Hooray, 2020 is almost over! Even with all the disruptions and turmoil, we hope you’ve had a wonderful reading year and that our work here at FanLit helped you achieve that.
Now we want to know: What is the best book you read in 2020?
It doesn’t have to be a book that was published in 2020. Just read in 2020. It doesn’t even have to be speculative fiction.

Time for another “Rename This Horrible Cover” contest!
Actually, this cover isn’t that bad, but we do feel like the book needs a better title — one that fits the cover art better.
Can you suggest one?
The creator of the title we like best wins a book from our stacks.
Got a suggestion for a horrible cover that needs renaming? Please send it to Kat.
