It's been a while since my last post. My goal for 2019 was to read more and spend less time watching TV, Netflix, and playing on my game apps. Well, what can I say? Goal accomplished!! My original goal was to read at least 12 books, i.e., one every month. After reading 8 in January alone, I increased my goal ... and then increased it again and again and again. I ended up reading almost 400 books in 2019! I found out that my favorite genres are not simply limited to nonfiction and mystery/suspense novels. No! Due to the reading challenges I joined on Goodreads and Facebook, I ventured out and found a whole new world of genres that I didn't know I would enjoy. So my list of favorite genres now includes: nonfiction (in particular personal development books and true crime), mystery/suspense, dystopian/post-apocalyptic, retellings (OMG, the retellings!!!!), mangas, and some fantasy. I even read and reread some classics I either had never read before or hated when I had to read them in school. I found out that I'm not a Jane Austen fan (even though I like her characters), that I can read tomes such as Anna Karenina and enjoy them, that I have missed out on so many popular series such as Harry Potter and Percy Jackson, and that I can even enjoy different formats of books (I loved the Illuminae Files series by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff).
So, in 2020, I joined some more challenges and made it my goal to read 20 books from 20 different genres. You can follow my progress of the 20x20 challenge here (my posts are messages 145-149).
I'm also one of the mods in a monthly reading challenge group on Facebook: the Pop Culture Book Club with a different theme each month...check it out here. Come on over and join the fun! We are an inclusive group with fantastic games that combine Pop Culture and reading!
And follow and come back to this blog for some great book reviews and other cool posts!
