This year is mostly about pushing boundaries. I have always been more productive when I have a list in hand. So, I will be taking up a variety of challenges just to keep myself motivated. The first one is a reading challenge. I usually manage to read at least 30 books a year. This year I have set a goal of 35. I found the Pop Sugar reading challenge which covers a variety of genres. Going to give it a try! Here's my list in case you want to do this too :)
