MY READS 2020
2020 obviously gave all of us more time to read books (ha!). This year ended up being a big series-books year for me as I read or finished three or four series. I also discovered new authors whose other books I can't wait to read. I hope this list inspires you to find some new authors as well. Go and grab your next great read! Enjoy!

A Man Called Ove
by Fredrik Backman
This book was so good! Heartwarming, funny, unexpected, and expertly written. Excellent.
Astrophysics for People In a Hurry
by Neil deGrasse Tyson
deGrasse Tyson explains the oh-so-hard to understand field in a way that is accessible. Very good!
Brush of Wings
by Karen Kingsbury
I finished this three-book series and loved seeing the divine intervention to help the characters reach their ends.
Chasing Sunsents
by Karen Kingsbury
I started this series the year before and really enjoy the second book. I quickly loved the characters.
Forgiving What You Can't Forget
by Lysa Terkeurst
Lysa is so personal, which makes difficult subjects accessible. It was like having a great conversation with a friend.
Front Desk
by Kelly Yang
The author based some of the content on her own experiences. It was a great middle-school read with a lovable main character.
From the Desk of Zoe Washington
by Janae Marks
Great debut! This fun and sweet middle-school book was a feel good read that had me rooting for the main character.
Gods and Kings
by Lynn Austin
This is the first of a 5-book series based on the life of King Hezekiah and his heirs. It was so good! I couldn't put it down!
Her Daughter's Dream
by Francine Rivers
This is the second of a two-book series where Rivers takes the reader through six generations of women. Phenomenal!
Her Mother's Hope
by Francine Rivers
This is the first of a two-book series. River doesn't disappoint, taking the reader across continents and generations.
Outliers: The Story of Success
by Malcolm Gladwell
Interesting concept with much wisdom. This book makes you think and mull over the propositions. Very much enjoyed it.
Refugee
by Alan Gratz
This middle-grade book dealt with some very adult issues. It was an excellent read and expertly wove three very different families together.
Sense and Sensibility
by Jane Austen
A classic. It was fun following the Ms. Dashwood sisters and rooting them on in their coming-of-age quests.
Song of Redemption
by Lynn Austin
This is the second of the Chronicles of the Kings series, and I couldn't get enough. I read through all five books quickly!
Sulwe
by Lupita Nyong'o
One of the most touching books I read this year. Every little girl should read this as the issues addressed can come in many forms.
The Bait of Satan
by John Bevere
Ouch, ouch, and ouch! But in a good way! This is one that will help you grow and improve in your walk with Christ.
The Christmas Train
by David Baldacci
This feel good, warm-hearted Christmas story will keep you smiling while reading it. But the twist at the end kept me smiling days after I finished.
The 5 Love Languages
by Gary Chapman
A classic that doesn't get old. This may have been my third or fourth time reading it. Learn your love language and others' for better relationships.
The King of Kindergarten
by Derrick Barnes
Little one getting ready to start school? Get this book! Such an encouraging read by this well known children's author.
The Power of Habit
by Charles Duhigg
This book was an eye opener, even though the revelations were a little creepy. A definite read, and one that could help you conquer goals.
