2020 Reading List
"Reading is essential for those who seek to rise above the ordinary." ~ Jim Rohn
'Tis once again the season of nerding out and reflecting on our reading list from the past 12 months 🤘🏼
2020 — in all its chaotic glory — saw us read a total of 25 books, which, super encouragingly, is up 25% on our number from 2019.
Perhaps due to the year that was, six of the 25 were in the #spirituality category (no doubt for that much needed surrender) while another six fell into the #finance category (no doubt for that much needed security).
For ease of perusal, here's the full list ordered alphabetically (by author's first name) and tagged by category (ours, not the author's).
