LOL! I think the real challenge is to read less than 20, as I read 72 last year. I just clicked on the Challenge thing for the hell of it :D

Ale You can totally smash this Apatt! I can't wait to read through more of your thoughtful and engaging reviews :)

Thank you very much, Ale :)

Thank you very much, Joanna. I read 72 books last year, so—barring an unforeseen series of unfortunate events—it should exceed it by miles :D I just put in 20 to make it easy for myself! For me, reading should primarily be fun. :)

Od Busakorn Khun Apatt, you cheated. You could have made 80 your goal. Or 100 to be a real challenge. :P But congrats! Very impressive. (I'm still at 9. Gotta catch up or I lose my 20 📚 challenge.)

Thank you, k.Od. I tend to extend it by increments of 5 when I meet the goal 😆

Kevin Ansbro Apatt, we must throw a party in your honour when I come to Thailand next month - or perhaps build a statue?
; )

Oh, it's 100% confirmed. I'll furnish you with details nearer the time (late August). Yummy Thai food in a lovely restaurant in Bangkok sounds wonderful. Look forward to it!

Kevin Ansbro Apatt, if you don’t meet your challenge, please don’t let it ruin your life!
And I’m here should you need me.

Thanks, Kevin. That's reassuring. I keep moving the goalpost! 🤣

Well, I’m not one to gloat, but I’ve exceeded my target (of one book) by 300%
I wouldn’t be at all surprised if Goodreads decide to throw a party in my honour. : )

Couldn't have happened to a miser person 😉.

Except that your "here" is not the same as Apatt's, unless one of you is travelling. Make sure you invite Apatt to your GR party.

Apatt is more than welcome to my party, Cecily, as are you, of course!
When will you be unveiling your ‘Year in Books, 2017’?
