Best Books of 2020
2020 will go down in history as a year to remember. No, not for the pandemic, but for all of the great books I read! Here is my list of the Best Books of 2020. Many of these were released in 2020. Some were released just prior to 2020 (2018 and 2019 were also great years for books: sans-pandemic). I have eclectic taste in books so their categories vary from humor to literary to thriller to microfiction. One thing is for sure: all of these books are great! Let's congratulate these stellar writers for their fantastic books.
Ain’t Nobody Nobody by Heather Harper Ellett
The Seclusion by Jacqui Castle
In Wolves’ Clothing by Greg Levin
The Hollow by Owen Egerton
The Illusion of Leaving by Jeannette Brown
The Nickel Boys by Colson Whitehead
All Things Left Wild by James Wade
Nothing to See Here by Kevin Wilson
The World Is Yours by Ran Walker
The Printer and the Strumpet by Larry Brill
Let the Guilty Pay by Rick Treon
The Dark Corners of the Night by Meg Gardiner
Honorable Mention: If you read all of these wonderful books, then I offer up my 2020 release The Benevolent Lords of Sometimes Island. Maybe you would think I shouldn't nominate my own book, but you would be wrong. I loved writing it and I hope you love reading it, so I humbly suggest it along with these fine books.
