Most of us are happy to say good-bye to 2020 and look forward to positive changes in 2021 that will help put us back on the path to normalcy. I did take time to look back at my 2020 results and here are the results:

I read 217 books in 2020 which (according to Goodreads) was 63,436 pages. There were some wonderful books in 2020 and here are my top books -- I couldn't make it a top 10 so here are my top 11 (in no order of preference)
