2020 Reading List
I decided to make a list earlier this year of all the books sitting on my bookshelf that I still need to read and/or finish. Kind of as a way to hold myself accountable and have a better visualization of how much I’ve read. I’m now posting it here because I love seeing what everyone is reading and thoughts on books, so be sure to leave a comment about books you want to read or recommendations! I also have a very wide range of types of books I read.
I’ve bolded books that I’ve read so far. Another thing I’ve decided this year, is it’s ok to not finish a book. I used to feel really bad about starting a book and then not finishing it. But I’ve realized its not worth forcing myself to finish a book that’s not resonating or entertaining me. So for that reason, I’ll put a * next to books I went back to but didn’t end up finishing.
