I was talking with my mother about some of the books I loved as a kid and discovered that many of them are out of copyright and thus available in large, cheap omnibus editions on Kindle.

Normally when I get a collection I list the individual books instead of the collection since I also use these journal entries to track which books I've bought. (Yes, I know, I need a proper database.) But the Thornton Burgess collection includes 37 books, and I didn't want to make everyone read through that list. I'll just have to remember that I have basically all of his books now.

Also in this list are the rest of the 2020 Hugo nominees for best novel, since I again plan on reading the whole nomination list this year.
