20 Books On My Shelves I’d Like to Read in 2020

After taking a look at the unread books sitting on my bookshelves, I thought it would be fun to compile a list of 20 titles that I’d most like to pick up in 2020.

This isn’t a super strict TBR list that I’m going to absolutely hold myself to out of fear of punishment from the bookshelf gods. Instead, I’m hoping it will be a helpful reminder if I’m at a loss for what to read next.

Note: These are all books I own physical copies of and they are listed below in alphabetical order by author’s last name

Do you spy any favorites? Are there books you’d like to see me pick up sooner rather than later? Are any of these also on your 2020 TBR list?
