Besides managing the music section, I’m an avid reader, writing around 20-30 books a year in addition to my full-time job as an editor for city paper. (My Goodreads Reading Challenge 2020 the goal is 25 pounds, but I’ll likely exceed it through social distancing.) Since many are staying home due to the recent COVID-19 outbreak, I thought of writing full reviews of the latest books I read. But then I remembered that in the age of social media, attention span is tiny. So instead, I’m bringing you a review of the last 10 books I’ve read, in a short and quick five (or six) word summary. This may help you choose your next read.
