2020 To Be Read

This all might seem a little familiar – an updated list of books on my shelves that I’m keen to read, books incoming from NetGalley, and a back-log of everything else!

My Goodreads Challenge for this year is 60 books – I managed 67 in 2019, so this really should be achievable!

Here are some of the ones I have lined up – I’ll definitely be getting through the NetGalley ones, the older physical ones may take a little longer …

B = book, K = Kindle book, N = NetGalley ARC
