What about that book challenge 2018?

So long 2017!! Hello 2018!! I, again, managed to read a 100 books in 2017. That with getting a job in a restaurant. And boy, that’s hard work in the summer hehe… So it’s pretty awesome I read more than my challenge. But I’m not gonna make the challenge any more difficult for me this year. So, again, my challenge will be set at a 100 books to be read in 2018.

I don’t know whether I’ll plan ahead this year or will make my list as I go.. We’ll just have to see ;]

So the history of my reading challenge:

I love the fact Goodreads added the re-read function and I was even more excited when they made it functional in the iOS app!! With the first edition of the re-read function, I still had to go to the website and add a read-date and put it on currently reading again. If I did that in app I would’ve lost the previous reading date…. But it’s fixed, so we all can re-read and register that easily in the iOS app =]

To give a bit more info on my reading stats the previous years:

2017 – 107 books, 34.398 pages [average pages/book – 321,5]
