Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme created by The Broke and the Bookish and now hosted by Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl.
The rules are simple:
Each Tuesday, Jana assigns a new topic. Create your own Top Ten list that fits that topic – putting your unique spin on it if you want. Everyone is welcome to join but please link back to That Artsy Reader Girl in your own Top Ten Tuesday post. Add your name to the Linky widget on that day’s post so that everyone can check out other bloggers’ lists. Or if you don’t have a blog, just post your answers as a comment.
This week’s topic is Favourite Books of 2020. It’s the topic I always dread, not because I haven’t read many brilliant books this year, but because I find it so difficult to choose only ten. However, with apologies to those I had to omit but still loved, here is my selection…or at least my selection as at this minute. By tomorrow, I may have changed my mind completely! (Links from the titles will take you to my reviews.)
The Lost Lights of St Kilda by Elisabeth Gifford (Corvus)
Miss Graham’s Cold War Cookbook by Celia Rees (Harper Collins)
The Offing by Benjamin Myers (Bloomsbury)
Munich by Robert Harris (Hutchinson)
A Registry of My Passage Upon the Earth by Daniel Mason (Mantle)
The Far Field by Madhuri Vijay (Grove Atlantic)
When We Fall by Carolyn Kirby (No Exit)
The Stasi Game by David Young (Zaffre)
V For Victory by Lissa Evans (Doubleday)
Small Great Things by Jodi Picoult (Hodder & Stoughton)
What Cathy Read Next... 
When We Fall has such a great cover.

I have Robert Harris’s Fatherland on my TBR for next year. It’s outside of my comfort zone, but it’s a book club selection so I’m looking forward to reading it.

Hope you enjoy it. I’ve loved all the books of his I’ve read and I still have a couple more in my TBR pile.

Thanks. It took ages, chopping and changing my choices… So many great books that nearly made it on to the list.

I read Small Great Things a few years ago (back when it was released in 2016) and really enjoyed it, I’m glad you did too!

The only one of those I’ve read is When We Fall, which I enjoyed although it didn’t quite make it onto my own list. Munich is on my TBR – I’m looking forward to reading it!

I always dread making these lists, too, because, without fail, I always manage to leave a book off that I greatly enjoyed. Even so, it looks lie you’ve had an excellent selection of books to help get you through this year. I haven’t paid enough attention to Miss Graham’s Cold War Cookbook before now, but it sounds fantastic. Adding it to my TBR pile.
