We're here to share our best memories, podcast episodes and, of course, books from 2020! We had so many fantastic reads this year...and a few that were less than stellar. We share our final thoughts on how this year affected our reading, from the pandemic to starting a podcast. It's been a crazy year and we're glad to see it go away.
