Many of us on the forums read the Bible through in a year and use a devotional calendar/book. Would anyone be willing to share what you are planning to read for 2020? I'd also be interested in hearing your evaluation of the devotionals I'm considering below.
Here are Bible versions that I'm considering for 2020
Here are devotionals I'm considering for 2020
Using adventure and community to challenge young people to continually say "yes" to God
Regarding to the devotionals, I've started with this, actually rereading after some years:

I will be reading a paper copy in the NASB
I wanted a thru the bible in a year with some devotional notes.
This is the first time I have read anything by Charles Stanley and the first time I would have read the whole of the NASB

In the paper copy it is divided 4 daily readings . Not sure how it works in Logos (digital) copy.
I'm looking forward to the New Jerusalem and notes (Wansbrough). I've enjoyed NABRE and its notes for a few years now.

"God will save his fallen angels and their broken wings He'll mend."
Reading CSB, ESV, and NRSV.
I have not picked a devotional yet. I have two days to figure it out still. If I don't pick one in 2 days I will use Lexham Connect the Testaments.
CSB and NIV

I'm continuing with my read through the ESV - but this morning after finishing off my 2019 devotionals I chose the following 2 for 2020:
Pastor Glenn Crouch St Paul's Lutheran Church Kalgoorlie-Boulder, Western Australia
I'm going with Young's Literal Translation & 365 days with Spurgeon vol 1
L4 Bible Study, L5 Reformed Bronze, & L5 Gold, L6 Platinum & Reformed Platinum, L7 Platinum, L8 Baptist Platinum.2015 rMBP 15" 2.2GHz 16GB 256GB SSD, running macOS Mojave iPad Mini 4, iPhone 6.
Great thread.
Im going to be using the Celtic Daily Prayer devotional (Non-Logos) for 2020, having picked it up in November on the recommendation of a friend. Daily readings are from the NRSV so I guess I’ll be using that too! :-) I always want to get my nose into the Clementine Vulgate some more this year as I try and expand my command of Latin.
Carpe verbum.
It will either be Amazing Grace - 366 Inspiriting Hymn Stories or 365 Days with Calvin.
mm.
I am reading the Peshitta New Testament (https://www.logos.com/product/1805/the-peshitta) in combination with the Greek Audio New Testament (https://www.logos.com/product/184688/the-greek-audio-new-testament).
I have just finished The Loins Girded by J.J. Knap (https://www.logos.com/product/804/the-loins-girded) and this year I will be using a similar daily devotional written by several Netherlands Reformed ministers (in paper form). In Logos I am also reading Ratzinger's Co-Workers of the Truth: Meditations for Every Day of the Year (https://www.logos.com/product/25023/co-workers-of-the-truth-meditations-for-every-day-of-the-year)
John C Connell Jr.: "For the Love of God", both volumes simultaneously, (Third time through these two volumes) https://www.logos.com/product/3433/for-the-love-of-god-vol-1-a-daily-companion-for-discovering-the-riches-of-gods-word https://www.logos.com/product/3434/for-the-love-of-god-vol-2-a-daily-companion-for-discovering-the-treasures-of-gods-word
Wow, that says something. I've always appreciated Carson's combination of solid exegesis alongside a tender pastoral approach so this tipped my decision to read this in 2020. John, while I was tempted to read both volumes simultaneously I decided against it since I'm also trying to incorporate reading in Greek and Hebrew and there is only so much time. Instead I plan to do this over two years.
This year I plan on reading the Lexham English Septuagint. I'm really looking forward to it. I actually bought the hard copy so I could experience the feel of a "real book" again.

I'm also going through the Ancient Christian Devotional. I read cycle A a couple years ago and am reading cycle B this year.

Thank you for everyone who responded. I've reflected on my choices for 2020 and here is a summary for those who might be interested.
Of course all of this is Lord willing as our days are in his hands!
In case you may be interested, here is what my layout looks like as I start the year.
I'd be quite interested in hearing what decisions others made, even if you didn't post above. Anyone care to share?
