Quiz – Bev’s Reading Year (1)

My annual bit of self-indulgence.
It’s been a lousy year for everything except reading. This is a quiz on my favourite reads of 2020 – it’s been such a good year I’ve made 2 quizzes out of it!
Fiction, non-fiction, best sellers, classics and some strange ones along the way – a great year of reading even though my TBR pile has not shrunk!
