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.
August 2020, and the earth was on fire
Pizza Girl: A Novel by Jean Kyoung Frazier is high on my list of recommendations this month. It’s unique and stirring and a quick read so even if you can’t settle into something long, you can do this one.
July 2020, a series of rapid question marks
Hmm, I'd recommend quite a bit this month. The Lost Girls of Camp Forevermore, Followers, There, There, and Party of Two, which is actually a greater recommendation for all of Guillory's books. And honestly if you haven't read Their Eyes Were Watching God in your whole life, prioritize that.
June 2020, and Black lives still matter
Everyone, especially people who love and appreciate literature, should own a copy of The Source of Self-Regard: Selected Essays, Speeches, and Meditations by Toni Morrison to reference. Both of Janet Mock's books, I'd recommend to just about anyone.
March 2020, a month we all just tried to figure it out
[What I Recommend] I'll admit Zami: A New Spelling of My Name will not hit everyone the same, but I do recommend it. And Heartburn because everyone should read Heartburn.
