The other day I was watching Mel to the Any ‘s video (down below) for her May TBR and she mentioned the Year of the Asian Reading Challenge. I was intrigued, so I went to see what it is about. Well, it is a reading challenge for the whole year to celebrate Asian literature and Asian authors.
The goal is to read as many books by Asian authors as possible. Any publishing year is fine as long as it is read in 2019.
I feel like I can never have to much diversity in my reading so I have decided to participate in this challenge.

My Goal:
Because we are almost half way through the year😱 and I can’t count the books that I’ve read over the past few months I’m going to set my goal to read 11 to 20 books for this year.
There are different badges for each reading goal and because I’m aiming to read 11 to 20 books, my badge is the Indian cobra.
