Ji-Li's 50 Books in 2019 Challenge

[Ji-Li]

Hoping to get through 50 books in my backlog this year, despite not having gotten to finishing any yet so far this year and we're in June, but I'm starting to have more time now due to a lot of changes with work, so I want to get back to reading more books this year. My reading backlog includes sci-fi novels, fantasy novels, comics, and many art and programming training books.

Last year I read 52 books with my original goal being 100, so I think 50 this year is doable.

Best wishes with your reading goal in 2019, Ji-Li!

It's a simple one to start with, but finally got to reading through a book this year and I'm an adult with a child and we both love Pokemon, so I read this to my son and it was also one I haven't read yet as I go through my large Pokemon manga collection haha. I enjoyed it as I enjoyed the other Pokemon manga, much better than the shows, though I enjoyed some of those too.

Reading so slow this year, lot of life changes going on this year, but I'm reaching a happier point in my life, so I'll be trying to incorporate more leisure reading time for the rest of this year!!

2 more books in the Pokemon X & Y series left and I've been kinda here and there all over the place in various other books for leisure and study:


And I just got an Audible free trial and I'm thinking of staying with it, finished these books on there so far:
1.) Crimes Against a Book Club
2.) Blood, Sweat, and Pixels: The Triumphant, Turbulent Stories Behind How Video Games Are Made
3.) The Mystwick School of Musicraft|
4.) The Burnout Generation

[Ji-Li]

Finally finished this book! I think it got much more interesting after halfway point. I started this last year but yesterday I had some solid hours to just read in peace and went and finished this finally!
