The 2020 Fall Reading Guide Minimalist Reads List

The first annual BiblioLifestyle Fall Reading Guide is finally here, and I’m super excited for it to be out in the world!  Since childhood, fall has always been my favorite season.  I have fond memories of cozying up under a blanket with my book or sitting under my favorite apple tree reading in the cooler weather.

About The 2020 Fall Reading Guide

The 2020 Fall Reading Guide has twenty-six new releases and six classic novels.  All books are categorized so that you can head straight to your favorite section.  Because we’re all about lifestyle here, you’ll also find fun things to do at home, along with fall-themed recipes.  I’ve also included some reading tips.

The 2020 Fall Reading Guide Minimalist List

In the guide, we have dedicated one category to the “minimalist reader.”  Our Minimalist Reads list has six titles that we highly recommend if you’re only planning to pick up a few reads this Fall!

It’s super hard narrowing an initial list of hundreds of books down to a third of the size and then narrowing them down to our top six.  You can expect these reads to be across genres, beautifully written, compelling, thought-provoking, enjoyable, and great for discussions.
