Hey Dear Readers!
One of my great joys as a bookseller is the ability to discover and read so many amazing books.
Here are my top picks from the year 2020. I can't pick just one YA, so I picked my top ten.
I also picked my favorite fantasy novel, my favorite romance novel, and my favorite middle grade novel.
I hope you find as much joy in these books as I did.
Happy Reading!
