Over the course of the 12 days of Christmas, we are going to be celebrating the feel good novels that were released each month of 2020. 

I know that 2020 has been a horrible year for many, a year unlike anything else we have ever experienced, but if like me you have found great solace in reading, and especially books that have made you completely escape reality and feel good for even a short time, then you may like these suggestions from various authors. 

These are their top Feel Good reads from 2020 and each day I'll look at a different month's releases, as it made sense at the time I came up with the idea!   So onwards, let's see what fabulous feel good books were released in August 2020. 

Blue Skies by Alana Oxford
 - as recommended by Kiley Dunbar

I suggest @alanaoxford and her novella Blue Skies, it came out in August, I’m sure, and I enjoyed the lovely chatty slow burn of it all. Plus there are cute dogs and a ‘you’re soaked, come back to mine and get out of those wet things’ moment!

Purchase from Amazon UK

Note from Rachel - Well anything with cute dogs has my vote for feel good fiction! Sounds lovely. 

Dear Emmie Blue by Lia Louis
 - as recommended by Bella Osborne

I’d like to nominate Dear Emmie Blue by Lia Louis as my favourite feel-good read of 2020. It has the best opening line I’ve read in absolutely ages, you are rooting for the characters from the start and it’s funny and poignant in equal measure.

Purchase from Amazon UK

Note from Rachel - I'm kind of curious to read this now just to see what the opening line is!
