I read 85 books this year - So many 5 star choices this year, hard to choose. It was also a year of re-reading, waiting for sequels and re-reading.

Best Book (Non-Fiction): In Her Nature: Rachel Hewitt & Rest is Resistance: Tricia Hersey
Book which made me change/gave me most food for thought: White Women: Everything you already know about racism and how to do better: Regina Jackson & Between the World and Me: Ta-Nehisi-Coates
Best re-read (Fiction): Good Omens: Terry Pratchett & Neil Gaiman re-read this with my teenage son, as we watched the Amazon Prime series!
