A 2020 Resolution done

I set a goal to read one book per month in 2020. 

This goal was so fun. I learned a lot and was inspired often. I wrote some book reviews on my blog, and tracked books read in my bullet journal. 

I read 29 books in 2020!

 

This was possible mostly because of audible. Which accounted for 16 of the books listed below. I love multi tasking, and this list really just proves I did a LOT of laundry in 2020! 😂

This goal also helped me with my other 2020 resolution, which was to find ways to waste less of my resources, like time, food, and money.   Reading more meant I was on Facebook less. I haven’t been on Facebook since General Conference, and I think it’s time to deactivate my account. I don’t miss it. Breaking up with Facebook gave me time to focus on my time on continued education and reports to renew my foster care license, and increase my knowledge in a wide range of study topics  through a spectrum of genres. 

My favorites to inspire were: 

Smart Money Smart Kids 

More than Enough 

These two books were chosen to go with my “less waste” goals, and both books motivated and inspired me to try new ideas, to just go for it, and to draw boundaries about what I consume physically and emotionally. These books filtered what comes in. 

My favorites that were just FUN were: 

Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes 

The Starless Sea

I was swept away by both of these books! The stories were captivating and the writing was excellent. These books lightened me up and were little vacations to escape to at the end of long days. 

Lastly the three favorite books that expanded my brain were

The Call of the Wild and Free

Brave Learner  

Folks this Ain’t Normal 

These books inspired me to get away from what’s “normal” and just do what’s best for my family.
