This is probably the last edition of Booksie's Shelves for 2020. What a year it has been. I suspected back in the spring when we were going through shutdown that it would take at least a year and unfortunely, it appears I was right. While 2020 has taken a lot away, time with families, jobs and job prospects, friendships conducted only remotely, it has proved a boon year for my reading. I know a lot of my reading friends have had trouble concentrating, but I've not done much since March except read and catch up on TV series. I'm making progress on goals like reading series I've been meaning to for years, catching up on some classics I've wanted to read and mainly reading and moving on some of the thousands of books here in my house. That's a necessity since I'll never stop acquiring books. I've read lots of the Booker and Women's Fiction Prize nominees and winners. Here's what's come through the door lately:
- Terrier, Tamora Pierce, fantasy, purchased
