2020 Year in Books

I’ll just list the ones I recommend. 

Normal People – A short novel about the evolution of a relationship (from teens to twenties.) Took place in Ireland, which allowed me to read large chunks to myself with an Irish accent. 

We Were The Lucky Ones – Non-fiction story of the author’s Jewish family in Europe during WWII. If you think your life is stressful, read this. 

Fleishman in Trouble – Three-part urban, domestic novel narrated by one of the characters. First two parts are great, the third felt like the author needed to beat a deadline. But still really good overall. 

Alexander Hamilton – If you’re considering a big historical bio, this one lives up to the hype.

Bad Blood – non-fiction about the rise and fall of a Silicon Valley startup 

Little Fires Everywhere – Short, suburban, multi-family novel

Say Nothing – Readable non-fiction about The Troubles in Northern Ireland
