Best Books of 2020

It’s the end of the decade and 2020 was quite the year! I’ve always been an avid reader, but life in the time of coronavirus left most of us with lots of extra time on our hands and nothing to do. I, like so many others, turned to baking sourdough bread, at-home workouts, Netflix binges, and reading… lots of reading. 68 books and 24,453 pages later the year is officially over and we’re still under shelter-in-place orders in my county.

Here’s a round-up of my favorites from the year.
