My Year in Books
This year was, to say the least, unusual. I did less reading than normal, mostly because the loss of my theatre job meant that I lost my audiobook-listening time in the car.
You can see my pattern of reading. I started out inhaling Hollywood memoirs, then took a side road with some borderline political bios. When I got back into a regular reading routine, it was very spiritually motivated. Then onward to politics/psychology and finishing up with some uplifting inspiration.

I’d love to see your list for the past year. What was your favorite book that you read in 2020?
You read more widely than I do. I read only clean fiction–romance and romantic suspense. I didn’t keep a list of favorites, but my favorite author is Irene Hannon–in spit of the fact that she refers to “irises” instead of “eyes,” and almost alway has a red-headed heroine who has green eyes and wears a green silk blouse and black pencil skirt. 😉 Her suspense line in her books is always awesome.
Hugs and Happy New Year.
I enjoy Irene Hannon’s books too. I haven’t read enough to have noticed that red-haired, green-eyed pattern, but I will now! I always think of you when I read the word “irises,” since you pointed that one out to me.
Have a Happy and Blessed New Year, Sylvia!
