Bitchreads November 2020

During a hectic and unforgiving election season—one underscored by a massive uptick in coronavirus hospitalizations and deaths—it was difficult for so many of us, myself included, to focus on leisure reading. After all, minute-by-minute election results kept me glued to the TV for more than weeks and turning away for even a minute made me feel as if I'd miss something crucial. Now that Joe Biden is the president-elect, Kamala Harris is the vice president-elect, and their transition team has announced a COVID-19 taskforce full of physicians and public-health experts, it feels as if I can focus again—and I hope this is true for our readers too.
