It’s one month into the new year & I’ve already made a huge dent with my reading! Unsurprisingly, I’ve been reading a lot of manga lately. As someone close to me said, it’s an expensive hobby, which is why my books hauled pile is quite large. The beginning of the month got me with some great Boxing Day deals but I think I will be on my best behaviour for the rest of the year. I’m looking forward to reading more of the books I own ASAP and hopefully bringing this challenge down.
I’ve seen similar variations of my personal challenge going around in a more formal way so if you’ve joined a challenge similar to this one, let me know and we can cheer each other on!
