The books are stacked high on my bedside table and in various piles around the apartment. Reading had always been my great escape, and as you know, there are many reasons for escape these days. I've assembled a list of books suggested by some of my FB friends, family members, the NYT, Goodreads, the staff at Powells Books and me. The list isn't as long as last year's... I didn't include books of poetry or titles that were on any previous lists.
It's a list that will expand if you would be so kind as to send me your own suggestions.
Tomorrow I will attend the No Kings March and hope to post my photographs here on Monday.
Be safe, everyone. And happy reading.
