Hello,
This year, I decided not join any Reading Challenge just so I don't have to track anything or such. I guess that's just me being lazy and not trying to actually commit myself to anything. Instead of joining individual challenges, I decided to just place everything in here. At the very least, I'm in control of what I want to achieve and not just read a certain something (unless I join every reading challenge possible).
I want a little bit of everything which is why I decided to just create my personal reading challenge instead of tediously joining every challenge available and updating everything once or every other month. I started my Book Journal this year so that will help me track everything I'll be reading this year along as well as this challenge.

I'm being strict on my mystery novels but that's just me being specific. I'd love to get around so many genres this year. I'll most likely update this for the next couple of months if more interesting challenges pops up in my mind. If you have any suggestions, I'd like to consider adding them :) And if there are authors you highly recommend I should read but have never done so, just comment away and I'll consider them.
