The Millions Top 10
A Year in Reading: Jon Mooallem
This was the year I decided to write down every book I read in a day-glo yellow notebook, along with a list of everything I fixed around the house, because I chronically feel like I’m not reading or fixing nearly enough, and figured it would be nice to have a clear ledger of those accomplishments. But I lost track of the notebook sometime in February or March, and didn’t find it again until a few weeks ago.

A Year in Reading: Katherine D. Morgan
I miss discussing books with my brilliant coworkers. I miss dusting my shelves and creating displays for the aisles that I ran. I miss my discount. I miss sitting on the couch before my shift started, cracking open my current read, and trying my hardest not to fall asleep on the couch. I miss my old life. I miss my love of reading.

For the first time in weeks, I was swept along into that trance, that magic inner space where stories live.
