I had set the goal of reading 150 books in 2013; 200 in 2014, 2015 and 2016; 100 in 2017 and 2018.

This is how I fared

• 152 books in 2013, (Reached goal)
• 202 in 2014, (Reached goal)
• 168 in 2015, (Reached goal)
• 110 in 2016, (Didn’t reach goal)
• 80 in 2017, (Didn’t reach goal) and
• 107 in 2018. (Reached goal)

I intend to read at least 100 books this year!

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

In the meantime, check out the list of books I read in 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016 ,2017 and 2018 here.

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)

For those interested, this is a complete list of the books I have read in 2019 so far:
