I had set the goal of reading 150 back in 2013, and 200 in 2014.

I ended up reading 152 books in 2013 and 202 in 2014. In 2015, I set out to read at least 200 books again – and read 168 books.

In the video below, you will see me recommending 10 of the 202 books I have read so be sure to watch it!

Subscribe to my enewsletters here so as to be informed at the end of the year if I achieve this goal!

As per previous years, I’m sorting them into five categories:

• Fun (completely random books I picked up or the sort of thing I read to pass time);
• Spirituality (what I am into it but actually also fun for me);
• Work (not necessarily related to my field but along the lines of business e.g. marketing, customer service, productivity etc);
• Sexuality (I have added this label so you know this book is primarily about sexuality);
• Relationship (self explanatory)
