Let me tell you a short story about myself.
When I was a kid (elementary days), one of my hobbies is reading encyclopedias and Nancy Drew books. I rarely get to do the latter, though, because the collection was my cousin’s and, well, it’s in their house.
Anyway, it wasn’t until I was in high school when I realized that reading novels was actually fun and that I should probably do it more often. So, almost every single day during our lunch breaks, I hike up to our school library and read books.
I honestly no longer remember most of what I read on there but I remember having so much fun while reading.
My relationship with books, though, is an on-and-off one. There are instances when I’d stop reading for months (even years) and when I find that itch again, I’d find myself reading non-stop again for years. This is why despite loving books for about two decades, I’ve only read a few.
I want that to change and I’ve set my life goal to 1000 books. So far, I’ve read 180 and while that’s not a bad amount, I want to devour more. That said, here’s a list of books that I’ve already read, divided according to the author, arranged alphabetically. Some of them would be linked back to a review or feature.
I’m hoping that before my time comes (ha, how morbid), I get to fulfill this goal. Cross your fingers with me.
