The 2nd Edition of Votes of Confidence for 2020 got an excellent starred review from Booklist, the magazine of the American Library Association (ALA). For the end of the year, the magazine put out a special issue of all its starred books – the books that receive its highest recommendation – for 2020, and made the issue free for nonsubscribers. Great gift ideas, and a wonderful look back on the quality books published this year.
