Are You Well Read in Contemporary Books? - Page 4

The classics are wonderful, but there are so many different voices and marginalized groups underrepresented in them. Therefore, I've compiled a huge list of award-winning, bestselling, and talked-about books from the last 20 years in a variety of genres. So many of them are SO GOOD; please check them out if you haven't yet!
