Many of us are spending more time indoors than ever before, and that means more time to dive into our reading lists. So what should you read next?
This year, we re looking forward to some exciting new releases from some of our favorite authors, as well as stunning debut books from a diverse group of newcomers in just about every genre we can think of. This year, many of our top book picks (so far!) offer us critiques on our society today, imaginative ways our world might be structured instead, a peek into complicated family dynamics, steamy love stories that send shivers up our spines, historical novels that dip back into the past, and creepy tales of suspense that kept us up way past our bedtimes.
