Favorite Books of 2020

Favorite Books of 2020

I’ve frequently complained that I have too many books and not enough time to read them. When the  global pandemic struck and we went into lockdown due to COVID-19, I found myself with more free time than ever. Ironically, I couldn’t concentrate long enough to read a book to save my life. I read far fewer books than normal and only gave a handful of five stars to those published in 2020. Therefore, my Favorite Books of 2020 list also includes books that I read in 2020 but were published in a previous year. There are a couple of series as well.





Review: One More Round by Alice Clayton

Review: One More Round by Alice Clayton

December 22, 2020 Angela Reviews, Romance, Romantic Comedy

89 pages packed full of perfection! One More Round is like one big nuanced and completely satisfying epilogue to Caroline and Simon’s love story. It’s been at least five years since I read the books that made me a fan so some of the details were fuzzy, but this novella does a superb job interweaving key highlights without it sounding like mundane exposition.





Review: Layla by Colleen Hoover

Review: Layla by Colleen Hoover

“I placed two layers of duct tape over Layla’s mouth before I came downstairs, but I can still hear her muffled screams as the detective takes a seat at the table.” The very first sentence in Layla had me instantly covered in goosebumps, fully invested in the story. I knew Colleen Hoover had a darker side after reading her phenomenal thriller Verity, and I was all too happy to be sucked into her vortex of romantic suspense once again — this time with a paranormal spin.
