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
