Calling all book lovers! I’ve set myself a reading challenge for 2020 and I’d love for you to join me.
I know what it’s like to be a busy mum (ie not have much time for reading), so I’ll only include 12 books in the challenge. However, I’ll include an additional six books for those of you who will have no problem smashing through 12 books in one year.
As a chronic migraine sufferer, I don’t get to read as often as I’d like too but I’m pretty happy that I managed to read 17 books throughout 2019. For this year, I’m aiming to read 20 books.
See how I went in my 2019 reading challenge here.
I can’t wait to get started on this challenge and hopefully find some new favourites that I just can’t put down.

Love your options list!
I’ve started strong this yea -a lready knocked 5 off – including a book I meant to read in 2019 (Crawdads) and a book being made into a movie (Big Little Lies) and a favourite author (Kellerman, not great but I enhaled his Delaware series in my youth,.. forgive me lol). This time last year I was at zero so happy to plug away with some different options from your list.
