Another year has come and gone. You know what that means, don't you? Time for a bunch of strangers to tell you what was good! And why should you care what the LitReactor staff thinks are the best books of the year? Trick question! You shouldn't. But what they have to say might interest you nonetheless, because they are good-looking and knowledgeable and they read like the wind. So for those who care, we submit for your approval/derision some of LitReactor's favorite reads of 2020 (part 3).

There is a longstanding tradition of telling ghost stories on the eve of the winter solstice. Favored folk festivities have brought friends and family around the yule log, spending the longest night of the year enveloped in tales of specters, mischievous fairies, and ancient deities and spirits alike, but while this time of year is a period to entertain and spend time with loved ones, it’s also a time to pause and reflect and get in touch with our shadow selves.

If you follow me on social media you know I love talking about publishing. I love talking about writing because writing is my life, but I also love to talk about publishing. The difference is simple: writing is art, but publishing is a business.

Let's get straight to it. These are some indies that go beyond the ones you hear about all the time, and they have some special offerings that'll help you pick out the right gift. 

Look, sorry guys, but there isn’t enough room for everybody. And we had to set some standards. A lot of bookstores out there are awesome, but they don't offer the services people need to shop at the moment.

Shipping, at least in the U.S., needs to be available.
