On the 3rd quarter of 2016, I met a person whom awaken my bookworm side from uber long hiatus. The side that had slipped away, unnoticed. I came to realization that I haven’t had read any adequate book along 2016 (no wonder I felt so dull loll.)
And so, I decided to put this as one of 2017 resolutions! Reading 24 books in 1 year; which means I must read a minimum of 2 books every month. List of books I have finished are listed down below :

My hunch, this list will consist of manymany jumbled themes, as I like to keep the options open. List will be actively updated along the way (sooo excited to fill all 24!! or more!)
Plus, am planning to write short summary and opinion for each book (haha ambitious; I rarely even write in this blog. But anyway it’s always okay to plan.) Will also update the list on my Goodreads account! https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/19133653-lunnaby

Hmmm, okay, will try to read that book sih if it’s talking about engaging yourself, but actually I am not that kind of someone who reads that kind of book sih Lun, so no I havent read that Now How Good You are. I am typically kind of someone who deals with Fiction books, that’s why I write strings on my blog that involve surround its related genre.
