Book Recommendations from 2020

This is a list of the best books that I have read in the year 2020. As always, not all of the books on this list are new, in fact many are old but all are recommended by me if you are looking for something to good to read.

I always try to read a variety of books and it seems that this year I was on a self help book kick. In the past, I have usually read one a month but this year I went above and beyond. While I did read a lot of self help books the topics were fairly broad as were the genres of the other books that I did read.

This year I just made it to my book reading goal, which is amazing considering I also spent my time renovating my entire house. Surprisingly, I didn't read any books about renovating. Maybe in the new year. For the lack of time I had I read a few summary of books, which I found to save some time when written well.

Hopefully next year is full of wonderful books that I will be able to share again with you. Please enjoy the list and read any of these books recommended.
