2020 Favourites

It has been A Year. But spending multiple months at home also means that I read so many books. Like, so many. And so many good ones, too! So without further ado, here are my favourite reads of 2020 (not necessarily published this year, in the order that I read them).

Gideon the Ninth

Lesbian necromancers in space!! Absolute insane masterpiece of a book–you have to pay close attention to understand what is happening, but it is so, so worth it!!! The main character is an absolute delight, and this is probably the book I’ve quoted most often in 2020.

The Queens of Innis Lear

I fell in complete love with Tessa Gratton’s writing this year! Her characters are so vivid, and the book just pulls at your heart in all the right ways. I read both Queens and Lady Hotspur this year, and loved them both to bits. Shakespeare retellings with magic–what’s not to love?
