60 Books for 2020

Updated: Nov 20, 2021

Deon Cecile's 60 for 2020 reader's list

Some very generous, avid readers shared their 2019 best read books with me. I have included them in my 2020 compilation. Let me know your thoughts on the ones you have already read and if you have one(s) you would like to recommend, no problem, write it in the comments...the more the merrier. As George R. R. Martin once said, 'a reader lives a thousand lives before he dies. The man who never reads lives only one.' I want to live many lives before I die so I have a lot of living to go do. Enjoy my friends.

Hi, I am Deon Cecile (Dewar-Gray), a Jamaican Writer, Blogger, and Aspiring Author. I have dedicated this corner of the digital world to celebrating Women Over 40, Wellness, Lifestyle, Organizing, Decluttering, and the Extraordinary in the Everyday. Here, wellness isn't about perfection – it's about progress. Lifestyle isn't about keeping up – it's about showing up authentically. Organizing and Decluttering isn't about throwing out everything or running to buy new storage containers - it's about maintaining the things that bring you peace and joy. 

Every story, every insight, every moment of vulnerability shared here serves one purpose: to Heal, to Inspire, and to Teach. You are exactly where you need to be, with everything you need to flourish, and you are not alone. 


Today, I invite you to spare 5 minutes of your time to interact with my content. There is something here for everyone. Enjoy!
