Happy New Year 2018.
What I like about new year is that it feels like a fresh beginning, a chance (or at least we fool ourselves into believing it) to forget the mistakes that we did in last year and start a new chapter in life. There’s hope and there’s resolutions. That reminds me the subject of my post.
Resolutions. I have one resolution this year and hope that I stick to it. I’m not good at sticking to something for a long time. I’m keeping it simple, so what I hope to achieve in 2018, is to read more. Yes, that’s it, and given my immense love for books, it should be easy to achieve. I have taken up the Goodreads challenge for 2018 and I am keeping a realistic target of 50 books. What I also want to do is broaden the scope of the books that I read. I usually read books from Crime/Thriller genre and very rarely stray away from this genre.
So I have decided to prepare a reading challenge that will make me explore books from diverse genres. That should make things more interesting, I think. The list was prepared by adapting from the popular Popsugar Reading Challenge and some, I have added my own.
o A book made into a movie you’ve already seen
o True crime/or about a real serial killer
o The next book in a series you started
o A book where the plot is covered in 24-hours
o A book with an animal in the title
o A book with a female author who uses a male pseudonym
o A book that was published in your year of birth
o A book that was published in 2018
o A book that has two authors
o A book you borrowed or that was given to you as a gift
o A classic that you’ve always wanted to read but never got around to reading
o A book that you loved reading when you were a child.
o A book mentioned in another book
o A past Goodreads Choice Awards winner
o A book you meant to read in 2017 but didn’t get to
o A book that will make you laugh out loud
o A book that involves a book store or library
o A book about terrorism
o A book about criminal psychology
o A complete book series
o A book that I’ve not read and has been sitting on my bookshelf for a long time.
So that’s my list. I also intend to cover a short review of the books that I read and plan my to-read pile in the beginning of the month. So, as you can see, this is going to be lot of fun! 2018, here I come J
