Aside from throwing themselves in video games, people have been returning to books as a form of escape from the chaotic year.

If you’re on the lookout for quality reads to bring you into a healthy headspace, the New York Public Library (NYPL) has unveiled its Best Books for the year for adults, teens, kids, and poetry lovers. The lineups were curated by expert librarians after hours of reading through “innovative, vibrant, and relevant books for New Yorkers today.”

According to the library, the top reading picks for grownups were selected to offer escape, help readers learn from the past, place them in scenarios of “futures both dark and bright,” and highlight “the moment we’re in.”

Explore the NYPL’s best 10 books for adults in 2020, and see the full lineups here.
