The Most Read Books of the 2020 Reading Challenge
We all want to spend more time lost in the pages of great books. That's the idea behind our annual Goodreads Reading Challenge! It's simple: Every January readers set a goal of how many books they want to read that year, and we help them keep track of it. This year more than 4 million readers have joined the Challenge, pledging to read a total of 237 million books!
Now that we're halfway through the year, we thought it would be fun to see which books have been the most read of the 2020 Challenge. Below you'll find those books listed in order of popularity. So far this year, we're seeing a strong return to the classics and beloved favorites, with the boy wizard taking the lead among the Challenge takers.
By the way: It's not too late to set a reading goal or even edit your current Challenge! Check out the list below and get inspired to read more books this summer.

My favorite read this year is
It was BRILLIANT
Is there a list like this for the end of 2020? Not just midyear like in previous years?!

I have them all on Audible—I love Jim Dale reading them to me!
I have read 18 from the list above. My favorite beach read this year is Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir, author of The Martian. So fun! Yes, it’s science but it’s simply explained. It is just a joy! The humor is constant. Ray Porter is the perfect narrator! Relistened to it cause I just didn’t want to let the characters go! Now I am reading the hard copy!
Ha! So have I :-)
