“Reading gives us someplace to go when we have to stay where we are.” ~ Mason Cooley
To all the authors whose stories saved me this year, and especially those who wrote my favorites below, you've earned my highest esteem, gratitude, and adoration. Thank you!
As I haven't discovered a better way of expressing the following, I shall repeat what I said in previous years...
The books I select as my favorites each year are those that: I get lost in; the ones that while reading, I lose all track of time; the ones that evoke the strongest emotions; the ones that make me laugh, cry, blush, gasp, and sigh. Yeah, those books!
Each year I meticulously review my database and Goodreads shelves to select my favorites. Even though I arbitrarily decide upon the categories, I am careful in considering which books deserve each designation.
Sadly, no matter how much I love a book, I am unable to recall details. In other words, although my devotion is clear, my memory is not. I would, indeed, like to attempt to explain my choices to anyone who may be interested.
There are several books that were published this year that I wanted to read but was unable to, some of which were published late in the year. I may have to make an exception for some of them and include them in a future list, just as I made an exception this year for one book (*) that was published in 2017.
I'll be starting out 2021 with well over 250 books on my to-be-read shelves—primary and secondary—and nearly 100 books on my library wish list. I've chosen The Searcher by Tana French as the first read to begin in 2021 and set my Goodreads Challenge goal at 220 books.
My 2020 Stats
My Goodreads Challenge total was 247 (first reads and rereads of single titles).
My database total was 218 (first reads only and book bundles are counted as a single title).
(Note: I receive no monetary compensation. I only wish to show my appreciation. The book links below open up to the corresponding Webpages on Amazon.com or Audible.com.)

Wow! Another fantastic year-end reading summary. Very thorough. I have enjoyed reading the Stillhouse Lake series by Rachel Caine (RIP). I’ve read 4 of her 5-book series and am waiting for the fifth one, which is due for posthumous release on 09 Mar 2021. All were available for me to read on Kindle Unlimited. Thank you, Virginia, for suggesting this book series to me.
Thanks for the wonderful comment, Sistah! I had been following Rachel Caine (real name Roxanne Conrad) on Twitter for several years. She succumbed to cancer on 01 Nov 2020. She was dedicated to her craft and continued writing even while fighting one of the bravest battles imaginable. Her family, friends, and associates wrote touching tributes to her here: https://preview.mailerlite.com/x6r7e1
~Rest in Peace, Rachel/Roxanne~
Thanks for the extra information on Rachel/ Roxanne. I will especially think of her and her heroic battle to finish writing her final book while I am reading it.
The sheer number of books you read never fails to amaze me, V. I'm very glad you have something to keep you happy and your mind occupied, and you do such a great job of keeping them all organized!
I wonder if I could make one small suggestion though? And it might just be me...but I'm finding the purple on black color difficult to read here. A couple of times I had to highlight the titles just to make them clearer. I know you love purple but I wonder if a different color--or at least lighter shade?--might prevent this problem. But again, it might just be me.
Cyn, I certainly hope 2021 is a better year for you in all respects but also, of course, in regards to reading.
I have lightened the purple links as you suggested. I hope it's helpful. :)
