My To Read right now is absolutely toppling over. I can’t remember the last time I had so many books to read. Mostly this can be attributed to my book buying habit, of which there is no cure. But also it’s gotten so out of hand because I’ve been reading less in 2020 than usual. I’ve been working on the podcast and my book so much (all good things!) plus some travel and general family life, and my brain has been just fried. Books aren’t holding my attention, so I’ve been focusing on quite a bit of nonfiction (where I can’t get lost in a plot, and can put it down for days or weeks at a time and it doesn’t matter).

I’m posting my full To Read list here as a way to stay accountable to reading most of these books over the coming months, and also in case you’re looking for inspiration on something to read.

I shared more about some of these books on the BONUS: My To Read Pile episode of the podcast.

I decided to break down the list into categories. **affiliate links are used in this post
