Right now, fast paced books are my favorite kind of reading. Normally, I love diverse, literary fiction, but it’s not enough to hold my COVID/post-election attention. This is also my backlist reading time of the year, when I’m less about striking out on my own—reading new books you may not know about—and more about reading older books I’ve heard about.
