GoodReads Challenge: read 50 books in 2020. NOTE: This list includes books that were FINISHED in 2020, even if I started reading them in 2019. Otherwise I end up with books that are sort of in limbo.

EDIT: Since this year was not great (to say the least), I am hoping to hit 40 books for the year. If I do, I will be happy.
