2020 has been a difficult year for a lot of people, and I have found my reading habits affected. I haven’t read, or reviewed, nearly as much as I would like to, but reviewing my list, I am at least happy with the diversity of my reading. This is reflected in my list, below, and

Reading has been a great solace for so many in a year when we’ve all been stuck at home, unable to travel and working hard at staying safe. Seems only right, then, that my choice of the best books of 2020 should hop and skip all over the globe! From the Gaspé Peninsula in Canada,

Translated by Megan Turney — Oslo’s New Year’s Eve festivities are disrupted by a terrorist attack. The climactic fireworks display is interrupted by an explosion. A bomb, hidden in a rubbish bin at the riverside, has been remotely triggered; luckily most of the force of the explosion is directed out over the water, but there

Until I was doing it for my real-life grown-up job, I never put much thought to the art behind typesetting. Newspapers, magazines, books—I thought they all just came that way. But there are so many decisions to be made about the best fonts for books, from the typeface itself to the type size, the space
I’ve had a lot of time to think lately. Like many of you, I’m not a huge fan of too much mental downtime, though I would love if my brain would let me spend a little more time sleeping. I’m surviving, though, in part by deep diving into old manga, in part by changing careers (somepony just
It’s been a while since I last recommended movies for YA readers to enjoy, and I’ve seen quite a few more since then. Some of these are based on books, while others just feel right for fans of young adult novels. Some are movies while others are limited series. They are all about teenagers, obvs,

Before the pandemic trapped me in my apartment, I liked looking at houses. I wouldn’t call it a passion for architecture by any means. In practice, it was just me absorbing HGTV from the gym TV while running on the elliptical. This turned into an obsession with scrolling through pictures of homes on Instagram. I
I am a Christian writing about books to teach you about Judaism. This is important. You see, just as it is not the responsibility of people of color to teach white people about racism or for queer people to educate the straights, it is not on Jewish people to enlighten us Christians. (I did, however,

Ominous mists roll across a treeless wasteland. The unnerving growl of an untrustworthy dog. A young woman’s bare feet on the tarmac. A meth head stands in his underwear, flipping the bird to a police helicopter. And Norwegian dialogue subbed into English.

It’s no exaggeration to say that 2020 has been one of the toughest years in living memory. The COVID-19 pandemic has had a devastating medical impact, and a knock-on economic impact that the world will be feeling for a while to come. Many people have lost their day jobs as a result of the crisis
