2. Wayward Son - Rainbow Rowell
Audio

3. Broken Throne - Victoria Aveyard

4. No One is Too Small To Make a Difference - Greta Thunberg

audio - read by Greta!

This is essentially all of Greta's speeches over the last 1 1/2 years compiled into one place. I recommend the audio version as well. I think the disturbing message has a greater impact when heard by this well-spoken and passionate activist. It's also pretty short. A little less than two hours run time.

59. Hollow Earth - John Barrowman and Carole Barrowman

Alas, I did more tv watching than reading in 2020. I watched over 1,400 episodes of tv shows, but I don’t regret it. Good storytelling is worth it, whatever the format!! 2020 was a year in need of escapism and I took it wherever I could get it!
