2017 POPSUGAR Reading Challenge

Salah dua dari resolusi saya di 2017 adalah bikin blog buku dan ikut salah satu reading challenge dengan serius. Jadi mumpung masih di awal-awal tahun saya bikin blog ini dan sekaligus mencari reading challenge untuk diikuti.

Pilihan saya jatuh pada POPSUGAR 2017 Reading Challenge ini. Kategorinya memang banyak, tapi enaknya di RC ini nggak ada aturan khusus seperti keharusan membuat review walau dengan begitu challenge ini jadi nggak ada hadiahnya. Hehe 😁 Nggak apa-apa lah, saya ikut RC ini juga pure untuk bersenang-senang dan menghidupkan kembali semangat membaca yang mulai menurun karena keasyikan main gadget, plus biar otak ini isinya nggak kerjaan rumah tangga melulu. Untungnya suami juga doyan baca (meski genre bacaannya jauuuuuuh banget bedanya), jadi asalkan semua kebutuhannya udah saya beresin, saya dibebaskan membaca seeeepuasnya 😆

Dan ternyataaaaaaa... masih banyak kategori yang belum diputuskan buku apa yang mau dibaca 😕

Buku yang masih TBD nanti saya tentukan sambil jalan. Beberapa buku yang saya cantumkan di list udah pernah saya baca, tapi belum pernah dibikin review-nya. Beberapa belum dibaca atau belum selesai dibaca dan beberapa yang lain masuk wishlist. Nabung, nabung 😁  

Harapannya semoga reading challenge ini bisa terlampaui dengan hasil yang memuaskan. Nggak pasang target muluk sih, 50% aja udah OK banget. Yak, semangat membaca! 👊

P.s. Itu icon buat RC-nya bikin sendiri. Nge-crop dari web asalnya terus diedit dan ditambahin tulisan sendiri. Terinspirasi dari lihat postingan di Books to Share 😉
