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.

What a year!!!
I’ve got to admit that when I wished I had more time to read at the start of the year, I never imagined that I would have lots more time to read thanks to a global pandemic and a nearly six month lockdown here in Melbourne.
I’ve actually managed to read 30 books this year, which is be the most of I have read in a year, since my migraines started in 2002, after my car accident.
Here are the books I read as part of this years reading challenge:
A book recommended by your local library – American Dirt (Jeanine Cummins)

A book starting with the same letter as your first name – The Wife and the Widow (Christian White)
A book with a flower on the cover – Just One Wish (Rachel Johns)
A book written by a first time author – The Silent Patient (Alex Michaelides)
A bestseller from 2019 – Where the Crawdads Sing (Delia Owens)
A book that will improve your life – Me Time (Jessica Sanders)
A book you read when you were in high school – The Outsiders (S.E. Hinton)
A young adult book – A Good Girls Guide to Murder (Holly Jackson)
A book recommended by someone you don’t know – The Last Letter (Rebecca Yaros)
