Caro (karopi) | 995 comments A new year begins... New challenges to participate and more pages to read....
January always offers great expectations and it seems that allow us to do everything we want. Last year I wanted to take back my love for books and really dedicate me to them. This year I also decide to read 50 books, but this time I am going to make it a bit harder for me. I will read a little bit more complex books and discover new authors I am in multiple challenges and hopefully will make them alll. because of this I will put my progress here and the main results in my personal challenge. https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/2108820-caro-pi-s-50-books

Caro (karopi) | 995 comments So since I have so many challenge and books I want to read I will start with the list of what I want to read in January:

READ1.This Is How You Lose Her Is my TBR Twins of the month
READ2.The Mysterious Affair at Styles Part of my readwomen and debut novel challenge.
READ3.The Gremlins: The Lost Walt Disney Production, A Royal Air Force Story by Flight Lieutenant Roald Dahl Debut novel challenge
READ4.Purple Hibiscus: A Novel Is part of my readwomen Challenge and since is a debut novel I add it to that challenge and also decide to add it to the book riot's challenge as a book by an author from Africa, finally I also include in I spy challenge as #3 Things that grow.
READ5.Welcome to Dead House I loved these books when I was younger, found my collection when I was at home, so decide to read them again, they are an easy reading, but some of them I remember that I really enjoy them.
READ6.Lord Arthur Savile's Crime and Other Stories Is part of my complete works and the randomiser challenge, I will try to be more focus in the randomiser challenge this time and a little bit more flexible in the other challenge so I may be able to do all of them
READ7.The Innovators: How a Group of Hackers, Geniuses and Geeks Created the Digital Revolution This is an audiobook that I read for the Book Riot Challenge my first, and probably my last audiobook.
READ8.No Going Back Is a short read of a Sci - Fi series. Seems promising, just wish the author made a little bit longer each of this mini books..
READ9.Weird Things Customers Say in BookshopsI also used this book in the I spy challenge for the #6 Challenge that is places
10.Bad Feminist: EssaysStarted this month but did not manage to finish yet.

So it seems that I did manage to make a good progress in my readings in January... February I will not read as many books, but they will be longer.

Challenges are a fun way to keep track of what you read and a fun way to see how your books fit into different challenges. I hope you have fun in our group.

READ1.What If?: Serious Scientific Answers to Absurd Hypothetical Questions
READ2.Go Set a Watchman
