Greetings, reader friends! Today we reach the end of my annual Emoji Files celebrating my best reads of 2020. If you’ve missed my previous posts for 2020, make sure you check out The Swoony Awards, Got Me in the Feels, The WOW Awards, and Take Me Away.

The LOL Awards are, not surprisingly, for those books that have made me laugh this year. I’m always on a quest to find books that make me laugh, and for that reason, I’ve branched out a bit in my search for romantic comedy, which means there are some general market reads on this list that aren’t clean reads (Chateau of Happily Ever Afters by Jaimie Admans and Because of Miss Bridgerton by Julia Quinn). 

Greetings, reader friends! Today we reach the end of my annual Emoji Files celebrating my best reads of 2019. If you’ve missed my previous posts for 2019, make sure you check out The Swoony Awards, Got Me in the Feels, The WOW Awards, and Take Me Away.

The LOL Awards are, not surprisingly, for those books that have made me laugh this year. In some ways, this is one of the most difficult awards to give because humour can be such a personal thing. One person’s idea of humour may not even garner a smile from the next person. Then there’s the fact that I didn’t really read that many books that were humorous.  Sure, there were plenty of reads that had funny moments, but books that were memorable for being light-hearted or humorous were few and far between.
