30 Books Before 30 | 2020
Well I wrote one of these post YEARS ago and when I reread it I thought it was a bit naff and vague. So I wanted to rewrite it where I actually list 30 books I want to read in the next 3 years before my big birthday! Some of these I’m hitting this year and others will have to wait.










- 1984
- Throne of Glass series
- War and Peace
- Everything by Seanan McGuire
- Vicious
- Everything by Fredrik Backman
- All of the Jack Reacher books
- Prisoner of Night and Fog
- The Witcher Series
- Sorcery of Thorns










- Truly Devious
- A Study in Charlotte
- The Sandman
- Saga
- The Color Purple
- The Ten Thousand Doors of January
- The Duke and I
- The Library of the Unwritten
- Cinderella is Dead
- A Sky Beyond the Storm










- The Bear and the Nightingale series
- Romancing the Duke
- The Bromance Book Club
- The Nightingale
- Fall of the Giants
- The Seven Sisters
- The Bone Ships
- A Throne of Swans
- Thorn
- Havenfall

What are some of your bucket list books? Let me know if there are any I should swap out.

This is an interesting idea, I hope you achieve your goal! There are some great-looking books here!
Thank you so much!
I really like this idea of 30 before 30! It would definitely help me prioritise some books over others. Romancing the Duke is on my tbr too and looks so cute
I have so many books on my TBR I definitely needed some way of prioritising so I suppose 3 years is long enough to get 30 books read… maybe. Fingers crossed. <3
Great list – how did you come up with them? I have a plan at the moment to get my TBR down to one shelf, as I will then let myself do more re-reading next year. Not sure that’s going to happen though. I think it requires me to read 36 books just off the shelf (so not the piles, review books or e-books) by the end of the year. Ha!
Oh man, you’ve got so many good books on this list, and I hope you’re able to make it! Vicious was fantastic, and I recommend anything and everything written by Fredrik Backman just on principle. 😛
