What I Read in 2020

Hey ya’ll, it’s been a while.

2020 was something (I am positive you will agree), so we spent most of the year surviving and trusting in the Lord’s plan. I will say, He SHOWED UP, and He made a way. I could not be any more thankful for the Lord’s daily provision! Maybe I’ll type up a 2020 recap post and share all the things, but this one is reserved for sharing all the books I read in 2020 and some that I am looking forward to reading in this new year!

My goal for 2020 was to read 2 books per month (or 24 books), and I am happy to say that I did reach my goal of reading 24 books! I DID NOT read 2 books a month, and as a matter of fact, I literally read my last book all night on New Years Eve just so I could add my 24th book and make my goal.

Disclaimer: A good handful of these books are ones that I read with my kids as read alouds. I counted them as my “books read” because I spent time reading these with my kiddos instead of reading other books by myself.

Here are my Top 5 Faves + Why I Loved Them

1. The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry – John Mark Comer
   I loved this book, it was perfect timing to read this during the beginning of the pandemic quarantine!
2. Grumpy Mom Takes a Holiday – Valerie Woerner
   I totally plan on reading this one again this year!
3. Tosca Lee’s The Line Between and A Single Light
   Fiction books! It was weird to read pandemic books during a pandemic, but I love Tosca Lee’s books so I loved these.
4. The Hunger Games series. I read all of them, including the new one that released in 2020!
5. Last, but not least, I loved reading through the CSB Day to Day Chronological Bible, it totally helped me see the timeline of history clearer by reading through the Bible in time order!
