my top 10 favorite reads of 2020
and what a year it was, eh?
2020
December 2020, and we're all in misery
Exciting Times and Sounds Like Titanic were both so damn good. You’ll hear a lot of Sally Rooney comparisons with Exciting Times, but I much preferred this to Normal People, if that helps. And don’t let the Titanic reference scare you away! It’s much more than it seems.
November 2020, a good time to read
Honestly, Breasts and Eggs, A Girl is a Body of Water, and A Burning have all come out in the past six months and are still kind of buzz-y and all of them are good, so I’d recommend any of those if you want to be up on what people are reading and talking about.
October 2020, *insert internet shrug here*
It started out meh with the book about friendship that I didn’t care for, but the triple whammy of Pachinko, The Warmth of Other Suns, and the masterpiece that is Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows made for a beautiful month of reading.
September 2020, and it was hard to breathe
I really think Feasting Wild is something everyone should find the time to read. The Vanishing Half is worth your time, if for no other reason than you’d get to have an opinion on one of the most talked about books this summer.
