How to Create a Reading List for 2020
Reading for pleasure and to meet your goals for the next year.
This is one of my favorite days of my favorite week of the whole year. Today I’m creating my reading list for 2020.
I do this a little differently every year.
Some years, I’m very focused on fiction. Like when I was in my MFA program. Not only was I super, hyper-focused on fiction those years, I also was guided by my program and its mentors and requirements.
Some years, I’m very focused on my goals. Like the year that I started Ninja Writers. That year, practically everything I read had to do with starting and growing an online business.
This year, I’m feeling a little bit of a mix. I’m a full year away from my MFA and I miss pleasure reading fiction. It’s been a while. I want to get back to reading stories just because I love them.
I also have some goals that I want to have reflected in my reading list.
I don’t over plan my reading list. Sometimes, I don’t even read half the books on it. It’s more of a suggestion than chiseled in stone. Reading is supposed to be a pleasure, not a chore, you know?
Here’s my method for choosing books and some that are on my list.
