Reading List 2020

books-knowledge-education-office

Since 2015, I’ve had a standing yearly goal to read one book per week, or 52 books for the year. In 2019, I finally did it (woohoo!). My 2020 goal is to not only read enough books, but to also read books that have some kind of meaning and depth. I’d love to have at least half of the year’s reads be non-fiction, and in some way oriented towards my personal growth.
