2020 will no doubt bring us another wonderful selection of new titles, new authors and old favourites. Look forward to being part of the AWW2020, thanks to all involved.

Thanks Brenda, hope you have an awesome reading year in 2020
#1 Great way to commence the AWW2020 with a beautifully written book Nine Days by Toni Jordan5 star read for me, really loved it https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
#2 Probably more 3.5 stars but feeling a bit generous. Found it interesting, not overly keen on the last couple of chapters.The Orchardist's Daughter Karen Viggers

Yes she's certainly a talented writer :)
#5 Quirky and enjoyable, prefer her historical fiction novels but it was a good summer read. 3 starshttps://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

#8 Just can't review this one. Reading and finishing this one was a real challenge. Sorry, just couldn't cope with the writing style and repetitive use of phrases, it nearly did my head in. 2 stars, it had heaps of potential but did not deliver. Would be very interested to hear other opinions.Pip Drysdale The Strangers We Know
#9 Enjoyed it but not my favourite of Toni's. Toni Jordan Our Tiny, Useless Heartshttps://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
3 stars
#10 Very interesting, moody, sad but well written debut novel Anne Brinsden Wearing Paper Dresses
4 stars https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
#11 Loved this one, an endearing work of fiction by Anna Goldsworthy Melting Moments4 stars https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
#12 Gorgeous historical fiction by Kirsty Manning The Lost Jewels4 stars https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

#13 Beautiful first novel of Pip Williams The Dictionary of Lost WordsMy review https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

6 short of my target this year :-( but enjoyed being involved in the AWW2020 as the round-up editor for general fiction. Will continue this in 2021, hope to read more but will be balancing with studying and full time work. Will see how I go!
Never mind Jenny, as long as you enjoyed what you read :) Good luck next year!
