Any avid book reader knows how it is when one starts to read a book and the feeling when one finishes the book.
I can not vouch for myself that I am a voracious reader, as my genres are limited and I have not read Sidney Sheldon, Agatha Christe or other famous authors.
At the start of the year 2018, Goodreads presented a book reading challenge for the year as always. Last year, it was 50 books reading for me. This time, I kept the count to 45 as I thought I would only manage to read less.
However, it was not to be!
Gradually, I managed to go past 45 books in 4 months, 50 books in 4.5 months and then it reached 80 in August. Today as I write this on 9th November, 2018, I have managed to go past 100 books reading.
Which genres did I manage to read?
1. Health & Spiritual
2. Light novels
3. Business and management and
4. Couple of Computer language books.
I will write down the books I read below and found interesting to share from the beginning of the year and a brief intro, if the book is worth a read if anyone is interested.

No. I just read books when I was free for few minutes or waiting for someone or something outside home, before bed and after I woke up, whenever I could.
Books are best friends for sure!
