MOST ANTICIPATED BOOKS OF 2020

It's a new year and a new journey in books, as well. 

Last year I also had my list of Most Anticipated Books, which was very helpful because without it I may have rutted all the more. Admittedly, I did not finish the list. Some I have started and paused, others I have not even cracked yet, and two were not in fact published last year. Also, I seem to be leaning more on feel-good/gentle reads lately, which may be why I have those paused and uncracked books still on my TBR.

I’ve read 29 books and although it’s a far cry from my usual count, I really feel good about most of them. So, satisfied me had no complaints.

For 2020, here’s my eclectic list of Most Anticipated Books:

I have previously-published books on my list too. They usually change over the course, depending on my mood. Most of them are also in audiobook form, and I may need to buy printed copies or loan copies from the library soon. 

I'm also into Libby by Overdrive lately. Wonderful site, even though sometimes I have to wait for weeks for an audiobook request.   The same goes for our cloudLibrary  by Bibliotheca Ltd.  The magic of having a library card! Right? Also, let us keep supporting our local libraries -visit often, vote for their renovations, and fight to keep librarians (they are precious and few).

If you think I should add more to my list or you have any recommendations, please leave a comment below. 

Now, let's begin!
