#FMAFavorites of 2020
I read/listened to 55 books this year. Of those, 28 were 5 stars! The pandemic changed how we went about our daily lives, some changes were for the better and some for the worst. For me, I realized 2020 was a year where I needed comfort and aside from a few exceptions, I stuck to my favorite authors â which makes sense why I had 28 5 star reads.
The exceptions were I read quite a few businessâŚ
