2020.

One of the many lessons that this year has taught me is the necessity of creating safe and peaceful spaces, where my mind can rest. In my safe spaces, my favorite pastime is reading and journaling. I had the privilege to take time to read many new releases of books that made me laugh, cry, smile, and most importantly escape to other worlds. Though this year has been strange and odd, writers and their publishers have been pushing out some amazing reads this year! I’m so excited to present to you, my favorite graphic novels and middle grade books, that were released in 2020! I wish I could put ALL of them on here, but these are just a few of my favorite new releases.

AS ALWAYS, HAPPY READING!
