Bridges Recap - Part 6 - 2020

What.  A.  Year.  It's no surprise that April and May have the most books.  Finishing a book was one of the few things I did that made me feel accomplished at that time.  Then, it's quite obvious when the school year started.  We were teaching online and in person at the same time, which is next level teacher exhaustion.  

In Bridges Recap - Part 1 - Audiobooks, I discuss audiobook options, and how I have chosen a lot of the books I listen to.  The first actual book log post is Bridges Recap - Part 2 - 2016.  All of the books in these posts were listened to on Bridges, which has now been discontinued.  I now listen on Libby.  This is mostly a book log for me.  It doesn't mean I liked or didn't like the book if it's listed or linked.  Most links are from Bookshop.org, which I am currently an affiliate.

Looking at the list, it was difficult to pick out favorites for this year.  At the time, I remember just not really being able to get into what I was reading.  I just always had something playing--podcasts, books, tv.  I know many people consumed a lot of books by more diverse authors and topics, but this year, my listening was more of a coping strategy.  My news consumption and social media consumption was more diverse, but what I listened to on Bridges was more something to distract myself.  Some of these books could later become favorites, but I think my brain does naturally block out a lot of stuff from the year 2020.  

The book that stood out as a favorite was The Hate U Give.  Relistening to the Maggie Hope series, starting Maisie Dobbs series, and more Harry Potter were all comfort listens.  Maisie Dobbs was a new series for me that Doree Shafrir had talked about on her podcast Forever35.  Some books that were popular suggestions to me at the time were Where the Crawdads Sing, Under the Banner of Heaven, Educated, and The Husband's Secret.  Good books that led to plenty of good conversation, but not all books I'll necessarily listen to again.
