20 Books of 2020
I’ve talked over and over again about how I have always been an avid reader. After having kids, reading definitely got put on the back burner and I have been going through books way more slowly. But this year, between a pandemic (and a lot more time spent at home), the kids finally getting on a good, synchronized schedule, and putting all the boundaries in place when it comes to working from home, I finally managed to meet (and surpass!!) the reading goal I had set for myself. I set the bar low at the start of the year – one book a month. And I ended up reading that amount from June to August alone! I ended up reading twenty books this year, and I am pretty proud of myself!
Some of the books I wrote reviews for on the blog, others I didn’t. If I wrote a review, I’m linking it, if I didn’t, the link will take you to my affiliate link on Amazon. I’m listing them all below – my top three are the first three, everything else is in no particular order!
