NPR's Favorite Books Of 2020: The Book Concierge Is Back With 380+ Great Reads Sing along with me, book lovers — it’s the most wonderful time of the year! That’s right, the NPR Book Concierge is here, and though we say this most years, this year it really is bigger than ever, with more than 380 books (not to mention the 2500+ titles from previous years, all linked up for your browsing pleasure)! As you may know, every year we ask our staffers and critics to submit lists of all their favorite reads; then, we lock ourselves in a succession of meeting rooms (or, this year, a succession of zoom calls) and wrangle their nominations into one big glorious feast of books — all searchable by fun stacking tags like Book Club Ideas, Staff Picks, and Seriously Great Writing. Just click on the tags you’re interested in, and the Concierge will serve up everything that matches those tags. Find your next favorite read So if you want something for your book club that’s funny, has a woman at the center, and isn’t too long, we’ve got you covered (Hillary Leichter’s Temporary). Or maybe a beautiful kids’ book for the little reader in your life? Try I Am Every Good Thing, or We Are Water Protectors. How about a great primer on pies for your pandemic-baking-obsessed friend? I actually ordered my own copy of Pie Academy after coming across it in this year’s list. And of course, our Staff Picks category is always popular, so if you just want to know what Ari Shapiro is reading, (Piranesi, for one), the Concierge is here for you! Last year, you all spent a cumulative EIGHT YEARS browsing the Concierge — so we hope you’ll find this year’s edition just as absorbing.
