over the past 10 years, i have blogged about my reading here, and in the process of documenting it and being purposeful about prioritizing it, i have increased the amount that i read. in 2011 when i started this with the goal of reading 25 books, i read 38. i peaked in 2016 with 58 books, and this year i read 50, about a book a week. i've tried to make note when i read a diverse book (as in, the main character or the author is not white), and this year i read 14 of those books. (put another way, i read 36 books this year where the main character AND the author were white, so i've clearly still got a ways to go.)
my favorite books of 2020:
golden child, by claire adam
a woman is no man, by etaf rum
one day, by gene weingarten
disappearing earth, by julia phillips
how to be an antiracist, by ibram x. kendi
the vanishing half, by brit benett
leave the world behind, by rumaan alam
