20 Books to Read in 2020

January 6, 2020

Happy new year, y’all! I just typed out “2020” and it hit me that I am getting on up there in age. I mean I remember – like REALLY remember – the millennium and what a big deal it all was. That was 20 years ago. Holy cow. Anyways… This is always one of my favorite posts to write every year (and your’s, too). I am a sucker for a good book list and have a growing list of books that I want to read in my notes on my phone. One of my favorite things to do is to research new books that are coming out in the new year to add to that growing list. Here are 20 books to read in 2020.

Books to Read:

Clothes and Other Things That Matter by Alexandra Shulman – If you enjoy non-fiction or are into fashion, this book is for you! Written by the former editor of British vogue, this book explores the meaning of clothes and why/how we wear them. I am so excited to read this one! I’ll link it as soon as I can.

American Dirt by Jeanine Cummins – This is already being talked about as a new American Classic. Buy it here.

Darling Rose Gold by Stephanie Wrobel – I am not sure if I want to read this one yet or not, but I have seen it everywhere. It is about a troubled mother-daughter relationship and has a dark context. I do not normally read things like this, but it is supposed to be really good if you are into this sort of novel. Buy it here.

A Hundred Suns by Karin Tanable – If you love historical fiction, this one is for you! It comes out in April. Preorder it here.

All The Ways We Said Goodbye by Beatriz Williams, Lauren Willig and Karen White – yes, you read that right. Three authors, one novel! This one is set in Paris and about three generations of women living at different times in the same area and how their lives collide. I am very excited to read this one! It comes out on the 14th! Buy it here.

The Upside of Being Down by Jen Gotchu – this non-fiction book is by the founder of ban.do. It is all about how her struggles with mental illness led to her greatest successes in work and life. Buy it here.

Little Fires Everywhere by Celeste Ng – I just started this one, myself. It came out last year, but it has amazing reviews and I’ve had it recommended to me by many friends in my personal life as well. I’m excited to dive into it more. Buy it here.

It Started With A Secret by Jill Mansell – This looks like the perfect beach read for the summer! Preorder it here.

Meg and Jo by Virginia Kantra – Who likes Chick lit? This is a sweet story about four sisters coming together during their mother’s illness. It came out last month. Buy it here.

The Giver of the Stars by Jojo Moyes – I have read several Jojo novels and absolutely loved every single one. I am excited for this new release. Buy it here.

Miracle Creek by Angie Kim – When I heard about this being similar to Liane Moriarty’s books, I was sold. I already have it sitting in my Amazon cart as we speak. I love a good mystery novel. Buy it here.

Risen Motherhood by Emily Jensen and Laura Wifler – One of you recommended this to me on Instagram and I have really enjoyed it over the last few months. It is a good one to gift to a sister or friend as well as for yourself to read. It is so encouraging to mothers. Buy it here.

The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes by Suzanne Collins – This is an anticipated novel by many. This book takes place before the Hunger Games, so if you were into the trilogy, this is a must read this year! Buy it here.

The Two Lives of Lydia Bird by Josie Silver – Another great Chick lit option! Buy it here.

All Adults Here by Emma Straub – A warm and funny novel all about the messiness of a big family. Buy it here.

The Lies That Bind by Emily Giffin – I have read every single Emily Giffin book and absolutely love novels. I am really looking forward to reading this one this summer on a beach somewhere. Preorder it here.

Such a Fun Age by Kiley Reid – This novel is centered around race and privilege and the story sounds like one I won’t be able to put down. It is also on Reese’s book club list this year and just released last week! Buy it here.

Red At The Bone by Jacqueline Woodson – This book is less than 200 pages but covers so much in this short novel. It is an instant bestseller and on Oprah’s book list! Buy it here.

And just like every year, I am ending with a classic, except because two of my all-time favorite classic novels are being made into movies this year, I am including them both. Make sure to read Emma by Jane Austen and The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett before they hit the big screen!

19 Books to Read in 2019

January 14, 2019

This is one of my most popular posts every year and I absolutely love putting it together for 2 reasons. 1. Because it makes me research new books releasing this year and some old titles I may have missed out on and 2. Because it gets me so excited to read again! I didn’t do a great job of reading last year as I mentioned in this post, but I am hoping to turn that around. I see many nursing sessions and summer travels in my future, so I plan to take advantage of that time to read. I also recently discovered audio books… you mean that’s been a thing? Well, not to me. I am as loyal as they come to the real thing. I love books, but my lifestyle tells me audio books are the only way I’m getting all of these read this year. So, here we go! 19 books (or more) to read in 2019…

Best New Books To Read This Fall

October 15, 2018

Over the last few weeks, I’ve been in search for the best new books to read this fall! I’m so excited about every single one of these that have recently released or will be over the next couple of weeks! These are some of my very favorite authors and I am probably most excited to read  Kate Morton’s newest book that just came out last week! I got it in the mail over the weekend and am so excited to dive in as she is by far one of my favorite authors. I’ve read all of her books and they are all amazing and leave me stunned every time. She is amazing at fooling you and then fooling you again until you are so confused as to who the villain is until the end. It is truly fun and exciting to read a book by her.

Many of these are based on real people or they are spinoffs from older classics and you guys know how I love my classics! Liane Moriarty also has a book coming out in a couple of weeks that I am so excited to read. She is another favorite of mine (who wrote What Alice Forgot).

Spring Break is the perfect excuse to sleep in (if you don’t have kids)  and read as much as you want to or catch up on books you’ve been lingering on forever. I always take advantage of time in the car or when the kids are napping to dive into a good novel. I’ve listed some great vacation books below: some I have read, some are new releases!

18 Books You Should Read 2018

January 8, 2018

This continues to be one of my favorite posts to write every year and one of my top-performing posts as well, which means you guys love it, too! That makes me so happy and makes it that much more fun to put together! Last year I did not have a lot of time to read. If I’m being honest, I only finished one book all year. Pathetic. So, this year, I have already cracked the books, done my research and put together this list of books you simply must read this year! Cheers to reading ALL the books in 2018!

First up…

I just started First Comes Love by Emily Giffin. It is so good so far and I am falling in love with the characters. I started it last year, but life and kids happened, so I put it down and never picked it back up. I started it again over the weekend and I love it! So, I am adding it to my list. She is, after all, one of my favorite authors.
