Smriti (santreads) | 37 comments Hello, I'm Smriti and I'm an avid reader from India and I'm here to ask for your help, so please do because I'm very confused.

Last year, I read a total of 28 books - where I read only 4 in the first half and 24 in the second. I was confident that I could read 40 in 2015. However, work (and life) got in the way and I have been able to read only 22 in this whole year.

So here is the conundrum - WHAT NUMBER SHOULD I PUT FOR MY CHALLENGE IN 2016? I want to say I can do 36 (3 books a month), but I don't want to not achieve. At the same time, I don't want to put such a low number that I don't feel motivated to complete it.

What do YOU think I should do?
