So I know its already March now but I finally ended up joining the Goodreads Reading Challenge! I came up with the ambitious goal of reading 500 books this year and I’m not really sure whether I’ll be changing that goal….
I feel like reading is less fun when its constrained by things like genre or number and that’s why I don’t plan on reading a certain number of books each week to reach my goal. (I’m actually just going to use the reading challenge to measure the amount of books I read this year!) Anyway, I thought this might be a fun way to track the books I read and I’ve never tried the Goodreads Reading Challenge before.
So that’s really all for this week….I’ve been feeling sick for the last few days so I’m going to be taking a break from blogging and writing and just focusing on getting better (and finishing my homework).
I hope you feel better!

Feel better soon, Rachana! And wow, 500 books is a huge goal! I usually just set a hundred books every year and it’s more too keep track of the books than an actual goal. 😉

I see what you mean. My case is different because my favourite genre is fantasy, and I’ve been reading less since I’ve been at uni, so making myself read mainly fantasy is more of an encouragement than a chore. My other two challenges are to read more series’ and more books on my TBR pile (and stop buying new books that’ll only sit on my shelf for months!) and so far it’s going okay.
Very best of luck for your reading challenge – 500 books!!! That is unbelievable. I really hope you make it. My goal is 52 because I just got a new job working full time, so one book a week is pretty much all I can manage – especially if it’s a huge fantasy book!

I love reading fantasy too but I also like sci-fi and realistic fiction. Oh yes, I know what you mean. I have so many books on my TBR pile but I’ll just randomly go and buy a couple more books. Good luck to you too! 🙂 Well as long as you’re loving what you’re reading right?
