2020 Year in Reading

 So, for the second year in a row I've failed to meet my Goodreads goal of 100 books. This year I read 91 books and 22 cookbooks. You would think with the COVID pandemic and my work being closed for 2 1/2 months that I would have exceeded by reading goal, but somehow I did not. I will have to decide if I want to keep my goal for next year 100 or bring it down some. 

Here are my top 10 books of 2020 and my top 5 cookbooks:

1. Pachinko by Min Jin Lee
