Winter Booklist 2020
A good booklist keeps me reading throughout the year and it helps me make sure I read a nice variety of literature. Otherwise, I might just stick with mystery books all year long.
While I accomplished a ton of reading over the summer with my summer 2019 booklist, I was a bit overzealous with my list for autumn 2019.
I am hopeful that the dark nights of the winter will lend themselves to more cozy book reading so I can accomplish the books on my list…and maybe more!

Finding Time to Read
How do you find time to read your own books?
I hear this question a lot because it is hard for busy homeschooling moms to find a quiet moment to read. I’ve put together some of my best tips so you can make time to read.
Winter Booklist: Book Club Titles
My booklist included titles for my local book, a few online book clubs I check out (Reese Witherspoon, Oprah, Kate Bowler, etc), suggestions from friends, and suggestions from my readers.
The Testaments by Margaret Atwood
Braving the Wilderness by Brene Brown
Winter Booklist: Fiction
One Day in December by Josie Silver
Giovanni’s Room by James Baldwin
Red at the Bone by Jacqueline Woodson
Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie: a Flavia de Luce Mystery by Alan Bradley
The Snow Child by Eowyn Ivey
Winter Booklist: Non-Fiction
Miracles and Other Reasonable Things by Sarah Bessey
Thoughts after reading: This one is a conversational, personal, faith memoir. It was a quick read for me because I was enjoying it so much. I love how Sarah lives in the tension of belief vs her own experiences.Â
Bad Feminist: Essays by Roxane Gay
Leaving Church: A Memoir of Faith by Barbara Brown Taylor
Maybe You Should Talk to Someone: A Therapist, HER Therapist, and Our Lives Revealed by Lori Gottlieb
Winter Booklist: If There is More Time
These titles are basically record keeping in case I have additional reading time. So many great books were recommended and I don’t want to lose track:
1. Evvie Drake Starts Over by Linda Holmes
2. The Giver of Stars by JoJo Moyes
3. Talking to Strangers: What We Should Know About the People We Don’t Know by Malcolm Gladwell
4. How to Raise an Adult: Break Free of the Overparenting Trap and Prepare Your Kid for Success by Julie Lythcott-Haims
5. A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness
