Hey friends!

We know this year has been absolutely bonkers, but one of the bright spots of the year has been reading so many amazing stories by so many different talented authors. And while we would absolutely love to include every single book we’ve read this year in our favorites list, we try to whittle the list down to as close to 10 as possible (which is really hard!!!) Even though we try to do only 10, since our lists don’t completely overlap, we do have a little more than that every year. We’ve also included some comics as well (because we have many tastes!)

So here is our list, in no particular order! (Please consider requesting these from your local library, or ordering them from a local indie store!
