Books I've Read so far in 2020



Every year I set a GoodReads goal, and (sadly) those goals seem to be getting smaller and smaller as I just don't have enough hours in the day. Now with the current environment and covid-19 pandemic, I don't want to watch TV or scroll on social media, so I have been reading up a storm. 
Here is what I've read for the first 5 months in 2020.

1.  Red, White & Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston
5 out of 5 Stars!
Royals, Romance, what more do you need?



2.  Full Circle: From Hollywood to Real Life and Back Again by Andrea Barber
4 out of 5 Stars
I enjoyed Andrea's honesty about her struggles with anxiety, a very relatable read. 


3. The Royal We by Heather Cocks & Jessica Morgan
4.5 out of 5 Stars!
Are you seeing a trend here? I love royal romances, and the sequel (The Heir Affair) comes out this July!


4. Virgin River by Robyn Carr 
4 out of 5 Stars
Like most people I devoured the Netflix series Virgin River, so when I found out it was based on a book series, I knew I had to read it!


5. All Your Perfects by Colleen Hoover
5+ Stars!
This is a contender for my top favorite book of 2020! Colleen Hoover is an amazing author and this romance novel is heartfelt and moving. 



6. I'll Give You the Sun by Jandy Nelson 
4 out of 5 Stars
I read this as part of Bad on Paper's book club, and to be honest, I wasn't sold on the description. But once I started reading, I was drawn in to this beautiful world.


7. Open Book by Jessica Simpson
5 Stars!
I was a big Jessica Simpson fan (Newlyweds anyone?), so I was dying to get my hands on this one. Jessica really bares her soul and spills some much need past relationship tea.


8. The Selection (Books 1-5) by Kiera Cass 
5 Stars
This book had been on my To Read list for a while, and I decided to read it after hearing Bad on Paper's rave reviews. Perfect for dystopian, Bachelor and royal fans!


9. The Unhoneymooners by Christina Lauren 
5 out of 5 Stars!
I had been a fan of Christina & Lauren since reading Beautiful Bastard, and The Unhoneymooners was just what I needed! This book is hilarious and fun and perfect to lift your pandemic mood. Highly recommend!!


10. Twice in a Blue Moon by Christina Lauren 
3 out of 5 Stars
After The Unhoneymooners I was on a Christina Lauren kick! Twice in a Blue Moon was very sweet.


11. The Honey-Don't List by Christina Lauren 
4 out of 5 Stars
The Christina Lauren trend continued! HGTV Fans this one's for you! DIY + Romance!


12. Maybe Someday by Colleen Hoover 
5+ Stars!
This is HANDS DOWN the best book I've read this year (and maybe last year)! It's so sweet and beautifully written. I must read the entire series!


Currently I am reading Someday, Someday, Maybe by Lauren Graham (and re-binge watching Gilmore Girls). What are you reading? Do you have any suggestions for what I should read next? Let me know in the comments below.
