I just recently joined a group on Goodreads called “Reading my frigging a** off”. Pretty funny name, right? 😛
So, they have this Genre reading challenge where the members participating read a book of decided genre for each month. So, I decided participating in it for 2016! Excited! 😀 😀
This year there are two genres for each month to give the members more options to choose from. I will try to squeeze in both the genres but let’s see. 😛 This year is going to be jam packed for me. I have a lot of plans for this year but reading is always going to be there. ❤
Rules:
1. Only members can participate.
2. You have to read at least 1 book each month for respective genre.
3. You have to select a level and make an announcement.
Levels:
Level 1: Casual Reader: 1 book (easy)
Level 2: Frequent Reader: 2 books (moderate)
Level 3: Bookworm: 3 books (mildly strenuous)
Level 4: Bibliophile: 4 books (strenuous)
Level 5: Bookiopath: 5 books or more (challenging)
I obviously want to be the Bookiopath let’s see. 😛
Genre list for each month:
January- Science-Fiction + New Adult

I am still leaving my options open, if I find a book that interests me more than what I have in the list then I might read that. I will make the changes as I go along but this post will mark the journey. I will add links to the reviews of the books that I read and if I decide on another book then that will be added here as well.
