Dr. StoneUnknown
Loved it

i read it and i've absolutely loved it... i actually enjoyed the sciency aspects of this i thought they were well done it wasn't super info dumpy

one of the best memoirs that i have ever read one that i had such a hard time reading because so much of this book reminded me of my own personal experiences but this was done in such a different and creative way

Loved it

this was the best why a fantasy of 2020 the best the i mean the best debut why a fantasy that i have seen in a very long time and this was just done so well

Long Way DownJason Reynolds
Loved it

this book is a huge exploration of the cycle of violence and how we should not ever label our kids ever because labeling our kids creates more problems... jason reynolds does a phenomenal job doing this

The DeepRivers Solomon
Loved it

this was such a dynamic book this was such a powerful book this book means so much and i just i don't even have the words to describe it

i was a little weary about the ends i think that bennett has his things for like obscure endings which i not a big deal but that definitely was kind of a hiccup for me in reading this one but otherwise so well done

This Is My AmericaKim Johnson
Loved it

this was one of the books that fell on that list because i still think that it is under hyped and underrated this is a book that details the black experience but in a new way that we haven't seen traditionally done

Three KeysKelly Yang
Loved it

kelly yang just weaves in this chunk of history here in the united states into this story... and it was so well done and it was so heartbreaking

this book had just the greatest chemistry the best lines i still stand and say that get on your knees and receive your penance is the line of 2020 for me it was the lawn it took the cake and i just thought it was a dynamic book

it has some serious conversations about patriarchy and religion and religion slash cult-like behavior and it is super intense and super dark there are a lot of trigger warnings in this book but i definitely enjoyed it
