Hello, lovelies! Today, as you can see from the title of this post, I am here to share with you all 10 of my favorite books that I read in 2020. I will be doing my favorites a bit differently than I did last year. Last year, I made a few lists of my favorite books organized by genre. This year, I’m going to make a few lists but they will be my favorites organized by age range. So, today’s post will be my top twenty favorite (but not in any specific order because I’m a creature filled with indecision), and then over the next few weeks I’ll have more posts with my favorite books for each age range (middle-grade, young adult, and adult) and maybe some based on format (like audiobooks and graphic novels). Let’s get into today’s post! I’ll be linking my reviews, if I have one, so feel free to click through and see my full (spoiler free!) review of my favorite books.
The Scapegracers by Hannah Abigail Clarke
The Once and Future Witches by Alix E. Harrow
A Song Below Water by Bethany C. Morrow
Paola Santiago and the River of Tears by Tehlor Kay Mejia
The Space Between Worlds by Micaiah Johnson
The Starless Sea by Erin Morgenstern
Girl, Serpent, Thorn by Melissa Bashardoust
Mirage by Somaiya Daud
You Should See Me in a Crown by Leah Johnson
The How & the Why by Cynthia Hand
These are my top ten favorite books of 2020. Now, these are not all 2020 releases, but I read them all in 2020. These are some of the books that I just can’t stop thinking about even though I read them forever ago. Also, these are by no means my only favorite books I read last year, which is why I have more lists coming for each age range that I read. What books were your favorites of 2020?
Keep on reading lovelies, Amanda.
I feel likes AGES since I read The Starless Sea, I really want to re-read it. I need a new copy though, mine is a stupidly large Waterstones paperback.
I read it in August and it feels like ages since I read it too, hah. I definitely think I’ll try to reread this year so i can highlight and underline all my favorite things.
The last two were favorites of mine too. Thanks to Reese Witerspoon, Crown got a lot of deserved attention, but I wish The How & the Why got more buzz. It was phenomenal.
I totally agree! I’m happy that You Should See Me in a Crown is such a well loved book, but The How & the Why definitely deserves more attention.
Great list! I really need to read Girl, Serpent, Thorn!

Thank you! I hope you love it when you read it!
Such a good list!
thank you!!
One of my friends raves about The Starless Sea … She said she read it once; couldn’t believe how good it was; read it a second time just to be certain; and then read it a third because it was so amazing.
I’ve tried. I just can’t get over that introductory chapter. (WHAT IS HAPPPEEENNNING?!)
The chapter with the pirate? I wanted to reread it immediately, but I definitely think I’ll try to reread this year to highlight all my favorite lines.
Umm, the very first one – the intro chapter, with the monks? Le creepy!
Okay, yes the pirate is also in that chapter. Defintiely a bit creepy, but it goes to the modern day world after that chapter! With only little bits of fairytale/fables every so often.
just a quick note to say thank you for your time and effort in sharing your favourites list with us. well done.
Thank you!
