Mission possible

Like every year I set a challenge for myself to do in the next 365 days.
I want to read 65 books, which is my Goodread challenge.
The list of goals you can see below is a way to make myself read different books. I have a problem to stick to a genre I like and to read lots and lots of books from this genre. So let’s change this. I have 21 different aims which, I hope, I will be able to cover during the year.
Enjoy,
