Book Reviews and More: Top Ten Fiction and Non-Fiction Books Third Quarter 2020

Top Ten Fiction and Non-Fiction Books Third Quarter 2020

This quarter I have read only 61 books, which was my lowest quarter in a long time. A few factors have contributed to the decline. And it is unlikely that I will hit a book a day for the year. Some of those factors include working from home and losing my commute time as reading time. Also being home with up to 3 children most of the time, my lunch is no longer reading time as well. But there were still many great reads this quarter. And reading and reviewing is my hobby and I will not stress over the lower number of books read and reviewed. And I only tagged one book as ‘did not finish’ this quarter. Of the 61 books read this quarter 42 got 5/5 stars of those 10 of those have been read before leaving 51 books to pick from for the 10 Ten lists this quarter. And 22 of those were fiction and 10 non-fiction.

My reading has been consistent at about a book a day over the last few years, but this quarter that dropped significantly. There were many great reads this quarter, some new books just out in print, and some older that have been around for a while. I encourage you to check a few of them out, and let me know what you think after you have read them.

Note: I do not include books that have been read in previous years and were reread this year in my top ten lists, they are sometimes in the bonus section. But if you want more options check out my favorite books year by year list.
