Earlier this week I posted about 15 new releases I want to read in 2020 – but I definitely have a long list of backlist titles I want to get to, as well. New releases can be fun, especially when they’re super hyped online, but backlist titles also hold a lot of merit and I think it’s important to keep up with a mix of old and new titles. Below are 20 books released BEFORE 2020 that I want to make a priority to get to next year!

Have you read any of these books? Have I been missing out having not read them yet, or could I skip them to make way for 2020 new releases?
This is a great list! I should do something like this for myself, too.
