My Big Book List 2020

1/16/2021

0 Comments

 
It's been a LONG time since I've posted.... but teaching & home-schooling is no joke. My sense is that lots of you get that.  
I didn't reach my GoodRead goal of reading 50 books, but I got to 43, so I figured I'd share the list here. I change the categories up a little every year, but these were the ones that made the most sense this year.  I didn't do many "heavy" books-- I definitely didn't have the desire or focus for that. Lots of escapism here :).   The starred ones were my favorite, & I've linked to some other ones I suggest you check out, too.   Happy reading!
