Today, I’m sharing my 2020 reading list!
Ever since high school, I’ve made it a goal of mine to read 12 books a year; one book for each month. In 2019, I only read four books but this year, I’ve been intentional about accomplishing this goal. I’m happy to say I’ve read 7 books from my list this year.
I decided to shift my focus away from self-help books. I love a good self-help book and I have read so many that have changed my life, but I began to feel like I wasn’t giving myself the time to implement the knowledge into my everyday life. So instead of reading 12 self-help books this year, I chose to mix up my reading list. Other than self-help books, I love romance, drama, and true crime novels. I love getting lost in a good book and wake up not realizing hours have passed.
I’ve also incorporated audiobooks into my reading. I used to think listening to audiobooks didn’t really count as “reading”, but I was wrong. Since I commute two hours a day to work, listening to audiobooks on Audible has become a part of my commute routine. I typically read two books at a time, one on Audible and one physical copy.
Here’s my 2020 reading list:
