Reading Roundup Wrapup: January–April 2020

Pick of the months: Bleak House by Charles Dickens. I'm just doing one big wrapup for the past four months because of how little I've read. This was the best of the few books I read during that span: Dickens at his peak, perhaps? I felt this did a good job of merging the all-London mode of novels like Our Mutual Friend with the narrow-bildungsroman mode of novels like Great Expectations. It's really two novels in one, and all the better for it.
