Best of The Bookies 2020
Each year we ask our staff to pick the books they've loved the most this year (we allow entries all the way back to September of the year before). This year we have a lovely list of books from every age range and our favorite game of the year! To see the full list, CLICK HERE, and below you can find some of our most chosen picks by our staff.
This important graphic novel continues to be on the 'Top of 2020' lists for everyone, including multiple members of our staff. Bonus points for being illustrated by local artist Lily Williams.
One of the biggest books of the year that began selling out during the tragic summer of 2020. An important followup for a younger audience to Kendi's Stamped From the Beginning. Make sure to find the educator guide HERE, and continue this important discussion on what is happening in America, and how we got to this point.
What is real? What is fake? Were these questions you thought 2020 would bring? Probably. Either way, help the kids in your world, and honestly, maybe some adults, start to understand what an opinion is, versus what a fact is, with these fun robot characters! Don't sleep on this book. It's more vital than you think.
Introducing Myrtle Hardcastle, your favorite new amateur detective: a wickedly smart twelve-year-old with a keen interest in criminology and a nose for murder.
There is a lot of controversy around this book, to be sure. While the discussions on race, experience and appropriation are vital, the book was one of the best selling novels of the year and, without question, well-written.
Guide your frogs across the pond and block other players from doing the same. The first player to get their entire frog family to the other side wins the game. But watch out, the fish can scare your frogs back to the start! Flexible thinking, clever planning and the chance to thwart your opponents make this a fun and exciting game for two to six players.

Are you ready for Jolabokaflod? It's less than two weeks away! Jolabokaflod translates roughly to "Yule book flood" and is a traditional Icelandic holiday that is celebrated during Yuletide, Christmas, or winter festival. On December 24 Icelanders exchange a gift of a book and settle in with chocolate, in some delicious form, to read the rest of the night away. It's a perfect tradition for Christmas Eve in America too! So make sure to shop The Bookies before time runs out to have your very own Book Flood!
