Night Worms 2020 mid-year round-up
2020 has been a dumpster fire for the world. I asked the Night Worms review team to tell me their one favorite book that they have read so far in 2020. The only requirements I gave that they read it this year and that it was currently available. I apologize in advance to your bank balance.
