricia Levenseller

I loved this book! It's a five star read for me and I highly recommend it.
Many people describe it as a Slytherin romance and I couldn't agree more with those characters.

The Last Wish (The Witcher #0.5) by Andrzej Sapkowski
Read in May 2020
Rating: 5 Stars
I knew these books existed but before the Netflix TV show I have never thought of them. Now after reading the first one, which is a collection of short stories that somehow are connected together, I am hooked.

The Assassin's Blade (Throne of Glass #0.1 - 0.5) by Sarah J. Maas
Read in June 2020
Rating: 4 Stars
This is the first time I read anything from Sarah J. Maas and after reading The Assassin's Blade, I think I should have done it earlier. I really enjoyed reading the backstory of Celaena and I cannot wait to read more.

Where Dreams Descend (Kingdom of Cards #1) by Janella Angeles
Read in August 2020
Rating: 4 Stars
Where Dreams Descend is full of magic!
I really enjoyed reading this book and I practically devoured it. It is well-written fast-paced and the action starts from the beginning.
It's a fun and at the same time dark story with some mysterious characters.

Girl, Serpent, Thorn by Melissa Bashardoust
Read in August 2020
Rating: 4 Stars
I didn't expect to like this one, but I really did like it. It's kind of a retelling of a Persian myth and it reads like a real fairytale. The story is perfectly structured and well-paced.
