Happy new year!
For the last two years, I have set goals to push myself to read more. This has resulted in me going from reading between 5 and 8 books per year to almost 200 in the last two years alone. Reading and listening to books has become one of my favorite things to do everyday and I am always looking for new, interesting, and educational books to devour.
Here are the best ones I've read recently that I recommend you add to your reading list for 2020.
