I'll definitely read more than 36 books this year, but I'm ending this challenge. Actually, I'm done with all "number challenges". Maybe they work for some people, but to me they just make pressure, turn everything into the chore and take away all the joy and beauty of reading/watching/listening and really enjoying it.
And this goes for many things - everything became just a number and I realized people read a lot of crap just to fulfill the "task" and I don't even know why I am doing this in the first place. I'd rather enjoy one book per month and embrace slow and easy approach to reading/life. That's also a good way to be more mindful, attentive and to pick books/movies more carefully, not just to consume everything that's served for me.
There is hyperproduction everywhere and we are swamped with all kinds of books, movies, series, music and every other kind of content. The problem is - there is so little quality in all that, it's more about quantity. I choose to be more aware of my choices and to embrace JOMO.
So, no more "counting" for me. 😉 Good luck with your challenges, guys. 🍀🧡

Done! Last 3 books of the challenge. "Educated" supposed to be a memoir by a girl who grew up in the survivalist Mormon family, didn't go to school at all, then she homeschooled herself, went to the college and got a PhD. Well, I expected a true story, but the plot is full of gaps, illogicalities and inconsistencies. There are two possibilities : 1. she is a bad writer or 2. the story isn't so true. Either way, I couldn't believe it and I didn't like it.
The other two books are good. Especially "Guns, germs and steel" - huge recommendation!

سأله قائلا:ألم تنظر لجسدك و لو لمرة منذ قذفتَ مراياك
قال :لم أفعل.. لأنني أشعر بوجودي ،و أتنفس ،و أحيا
أجابه :وجودك بلا معنى إن لم يره الآخرون
He asked him: Have you not looked at your body for once since you threw out your mirrors?
He said: I did not..because I feel my presence, I breathe, and I live
He replied: Your existence is meaningless if others do not see it

I have finished 48 books, the second year in a row. It's pretty clear how important it is. Of course, it matters what kind of books you read, so doing the research before reading is valuable. Also, it is useful to read books that you do not relate to, to open your mind even more. Here are a few honorable mentions from my list.
