I can't really remember any time when I wasn't reading. I LOVE books and what they give me. It's an opportunity to learn new things, see new places,live different emotions in a "safe" way. It lets me live in a new world.
I read all types of books but my favorites are urban fantasy and romantic suspense.I like some romance and some action / adventure / mystery in everything.I like sex in my books but please, only between TWO people.Intimate conversation is equally important to the sex in a book.It lets me see the characters.The other thing I enjoy is humor.

KC The Kiss Quotient and A Curious Beginning were a few of my favorites back when I read them too.
Yes there are several on your list I enjoyed or want to read too.
Choosing ten is so hard, I didn’t even try, lol. I see lots of books I want to read on these lists. Addie LaRue made mine as well?
Addie Larue is one I want to read, as are all the ones on Robin’s and KC’s list which I haven’t read yet. I cheat by also doing an audio top 10 to actually have 20 favorites each year.
I’m going to post on this a day late. I had to get a review up today. Emerald Blaze and Silent Wife were among my favorites too!
Excellent choices and it is so hard to choose. That’s why I cheat and do 10 audiobooks also.
Finally got around to posting some of my favorites for 2020!
Thank you for sharing them with us! I think it is so much fun to see everyone’s choices. ( And easier when they are all linked up here.)
We’re doing best of 2020 lists all week and linking up with 3 of your topics. Excited to see everyone’s lists!
Thanks so much for joining us! I love looking at everyone’s lists but I’m adding to the TBR with some lists.
With the exception of the Patricia Briggs books, I haven’t read any of these! So I guess this is a good reference as a to read list 🙂
I know I’m adding to my TBR too. But Ilona Andrews! They are my favorite and you should definitely read everything they write.
Definitely a good way to find a few new authors to try out.
Great lists, ladies. I haven’t compiled my list of favorites, but I agree with Emerald Blaze! And of the two Milla Vane stories released in 2020, my favorite is A Touch of Snow and Stone (I loved both, but this was probably my favorite read of 2020).
We tend to have a little bit of everything because we enjoy so many genres. I am adding to my TBR as I see others’ choices.
Milla Vane surprised me with those. Such a great romantasy. Good blend of both fantasy and romance.
Yay! Love seeing your lists and what fabulous reads made it onto them. I see I really need to get caught up and read Emerald Blaze since it made more than one list. 🙂
Well Robin and I, in particular, are rabid Ilona Andrews fans so I would say yes you should read everything they write and how can you even wait until it is released? But there are so many great books and I’m finding more for my TBR as I read everyone’s lists.
I second what Anne just said.
I’ve yet to pull my list together but I’m loving seeing others favourites for the year!
I can’t believe I haven’t read Emerald Blaze yet. I had it pre-ordered so it’s been on my kindle for ages but I’ve been delaying reading it as I like knowing a book that will be a sure-fire hit is waiting for me when I need it, lol. Bit mad, I know…
We are die hard Ilona Andrews fans so we want to read her books the moments we get them in our grabby hands. It is always fun to see all the amazing books. I look forward to your picks!
I love these lists although they only add to my wish list. I can’t wait to read Emerald Blaze. I hope to read The Alice Network this coming year. I love the Maggie Hope series, although I still have a ways to go.
I know! I keep adding to the TBR but I do love to see all the great books.
If I had a list, Addie LaRue would definitely be on it! The Kiss Quotient was on my list back when I read it as well. The rest I haven’t read. I love seeing what others put on their top of the year lists.
I love to see the picks and stuff my TBR. When someone stopped doing this meme, I had to pick it up because I wanted to see all the lists.
Addle LaRue’s prose is fantastic and really it was so different than anything else I read this year.
Oh many great books there!
That’s the idea. And there are so many great ones we were able to read this year.
Great lists! There have been so many good books this year it’s been hard to choose!
There are so many great ones and I’m so happy to see others’ lists too.
I am so excited to see all of your favorites of the year. Good to know Emerald Blaze was your favorite, I had a blast with Sapphire Flames.
Everything Ilona Andrews is my favorite!
Smoke Bitten would definitely make my top 10 list. I see a lot of books on my wishlist.
I love seeing everyone’s favorites on these lists but it is loading up my TBR too.
