My 2020 Reading List
My 2020 Reading List
While I love to read fiction books (which I have a whole separate list for), this is my list of reads for 2020 that I am going to strive to read to better myself and my business. At the end of the year, I’ll review which books I read and my key takeaways. If you’ve read any of them, I’d love to know your thoughts and remarks! This is a conglomeration of books that have been referred to me by other fellow artists or reads that have had great reviews.

I would LOVE to hear what books you have read in the past or plan to read this year to better yourself and/or your business! This list obviously may change dependent on a recommendation that ‘I just have to read,’ but for now, I am so excited to get to reading, to learning, and to growing!
Until next time,
