My favourite books of 2020

Here is a list of the best books I have read so far in 2020. It was hard to choose since I loved all of them so much!

January: The Viking, by Marti Talbott

I read many amazing books in January 2020, but The Viking was by far the best one. I couldn’t stop reading it from the moment I opened it. What I liked the most about it was that I could really relate to the characters even though the story was set 700 years ago.

If you are looking for a thrilling Viking tale, you should definitely read it! You can find a review of the book here.

February: Pride and Prejudice, by Jane Austen

On February I read Jane Austen for the first time. It was amazing. At first I had a bit of trouble understanding some parts of the book, but I soon got used to her writing style. I must say the effort paid off because once I started reading her works I couldn’t stop until I had read all of them.

If you love romance novels, you should absolutely read this book! You can download it for free on Amazon.

March: I, Robot, by Isaac Asimov

This is the only science fiction book I’ve read so far this year. I had had it in my bookshelf for years until I finally decided to read it. I enjoyed every part of it. It made me wonder what would happen if machines were to become actually more powerful than humans.

I think the best thing about it is that you don’t need to be a science-fiction fan to enjoy this book. Here you can find a review!

April: Emma, by Jane Austen

On April I read Emma, Sense and Sensibility, and Mansfield Park. It was hard to pick only one book since I loved all of them so much!

I chose Emma because she is one of my favourite Austen’s characters. Though she may seem perfect, she is actually flawed in a way that makes her really relatable and authentic. As I read the book, I came to love and admire her very much.

If you like realistic romantic stories set in the nineteenth century, you should definitely read it! You can find a review of Emma here.

May: Northanger Abbey, by Jane Austen

I wasn’t lying when I said I couldn’t stop reading Jane Austen until I had read all of her works. On May I read the book which is now my favourite: Northanger Abbey.

I had such a good time reading this story! There were some parts where I just had to stop and say wow. I loved how I could really relate to Catherine, and I had so much fun reading about her adventures.

June: The Prince and the Pauper, by Mark Twain

The Prince and the Pauper is a great book. Set in London during the reign of the Tudor dynasty, it tells the story of two boys – Prince Edward VI and Tom Canty – who switch places due to their identical resemblances.

This is the kind of story that makes you think. Even though I found it a bit hard to read, I couldn’t put the book down until I had finished.

If you are a fan of historical fiction, you should definitely read it! You can find it on Amazon.

That’s all for now! I hope you liked my 2020 selection of books. Have you read any of them? Let me know in the comments!
