2021 Reading Challenge!

Posted On January 2, 2021

Hello Readers! It has been so much fun to write & share 7 posts in a row! If you haven’t checked my 21 Things to do in 2021, go read it now! Maybe you will find the inspiration you need. And, now coming to my 2021 Reading Challenge! I had made a very tough list for my 2020 Reading Challenge. As you know, my goal was to read 52 books in 52 weeks from 52 different categories. After setting such a difficult task, it kind of took away the fun of actually reading a book, because I had to adhere to those 52 categories. This is the main reason why I have given myself some freedom & made a challenge based on genres. Check it out below! And, if you like it, go ahead and make this your 2021 Reading Challenge as well!

~~10 BOOKS~~

Because Historical Fiction is my favourite genre, I am sure I will have no problem in reading 10 books there. And, because I love reading one book in a day, I have decided to read 10 thriller novels. Hopefully, I will choose good ones here, because a lot of them are always predictable.

~~5 BOOKS~~

Next is Magical Realism which basically equates to Murakami books. 5 is a big number, given my love-hate relationship with his books, so this could actually be a challenge. The next 5 Fantasy novels are mainly going to be Brandon Sanderson’s Stormlight Archive books. I have heard great things about them & so I am finally going to read them this year! The next 5 books are from the Romance genre, which is going to be another challenge, because I have never liked this genre unless you add cancer or war to the story. Hoping there are some really great releases this year in this genre. And lastly 5 poetry books which will be a piece of cake!

~~3 BOOKS~~

3 Young Adult novels should not be too difficult. I remember a time when I only read YA. Hopefully, I will make better choices of YA books this year. And another 3 classics is challenging. I am not a fan of classics. I have only ever liked Jane Eyre, so hoping that reading all these 3 books does not become into 3 critical book reviews.

~~2 BOOKS~~

Even though I have to read only 2 books each here, it is going to be the toughest, because I don’t normally read these genres. For the autobiography, I will try to read Obama Power Couple’s autobiographies. And, I have no idea which 2 non-fictionbooks I will end up reading, but I am sure I will figure something out!

 

That’s about it! Even if a few of you guys take up this challenge with me, it will mean a lot to me. Here’s to more reading in 2021!

Until next time,
