2020 Readings
2020 sucked. You know it. I know it. Here are the books I read this year. Annually, I do a detailed recap, and set 2021 goals, but since our goal is to merely make it to the end of this pandemic, I don't feel right with wide-eyed optimism.

3.) Three Women by Lisa Taddeo
4.) American Dirt: a Novel by Jeanine Cummins
5.) My Year of Rest and Relaxation: a Novel by Ottessa Moshfegh
6.) And I Do Not Forgive You: Stories and Other Revenges by Amber Sparks
7.) Anklet and Other Stories by Shome Dasgupta
8.) The Bonesetter's Daughter: a Novel by Amy Tan
9.) Weather: a Novel by Jenny Offill
10.) Trick Mirror: Reflections on Self-Delusion by Jia Tolentino
11.) So We Can Glow: Stories by Leesa Cross-Smith
12.) Our Alternate Universes by Rachel Tanner
