So yeah, a week ago, I completed my Goodreads Reading Challenge.
I know, I know, that number's too low for someone who claims to be a bookworm. But you see, I've been setting a higher number ever since I went on Goodreads and this is the only time I've reached my goal. It's not really because I set a lower number. It's because I set a number that I thought was more achievable given the amount of spare time I have. I work, and I also have a life outside books (although admittedly I sometimes love reading more than doing any of those stuff) so it's hard for me to finish 100 books in a year. The best estimate was one book per week which gives me 48 books in a year. But I also guessed that there might be a time that I will be too busy to read so I lowered it just a tiny bit to 45. There are a few more weeks before the year ends so I am going over my goal! Yayyy!!!

This may not be a big deal for most of you. After all, it's just a number and what's important is that you read, right? I agree. But see, this year, I've read more good books and made good friends because of those books, too!
