What I've Read: Summer 2020

Putting together this list, I realized that this crop of eleven books could be grouped around a few different, but complementary, themes. Each, in a way, reflected the times we are all going through.

So now, instead of shoving the books I loved into the arms of the nearest human (aka my husband),  I can shove them into the world of the internet instead.
