Hi Readers!<\/span><\/p>\n
You all know how much of a planner I am. You can clearly see that from the 20 Things to do in 2020 post. While I am always organized in most matters, there is one important area where I am haphazard. And that, dear readers, is shockingly READING<\/span><\/b>! I never plan on the number of books to read in a month. I never decide to read specific titles. I always read as per my mood. I randomly pick up an unread book from my bookshelf. Or when I see repetitive recommendations, I just download the e-book & start reading. So, that\u2019s that. And, I love the freedom that comes along with it. There\u2019s no pressure. However, this year, I am doing something different. In 2020, since my main focus is going to be on reading, I thought to make it a little HAPPENING<\/span><\/b>.<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
Last year I was able to read 40 books<\/span><\/b> <\/span>quite easily. So, I thought of targeting 50 books, but then I came up with this plan: 52 BOOKS IN 52 WEEKS<\/span><\/b>! This is just one part of the 2020 Reading Challenge. <\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
Another part is the interesting one. I always used to see these lists of books on Pinterest. So, out of nowhere, I thought I ought to make a list too! And, that is how I came up with the ULTIMATE READING CHALLENGE<\/span><\/b>! Below are the 52 types of books I plan on reading! Some are as per genre, some are recommendations, some are random, some are fun & lastly 6 books out of 52 can be anything I want to read. Because I am a moody reader, I did not want to make too rigid a schedule. So, these 6 books will be breathing space for me.<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n
I am super optimistic about the 2020 Reading Challenge: 52 Books in 52 Weeks! If you like it, you can follow it as well!!<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

Until next time,<\/span><\/div>\n
