Acording to Goodreads I read 44 books last year. I fell short 6 books of my goal but I don't even mind. I mostly just wanted to read more and I achieved that goal. I gave up fitting books to the Helmet reading challenge and have no idea how many I actually read for it. I decided to give the challenge another go and combine it with a second challenge.
Here is a link to Helmet reading challenge if you want to start the journey with me. It has the list in Finnish and English so more people can join.

The second challenge is simple and I'm hoping I can combine it with Helmet but if not it shouldn't be a huge problem. Simply read one book a month from your own bookshelves that you haven't read yet. Every year I buy few dozen new books and rarely actually read them as I'm just overwhelmed. Even clearing up 12 books this year would help a bit.
I'm almost finished with my first book of the year, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's stone. I haven't read Potter books since they came out so figured I'd re-read them. I'm sure the reading experience will be different after all these years. First book also fits Helmet challenge as the one that starts a book series so that is a nice bonus.
Any challenges you are taking part this year? Or maybe you just have a reading goal? I hope everyone has a great year with some lovely books!
