I'm glad you were able to start this challenge, it's a good incentive for all readers. I love reading, it is and should be the goal of all of us who write, educators, those of us who want to cultivate our knowledge and enrich our vocabulary every day, but sometimes we need a 48-hour day to accomplish so many things, including reading more.
Last year I don't think I reached even 8 books completed, I only completed some books on pause from previous years, read completely about three new ones, and started many that are paused at the moment.
I like your challenge, it's wonderful. And many congratulations for that achievement in January, I didn't read any that month, and now I'm finishing one of the many that were on pause.
Greetings!
Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts! And yesss, I agree that it is so hard to find time to read amidst all the things we need to do!
That's why i am so happy i got to read a lot again!
Hope you'll get to finish reading something this year!
