TIME Magazine

TIME The Year in Review distills 2020 into the most memorable images and stories of the year, from the 2020 Election and Kamala Harris's historic ascent to America's overdue racial awakening and the continued fight against COVID-19. Also included are profiles of the year's biggest names, from Anthony Fauci and José Andrés to Padma Lakshmi, Naomi Osaka, and Bubba Wallace. And we look back on those we lost this year, luminaries like Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Kobe Bryant, John Lewis and more. TIME The Year in Review is a definitive capsule collection of one of the most impactful years of the 21st century.

TIME The Year in Review

Upon glimpsing this magazine cover in Barnes and Noble, my gut reaction was to turn the other way and run. Reliving 2020 in a 100-page magazine didn't seem appealing at all. My sister had a different reaction though, so I returned a week later to purchase her a copy and figured I'd read through it before giving it to her. 

An impressively comprehensive look at this crazy year, Time's "The Year in Review" is a stark reminder that we are living through monumental moments in history - both good and bad. 

Even if you can't stomach reading it this year, my sister was right, it'll be good to have a copy on your bookself when the future generations ask you, "What was it like living in the year 2020?" I definitely intend to pick up another copy for myself!
