If you’ve been following me for a while, you will know that my daughter LOVES to read.
She showed a love of reading from a very young age and now that she is 12, she’s churning through books faster than I am.
As she’s gotten older, I’ve found it increasingly harder to find great books for tweens that are age appropriate. There seems to be a fine line between being suitable for 10-12 year olds and then suitable for teens (15+).
…
I’ve got a pile of books next to my bed that never seems to get any smaller AND a list of books a mile long on Goodreads that I’ve been meaning to read for a long time. I figure that if I make a commitment here to read some of these books, then I will do it. So, here are 10 books I cannot wait to read in 2020.
I’m hoping some of these books will count towards my 2020 Reading Challenge that I published last month. PS. It’s not too late to join the challenge, so check it out.

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 set myself this same challenge last year and I didn’t quite get through the list as I some of the books I read in my book club, didn’t meet any of the criteria that I had listed (didn’t plan that very well, did I?)
However, I did manage to read 14 books in 2018, which was a pretty good effort, considering I am a chronic migraine sufferer.
Anyway, this year I am determined to read all the books in the challenge as well as additional books in my book club.

Now, before we get started, I have a confession to make. I set myself this same challenge last year and I did not complete it. In fact, I did not even come close to completing it. My migraines were a little out of control last year and I started a new job (not great excuses, I know), so I only read six books all year and only three of them met the challenge criteria.
However, I recently started a book club – my first ever – and it has really rekindled my love of reading and the importance of making time to do the things I love.
