How many books did you read in 2019? So I took a reading challenge from @bbbbookclub, and I finished like 30 EFFIN BOOKS omg am so proud of myselllfffff! As always, the challenge seemed so exciting at first, after that, my pace was going slower and I started to stop the reading in the middle of the year.
As the month goes by, I forgot that I have the challenge. Until November. Yes, 2 months before the year ended. I have finished around 15 books in that month. My inner sloth shouted very hard “Calm doooowwwn.. chilll.. You can manage it next year, rittee?” But the Virgo-ness inside me wont give up.

Whoo hoo! 30 books is in da haus, yo! Well ok, I admit that I read several illustration books to meet the target. But hey, they are still damn books.
As for 2020, I wanted to have the same target from 2019, which is 30 books. But some of friends told me that I should make it higher. Lollll, ok then, I make it thirty five! HAPPY NOOOW? :)) As per today (oh hi Valentine’s day!), I already read 11 books. Cool, eh? Hope the pace can be maintained so I can read more books than 35 (hellooo, capt ambitiouuus?).

hmm.. interesting challenge. I’ve thought about it recently. I’ve never read a book. social media always attract me. I should start reading a book (at least) in this year.
Seriously? You’ve never read 1 single book in ur life? Well maybe once, but it’s a coding book, rite? :)) give it a try!
