2020 was another good reading year for me with 64 books read. While this post comes late, better late than never in some cases.

It was challenging to choose 3 favourites from the past year. While there were many good books, not as many stood out strongly as they had the year before. Possibly the biggest disappoint was the release of the much anticipated Bobiverse Book 4, “Heaven’s River” by Dennis E Taylor. The first 3 Bobiverse books continue to be my all time favourites and I reread them frequently. Sadly, Book 4, while I understand the evolution of the narrative, took a completely different path from the previous 3 and went far more dystopian. The Bobiverse has always been an uplifting, escape for me and Book 4 was definitely not. In fact, I recently reread the series but only the first 3 books, excluding the 4th.

Enough chatter, here are my 3 favorites from 2020. The most interesting aspect of these picks is they are all non fiction, which makes up a small percentage of the books I read each year.

Ah, one of those dreaded “best of” posts. As you can see from my Books page, I managed to read/listen to 71 books this year. Granted, several of them were short stories or novellas, but still, a new record for me! Given this new PR, I thought I would post my 3 favourite books from this year.

While many were good or very good, and a few terrible, these 3 make my best of list because they had super characters, great storylines, and unique twists and turns that kept me thinking about these books long after I finished reading them. All three of these fit into the hard science fiction genre, which is one of my favourites in addition to non-fiction science books.

This is pretty cool!

Here it is. Haven’t followed much hockey this year but going with the heart!

P.S. I do have a second bracket with Tampa Bay taking the east and the Preds winning it all but I’m not posting that one 🙂

University of Virginia to win it all 🙂
