My favorites of 2020!
Juliet Takes A Breath is probably my favorite book of the past few years and Gabby Rivera has quickly become one of my favorite people I’ve never met based on her podcast, interviews, and reading this book. Stamped From the Beginning is an incredible deep dive into the history of racist ideas in America. This is one I will recommend to anyone wanting to get better educated on the history of racism in America. The Perks Of Being A Wallflower is a classic that I’ve read before but wanted to revisit. It did not disappoint and still holds its own as one of my favorite “coming of age” stories out there.
While those top 3 were my favorites there were several more serious contenders! These are more books that I would recommend without hesitation!
Reading what I want to read is beautiful and important, but I have also learned that diving into the world of my eldest child is fun and means so much more to Emery than I could have predicted. I plan to get further into Wings of Fire in 2021!
And to end this year’s journey, the one book I read that was painful to get through and I can say I will never read again. Actually I think I’m done with Kerouac in general after reading two of his books. No hate toward the guy, as many people love his work, but he’s just not for me.
