2019 Reading Challenge

On 1 January 2019, I started my biggest reading challenge in years – 52 books in 52 weeks. With this, I’ve fallen back in love with reading and decided to start a blog.

Since it was the reading challenge that inspired me, I thought it would be apt to share a list of everything I’ve read this year, along with my Goodreads rating for each book.
