Top 10 Books of 2020

Ms.Bjork here,

I read 128 books last year and after some painstaking analysis, these are my top 10 books of 2020. I gave all of these books 5 star ratings, so if you’re looking for something to read, you can’t go wrong with any of these:

·The Changeling by Victor LaValle

This book is a rollercoaster of a ride in the best way, whatever you think you know, you don’t! A love story between a book dealer and a librarian that turns into an epic search, this is a story about love and parenthood.

·The Beauty in Breaking by Michelle Harper

A memoir by a Black, female ER physician that delves into finding the line between compassion and self-care.

·Silver Sparrow by Tayari Jones

A story told in parts by 2 sisters from the same father but from 2 different families. Heartbreaking and honest.

·Just Mercy by Brian Stevenson

A memoir by the creator of the Equal Justice Initiative and the tumultuous first years fighting for justice on death row.

·Circe by Madeline Miller

A humanized account of the Greek enchantress Circe. It is an empowering female narrative that intertwines with well-known Greek mythology.

A memoir from the creator of Common Justice and an in-depth look at restorative justice.

·Freshwater by Akwaeke Emezi

The story of a young Nigerian woman with ogbanje spirits within her, written from multiple perspectives.
