2018 Moody Reads – Wrap Up (Blogmas #8)

Hi Blisses,

It’s Day 8 of #blogmas and I decided to share a wrap up of one of the reading challenges I joined in this year. It was a part of my plan to include wrap ups for my #blogmas posts.

I’m a mood reader just like most of you. 🙂 Last January, I discovered this amazing reading challenge called Moody Reading Challenge hosted by Dani from Perspective of a Writer. And even though I was already joining 5 reading challenge that time I didn’t hesitate to join. This reading challenge was made for me. 🙂 And it feels like it was just last month I’m doing a TBR for this.

I didn’t really read most of the books I listed in my TBR post because MOOD READER. But I did read so many other books that fits the challenge. The rules was to choose some genres and then read new book or older books in each. I chose four genres.

1.) YA/Mental Health(serious;y though, most of YAs these days focus on Mental Health issues surrounding Teens)
2.)Romance/Adult
3.)Mystery/Thriller/crime
4.)Fantasy/Paranormal

I think it’s now safe to say that I’ve finished this challenge. 🙂 4 genres and 4 books in each might be meager but to be honest, this year, as of today, I’ve already read 181 books. That is according to Goodreads though I’ve actually finished most of the books in my Currently-Reading shelf. I just can’t list them as Read because my To-Be-Reviewed pile is getting overwhelming. hehe.

Also, for the first time in my life, I can say that I’ve read all the genres in a year. No kidding. I even started reading Non-Fiction this year. You guys, I’m so proud of myself. Sounds arrogant but this is a big deal for me and I need to be proud of myself. You have no idea how shitty my 2017 was because of my depression. I almost couldn’t function last year.

I’m getting emotional here so I’m saying bye for now.

Thank you for reading.
