Sharon's 2018 Challenge - RECLAIMING MY READING MOJO

[Sharon]

My reading slowed right down in 2017. So to try and get my reading "MOJO" back I'm setting myself a challenge to read 4 BOOKS A MONTH 📖📖📖

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Congratulations Sharon :) And good luck!! I know you'll get that mojo back :)

[Sharon]

Thanks so much, Brenda. I do hope so 😊

[MaryG2E]

My story is quite similar Sharon. After reading 120+ books in 2016, I'll only manage about 80 by the end of this month. So your idea of setting a reading target per month is a great challenge for 2018. I think I'll do something similar, if you don't mind me copying your idea.

[Sharon]

Thanks Mary and no I don't mind at all.

[Carolyn]

Sounds like an excellent plan to get you out of the reading slump. Good luck!

[Sharon]

Thanks Carolyn. I just hope it works 😊
