As I’ve been reflecting back on 2020 one thing that I’ve realized is that I haven’t read as much as I was hoping that I would. I also realized that a lot of the reason I’m not reading is because of lack of planning.
So I decided to create myself a reading list and at least read the two books that I’ve listed here for each month. I think this will help me read more because I can plan and get the books in advance (whether that be buying used, borrowing from the library, or just purchasing it on my Kindle).
Once I have the books, I’m more likely to choose to read over picking up my phone or watching TV. So here are the 24 books I’m going to try to focus on this year. Have you read any? Are there any books that I’m missing that I should read this year? I’d love to hear from you!
