One of my goals this year is to read the print books that have been sitting on my bookshelves for ages. I signed up for The Unread Shelf Project to help me stick to this and fall into my usual trap of constantly borrowing books from the library or buying random books that catch my interest and stacking them at the top of my TBR pile.

Here are twenty books that have been sitting on my bookshelf for months or years, and that I’m planning to finally read in 2020.
