This year, I’ve shared several of my books on Instagram. To wrap up the year, I decided to create a list of all of the books I’ve read in 2020. It turns out that there are 20!
This is my “20 Books of 2020” list. I decided to create a visual for each by sharing a select quote from each book that I’ve read this year.
I hope that you enjoy it!
