Happy last Tuesday of 2020! Today I’m sharing a list of my top ten favourite books that I read during 2020. It’s hard to believe that in a couple of days we’ll be starting a brand new year. I think all of us are looking forward to a fresh start. Here’s hoping that 2021 will be a much better year for all of us.
The Cousins by Karen M McManus
This is my second Karen M McManus book, and I’m still really impressed with her mysteries! This one is my favourite so far. The Cousins follows three cousins, Milly, Aubrey and Jonah. They each receive a letter from their Grandmother asking them to work at her resort for the summer.
Royal Holiday by Jasmine Guillory
It’s official — I will definitely read anything and everything that Jasmine Guillory writes. Royal Holiday follows Maddie and her mom, Vivian, as they travel to England for Christmas so Maddie can style the Duchess. While there, Vivian meets Malcolm — the Queen’s Private Secretary. Their friendship quickly turns into a holiday romance.
Wrapped Up in You by Talia Hibbert
After reading Get a Life, Chloe Brown earlier this year, I quickly fell in love with Talia Hibbert’s writing. So when I found out she was releasing a Christmas novella, I knew I needed to read it! Wrapped Up in You is a short Christmas novella. It follows Will who has been friends with Abbie and her twin brother for years.
50 Middle Grade Books to Read in 2021
I’ve always enjoyed reading middle grade books. And as a teacher, I love sharing new worlds and stories with students. So today, I’m sharing a list of 50 middle grade books to read in 2021. The books on this list are books I am particularly excited for. I lean towards reading middle grade contemporary, mystery and fantasy books.
Fable by Adrienne Young
When books are hyped up, I can be skeptical about whether I’ll enjoy the book or not. But, after hearing my book friends Brittany, Milana and Flavia rave about Fable, it was time to pick it up. Fable follows seventeen year old Fable who has been surviving on an island for four years.
