Episode 44: Laura's 2020 Favorites

I've been promising this episode for a while and this is the week it finally happened! I'll share some of my favorite fiction, non-fiction, middle grade, and series that I read in 2020. The books are organized roughly by the order in which I read them. What books made your top of 2020 list?

The list that inspired this episode. I meant to pick a top book for each month, but that didn't happen! It's so hard to narrow down favorites, especially when you read as many books as I did last. This list was the result!
