Over the course of the next 12 Days, 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 January 2020. 

Coming Home to Brightwater Bay by Holly Hepburn
 - as recommended by Miranda Dickinson

My feel good book is the Brightwater Bay series by Holly Hepburn, which published in four parts through 2020 (part 1 in January, part 2 in April, part 3 in July and part 4 in October). I loved this series because it whisked me away to gorgeous Orkney and was filled with warm-hearted, loveable characters that felt like friends every time I returned to the next part. It was so lovely to have more of the story to look forward to and being able to escape into it was such a joy this year.  

Purchase from Amazon UK

Note from Rachel - On 21st January 2021, all four parts of this are being released in one book called Coming Home to Brightwater Bay.  I'm really looking forward to reading it myself and my review will be on the blog tour on 28th Jan. 

It Started With A Secret
 - as recommended by Debbie Viggiano

Everyone loves hearing about a secret, so the hook was in the title. Jill delivered a joyful bit of escapism set in beautiful Cornwall.

Note from Rachel - I'm inclined to agree, I also found it to be a fabulous five star book, and my review can be found here.
