I didn't read that much during the months of October and November, so I decided to combine the last three months of 2020 in one wrap up.
These are the two books I read in October:
1. Becoming by Michelle Obama
2. The Bird's Nest by Shirley Jackson
My third Shirley Jackson novel, very interesting and entertaining! I always like stories about a character with multiple personalities. 4 stars!
These are the two books I read in November:
3. Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno-Garcia
Entertaining, weird and very atmospheric, 4 stars!
4. Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier
4 stars, this book has been on my shelves for quite a long time. I bought it years ago in a second-hand bookshop in Gerona, Spain. I remember the place very well and hope to visit it again in a year or two.
These are the seven books I read in December (I found some new favourites!):
5. Educated by Tara Westover
Another great biography and audiobook. I can't recommend this book enough. Read it! 5 stars!
6. The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by V.E. Schwab
7. Before the Coffee Gets Cold by Toshikazu Kawaguchi
This was such an entertaining and interesting collection of stories set in only one place, a cafe. 5 stars!
8. Only Dull People Are Brilliant at Breakfast by Oscar Wilde
I really like Oscar Wilde, although I don't agree with every quote. 4 stars!
9. In Order to Live: A North Korean Girl's Journey to Freedom by Yeonmi Park
This memoir was incredibly difficult to read at times but it's such a powerful book, everyone should read it. 5 stars! As in Educated, this book also shows the importance of education.
10. Giant Days, Vol. 7 (Giant Days, #7) by John Allison
4 stars, I quite enjoy this series.
11. Giant Days, Vol. 8 (Giant Days, #8) by John Allison
4 stars.

Educated was absolutely incredible! Becoming would be the next one on my list of best books of 2020.
DeleteI NEED to get to Mexican Gothic ASAP!
