I am publicly posting my 2020 reading list so that I’m more motivated to actually read all of the books on my list. That can be a real struggle for me. Does anyone else feel that way, or is it just me?
Anyway, check out my list below, and feel free to add any other book suggestions in the comments section. I’m open to pretty much anything!
The Rest of the Story
By Sarah Dessen
440 pages
Release Date: June 2019
I don’t think it’s possible for Sarah Dessen to write a bad book, so I’m obviously going to read her newest release.
Things in Jars
By Jess Kidd
373 pages
Release Date: February 2020
A mysterious historical fantasy set in Victorian London, with a strong female protagonist?! Yassssss!
Anna K.
By Jenny Lee
448 pages
Release Date: March 3, 2020
I’ve never read Anna Karenina, and I’ve never seen the movie. All I know is the book is crazy long. So long, I have avoided reading it my whole life. Lucky for me, Jenny Lee has graced us with a retelling of the classic story, and this book is a lot shorter. I’m not kidding, this book is 500 pages shorter than Anna Karenina…
The Killer Across The Table
By John Douglas
352 pages
Release Date: May 2019
After reading Mindhunter, how could I not read John Douglas’s newest true crime book? Since I’m still processing Mindhunter, I might have to wait a little bit before I get started on this one.
What You Wish For
By Katherine Center
320 pages
Release Date: July 14, 2020
I have read two of Katherine Center’s novels, Things You Save in a Fire and How to Walk Away, both are great books. Her next book, What You Wish For won’t be released until July 14, 2020, so you could say the anticipation is killing me.
Sadie
By Courtney Summers
308 pages
Release Date: September 2018
Sadie’s just a girl who’s trying to uncover the truth behind her sister’s murder. Then there’s the guy following her journey on his true-crime podcast.
You Deserve Each Other
By Sarah Hogle
368 pages
Release Date: April 7, 2020
First, they like each other, so they get engaged. Then, they don’t like each other…then they like each other again? Talk about complicated, am I right?
A Woman is No Man
By Etaf Rum
336 pages
Release Date: March 2019
A 2019 release from debut author, Etaf Rum. This book peers into the conservative Arab culture through a woman’s point of view.
The Sun Down Motel
By Simone St. James
336 pages
Release Date: February 18, 2020
What do you get when you put a deep-seated family mystery, ghosts, murder, and a creepy old motel together? You get The Sun Down Motel…and you also get Psycho kind of.
Little Women
By Louisa May Alcott
449 pages
Release Date: September 1868
Believe it or not, this book isn’t about tiny women, it’s about sisterhood. I’m hoping I’ll understand the little part when I read the book.
All The Bright Places
By Jennifer Niven
378 pages
Release Date: January 2015
A teen drama/romance that’s soon to be a movie! I’m thinking this book is on The Fault in Our Stars level, which means I will be reading this with a tissue box and possibly lots of comfort food.
Before She Knew Him
By Peter Swanson
309 pages
Release Date: March 2019
I read the description of this book and immediately thought of Desperate Housewives. A suburban couple living in the suburbs, possibly living next door to a murderer? Sign me up!
Evvie Drake Starts Over
By Linda Holmes
289 pages
Release Date: June 2019
Evvie Drake starts over with the help of a hunky baseball player, so obviously I’m excited to read this book.
Harry Potter Series
By J.K. Rowling
309 pages
Release Date: June 1997
Have I already read this series multiple times? Yes. Does that matter? No, it does not.
A Discovery of Witches
By Deborah Harkness
579 pages
Release Date: February 2011
All I know is some witch opens an old book in a library and all hell breaks loose. There also may or may not be a vampire love interest…
Daisy Jones & the Six
By Taylor Jenkins Reid
355 pages
Release Date: March 2019
Daisy Jones & the Six tells a raw and captivating tale of a fictional seventies band. Plus, Reese Witherspoon is making it into an Amazon series so…(hence Reese’s book club sticker).
That’s what I’ve got on my list so far! I’m equally excited to read all of these books, so I’m not sure where to start first. Obviously, I won’t be starting with the books that haven’t been released yet, unless I manage to get copies ahead of time.
If you’ve already read any of the books on my list, I want to know what you thought, so please comment 🙂
Happy Reading!!
