365 days Ultimate all book Challenge #aelichallenge

Rather late than never

365 days Ultimate All Book Challenge

27/10/2018 

For the past few years, my reading pace has been on a hell of a roller coaster trip. There were times when I can read 6 books in two weeks, but there were also times where I could go without reading any books for months. Not only have I been accumulating books, but it’s also a waste of knowledge and money not reading them. So, I decided to take on this challenge, which I am not sure if anyone has done before. But just for now I will make the claim that I start this challenge. (please inform me if there’s any similar challenge out there). 

OK. ON WITH THE CHALLENGE.

Requirements: 

Set a goal. Personally, my goal is to finish all the books that I own on my bookshelves and on my IPad by the end of 27/10/2019. 

Restrictions. I am NOT allowed to buy any other books until I complete the challenge unless it is compulsory for a course I am taking. 

Books that I hate: I am allowed to sell and donate the books that I ABSOLUTELY CANNOT STAND, but I cannot just skip them. This is a lesson for myself to not waste money on the things I don’t like and evaluate books carefully before making a purchase. 

Note: I am currently living overseas so I will update the actual amount of books in my possession when I go back home in December. For now:

Physical copies 

5 novels (Japanese)

2 poems (English)

3 self-development books (Vietnamese)

eBooks 

1 poem collection

4 spiritual books

2 psychology books

2 novels 

2 financial books

Total: 21 books 

Anyone is welcome to join the wagon and tag me and hashtag #aelichallenge so we can keep up with each other’s progress. I will update my progress with photos regularly.
