Let's do this!

Hello, my name is Mihaela and I'm a book lover, a buyer of (too many) books, a reader of book reviews, but one who doesn't read enough and therefore has a huge tbr pile. Honestly, my "want to read" list on Goodreads has many pages and it doesn't even include all of the unread books in my collection. And if I would add my mother's library to that pile, I would never ever, in a lifetime, be able to finish them all. Not to mention the ones I'm gonna buy, probably starting tomorrow. That's why I want to start this challenge, as a motivation to read more.

Last year was a hard one for me, so my goal was of only 20 books. I had an important exam in October, so after it I was behind but was able to catch up. That's how I realized that I could read so much more than I did in the past. This time I'm gonna set a goal of 50 books. It's a little scary for me, considering the most I did was 30 in a year. For some people 50 is very little, but I have other hobbies and I want to fit everything into my life. Hopefully this challenge motivates me to read more than I usually do.

As I'm writing this it's still 2017 and I already started what will hopefully be the first book I finish in 2018. Here's to challenges and to a good 2018!
