Summing up my reading list for the year 2020 here, which turned out to be very progressive in terms of reading!
However, currently undergoing a readers' block ๐Ÿ’” so not anticipating to read more than one book this month. (I.e, Verity by Colleen Hoover).
Below are the books i was able to read this year and very thankful for that.Also, included my rating for each.

Would love to hear from you all if we have common reading lists or any book you want to talk about .
Also, any comment about my ratings is welcomed.

๐Ÿ“–A man called Ove by Fredrick Backman

Rating: โญโญโญ

So this is a hyped book and you see it all over the places!
For me it turned out so boring at times because of the book length ๐Ÿ˜ฉ yet there are some very interesting perspectives about life and death!

Something about the plot, (taken from Wikipedia) ๐Ÿ‘‡

"Ove is a curmudgeonโ€”the kind of man who points at people he dislikes as if they were burglars caught outside his bedroom window. He has staunch principles, strict routines, and a short fuse. People call him โ€œthe bitter neighbour from hell.โ€ However, behind the cranky exterior there is a story and a sadness. So when one November morning a chatty young couple with two chatty young daughters move in next door and accidentally flatten Oveโ€™s mailbox, it is the lead-in to a comical and heart-warming tale of unkempt cats, unexpected friendship, and the ancient art of backing up a U-Haul. All of which will change one cranky old man and a local residentsโ€™ association to their very foundations."
