What began as a challenge has become incredibly natural to me. By planning out which books to read, I read even more than I ever anticipated. From one book every two years, I am almost at 34 books by the end of this year. By joining Goodreads, Fable, Storygraph and even the MBC community holding me accountable, I’ve exceeded my own reading goal of a book per month. It is so rewarding to finish a book. As someone whose life is centred around movies, it was necessary to expand my imagination and tap into another medium to explore different worlds. This is the natural progression of joining a book club, and I am eternally grateful that Maude Garrett and the community have made me fall in love with reading again.
