I have finally hit my goal of 20 books this year!

Of course I am not going to stop here, even though I have less time to read now until mid-December, as I have started my post-graduate course and will last for 2.5 years.

My daily target now will be 50 pages, before bedtime.

I have updated my reading challenge to 40 books!
Wonder if it is achievable but I will try my best! :)
