Oh wow. How is it already and also only April? 2020 has been madness and like a decade rolled into a few months. Now that we’re all self-isolating, I have more time on my hands to power through my 2020 reading list. I thought I’d formally share my list in case anyone else is looking to put Disney+/Hulu/Netflix on pause for a bit.

Reading is supposed to be a pleasure and not a chore. So my yearly reading list is more of roadmap. Sometimes I get to every book and other times I go offroading and venture way off the list. My list is separated into some themes I wanted to cover through the year. However, I will say many of the books fit into more than one of the themes it’s listed under on this post. Let’s get started, bookworms!
