The only challenges this year would be * GR Reading Challenge - keeping target at 50 this year for now, scared and scarred by 2018
Clearing up TBR pile - aiming around 15 - 20 for
* Wendy’s 2019 #TBRChallenge
* Beat the Backlist 2019
* Read Woman challenge - aiming 20 including other challenges
* Indian Fiction/Non-Fiction - aiming 10 including other challenges
** Keeping read lists more open to read books that I find interesting. Not venturing into genres that failed me either. So just my whims and fancies, typical cruising it will be

Like nothing stays permanent, and change is in fact the only thing that seldom changes, here I picked on 2 more challenges the very first day of the year... (second day)So adding IR challenges, trying to comfort myself that all these criteria shall be overlapping and so I will be able to complete after all the target is just 5 books each ;)
