The Roaming Reader's World Cup of Books 2020

During November 2020 the award winning bookstagrammer, The Roaming Reader (www.instagram.com/TheRoamingReader) held the fourth World Cup Of Books. The books listed below were submitted by her followers to take part in the competition, recommended as the books that changed their lives, the books that offered inspiration and comfort and the books that they would recommend above all others. We could all do with a little more comfort and serenity during this tumultuous year, so I hope you can use this list to help you find that.
