Went into a little panic mode in Nov, because my initial goal was 60 and I was only halfway past my 30 mark! Then I realised that I could edit my reading challenge to 40 and so I did. Haha. I feel that I shouldn't pressure myself to read any desired number of books. The reading challenge should be just a goal and I can modify it whenever I want. Reading should be enjoyable after all, and not simply just to hit quotas.
