Your Favorite Read of the Year?

I’m not normally one for end-of-the-year lists, but this year I accomplished two things:

I spent almost zero time on social media.

I read each evening besides my normal read-at-bedtime fix. More books finished!

A few of my top books for the year included titles that gave me something to think about, opened me to fresh perspectives, and were downright fun.

Children of Time by Adrian Tchaikovsky
