The Reading Challenge Group discussion

After 1 year of complete absence in any bookish community I'm actually quiet nervous to open this topic, BUT after taking a year off I'm now ready to challenging myself by reading more genres etc. than I used to :-)

There is a chance that I might only join the TBR shelf related challenges this year though as I really need to tackle that shelf of 60 unread books.

As for bookish Goals in general: I'm not heading for any set numbre of books. The more the better. I want to try and get all those 60 books read, but as there are some real chunksters... we will see. I also want to try and reread at least 1 book a month as well as (re)read some mangas.

Sounds good Alessandra! Wishing you the best of luck clearing your shelves and above all I hope you’ll have an amazing reading year!!

Thank you Susy :D

Glad you’re here, Alessandra!

Good luck on your challenges, Alessandra.

Thank you to you both & good luck on your challenges as well :D

I (finally) remembered that I have this topic and decided to update it :')
I'm not too sure if I will be counting the mangas I read (& will be reading) - I'm currently debating with myself if I could/should count them for the cereal challenge... we will see. For now I'll just keep track of them in the 50 books challenge...

So to sum up my reading so far this year:

- New To You In 2018: Level One -> accomplished, Level Two -> accomplished
- Read in January: 5 books, 7 mangas
