This year was a lot. Last year was a lot. Hopefully we're moving into precedented times.
But rather than dwell on what will be (something unknowable anyway) why don't we talk about reading. There was a lot of rereads this year because, you know, everything. Which means there were a lot of 5 star reviews. It wasn't all rereads but there were some new favorites from this year which is always great.
