Picture Book Wednesday: Best Books of 2020

 I've read so many picture books this year. And so many great ones. There have been some that made me smile, some that tugged at my heartstrings, and some that inspired me. 

I read picture books for two reason:

1. Because they're great reads and I love looking at the illustrations
2. Because of my job. 

Here are some of my favorite reads this year!

It's hard picking just 10 out of almost 700, but I'll try

I am One

Jabari Tries

I Promise

We Will Rock Our Classmates

The Power of Her Pen

Ways to Welcome

The Paper Kingdom

Goodnight Sleepyville

The Only Woman in the Photo

Lizzie Demands a Seat

Top Ten Tuesday: Top Books of 2020

So, I read a lot of books in 2020. But actually not too much more than usual. I did read more picture books than usual (more on those tomorrow). Since I started keeping track of picture books on a separate list, this year I read 273 books (as of this post) compared to 258 last year and 237 the previous year.

Because of #libfaves20 - I have created my top ten list

10. Something to Talk About

9. Date Me, Bryson Keller

8. Recommended for You

7. Blitzed

6. A Place at the Table

5. Our Friend Hedgehog

4. The Assignment

3. Boyfriend Project

2. Break the Fall

1. You Should See Me in Crown

Have you read any of these? Or are any on your list?

Top Ten Tuesday: Favorites of 2019

This week's topic is favorite reads of 2019. And I have A LOT of favorites (to no one's surprise). However, in the twitterverse - library folk create their top ten books of the year under #libfaves - so I did actually chose just 10...

There's a first time for everything right?

Top Ten Tuesday: Best of 2015 (so far)

This week's topic is the best books we've read so far this year. I've read 184 books this year. So I have a lot of chose from and it's really hard! And it's impossible to keep it just 10.
