I’m tracking right along with my goal to blog more often. Right now, I’m at about twice per year.
In 2019, I was able to bump up the volume of reading I did. So, at the end of that year I shared a list of all that I read, just for anyone who might be interested (and more for me to keep a record). I thought as 2020 wrapped up I would do the same this year. I appreciate these lists I find online for recommendations, so take it for what it’s worth. (Disclaimer: I have not authority as a book reviewer other than I’m a proud Enneagram 5 and a voracious consumer of words.)
Just a quick rundown of the awards I would give out for 2020:
Best Book: Gilead, Marilynne Robinson
Best Novel: Gilead, Marilynne Robinson
Best Theology/Inspirational: The Slavery of Death, Richard Beck
Best Guilty Pleasure: The Institute, Stephen King
