Description

Who was the best hero of the year? Who was the best heroine? Who was the best supporting character? Probably one of the sandworms from Dune, right? Probably all the answers come from Dune. In any case, our heroes are looking back on every book they read in 2020 and singling out the best of the best. Gandalf, Natasha, Atticus Finch, and others are all in the running. YOU DON'T WANT TO MISS IT!
