During 2020 my goal was to read at least 30 books and I ended up finishing with 31! I wanted to share a list of them with you al! Reading used to be something I never enjoyed and something that wasn’t a priority but over the last year I have learned to love it. I would love to hear any of your book suggestions to add to this years list! I put my favorites in bold!
