Read several books but none published in 2020 or on the list I read Green Eggs And Ham 
but seriously I recently read Ruthless River by Holly Fitzgerald about surviving getting lost in the Amazon.

Best fiction books written in 2020 that I have listened to were both crime thrillers:
Victim 2117, Department Q Series, Book 8, by Jussi Adler-Olsen and;
A Small Town, by Thomas Perry.
Best non fiction book published in 2020 that I listened to was:
Dark Towers - Deutsche Bank, Donald Trump, and an Epic Trail of Destruction, by David Enrich.
Best book of short stories written in 2020 that I listened to was Broken, by Don Winslow.
Best series of books by one author I listened to (binged on) in 2020 but published previously, were crime fiction novels by the Irish author Adrian McKinty and read by the excellent Irish reader Gerald Doyle.
Dead I May Well Be - Michael Forsythe 01
The Dead Yard - Michael Forsythe 02
The Bloomsday Dead - Michael Forsythe 03
The Cold Cold Ground - Detective Sean Duffy 01

In the Morning Ill Be Gone - Detective Sean Duffy 03
Gun Street Girl - Detective Sean Duffy 04
Rain Dogs - Detective Sean Duffy 05
Police at the Station and They Don't Look Friendly - Detective Sean Duffy 06

besides work related books…..dealing with ideological conformity, the fragility of democracy and the aftermath of fascism…..seems appropriate at the moment

The irony is that this year would be great for reading, but the reasons why have meant feeling too persistently "on-edge" to get as immersed into anything as tends to happen with a book.
