My 2020 Reading List

My to-read pile is ever-growing. Working in a library has made my usual to-read pile triple in size. I’m constantly seeing books that I want to read. I figured I would share what I am planning to read this year (so far) in case you need some ideas. Please also note that I haven’t read any of these, so I cannot speak to whether I recommend them or not.

Non-Fiction:
The Life-Giving Home by Sally & Sarah Clarkson
Uninvited by Lysa Terkeurst
When Less Becomes More by Emily Ley
The Girl For the Job by Jess Connolly
The Life Giving Parent by Clay & Sally Clarkson
Capital Gaines by Chip Gaines
Simplicity Parenting by Kim John Payne
Awakening Wonder by Sally Clarkson
How to Raise a Wild Child by Scott D. Sampson (read with discernment)
Bringing up Girls by James Dobson


Fiction:
The Giver of Stars by Jojo Moyes
Meg & Jo by Virginia Kantra
Lilac Girls by Martha Hall Kelly
Lost Roses by Martha Hall Kelly
Anne of Green Gables by L. M. Montgomery
The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah
The Little Cafe in Copenhagen by Julie Caplin (the whole series looks cute!)
The Printed Letter Bookshop by Katherine Reay
The Heir Affair by Heather Cocks and Jessica Morgan (I loved The Royal We.)
The Start of Me and You by Emery Lord
The Bookish Life of Nina Hill by Abbi Waxman
Me Before You by Jojo Moyes

This is just my list to start the year off. My goal is to read 50 books this year. You can see what I’m currently reading and my “shelf” on Goodreads. I tend to pick up several of the newer novels or most popular checkouts at the library and read them also. When you get asked for book recommendations or opinions, it is nice to be able to give an answer.
