Hi guys, it’s Ely from Earl Grey Books. Can you believe this is my last guest post for 2020? Since it’s the last one for the year I thought I would share with you three books that I read in 2020 that I really want YOU to read. And yes Angel, that means you too.

The Last True Poets of the Sea by Julia Drake

I’ve been talking about this book a lot on my own blog lately. But it’s just so good that I have to mention it on here too. This is one of the most beautiful books I’ve read and it does not get the recognition that it deserves. If you like the sorts of things that Angel tends to read and review, particularly the YA contemporaries she likes, then you’ll probably like this one too.

Only When It’s Us by Chloe Liese

You might’ve seen Angel talk about this one already because she was the one who made me read it, but it’s such a great read. I don’t read a lot of contemporary adult romance, and when I do, I often don’t like them. But this one has so much heart to it that I couldn’t help but love it. This is a cute sports romance, but it also features disability which you know Angel and I are both 100% here for.

The Arrival by Shaun Tan

I will never, ever shut up about Shaun Tan. He’s an Australian-based artist and writer and everything he’s ever created is stunning. The Arrival is one of the books of his I read this year and I think it’s probably my favourite. It’s a picture book, almost a graphic novel, though it doesn’t have any words. The images are so beautiful and powerful that you don’t need them to understand the story. He also creates the most adorable little creatures. Seriously these things need to be real so that my cat, Percy, can have them as friends.

 

 

And that’s a wrap on 2020 for me here. If you’re interested in hearing about the other amazing books I read in 2020, pop over to my blog over the next few weeks to see my top books lists!
