Books That Rocked My World in 2020 (In No Particular Order)
I define a good book as one that I keep thinking about the day after I spend time reading, and one that I miss once it’s finished. All of these books resonated with or challenged me in some manner, activated my heart, and sparked me to think about what was mine to do. I share in the hopes you find some active leisure to carry you through 2021.
