Back on January 11, I decided to spicy things up with a few reading challenges to get this year out of the slump. Well I’m glad to inform that the first challenge has been achieved.
For the past 10 days, I have hit the mark of at least reading 179 pages per day, even better than that, my average has been around 215 pages per day. Thanks to that, another of the challenges has hit its first mark. The 4-week challenge of reading 1,253 pages per week. Things are starting to have the forward momentum that gives me hope that the coveted 1,000,000 pages at the end of the road, will be achieved.
I also mentioned that as a motivation tool, after each challenge completed I will reward myself with a prize, more books of course, for now I’ll keep the suspense until I get the first prize physically in my hands.
Just a quick recap of the challenges :
- 10-day reading streak, at least 179 pages per day (Completed)
- 5-day gold reading streak, at 300 pages per day (Not started)
- 4 week reading streak, at least 1,253 pages per week (1 week streak)
- 100-day reading streak, at least 179 pages per day (10 day streak)
To add to this progress, I will also be participating on the Bookly App first Readathon of the year. Taking place from January 30 to February 9.
Although the app focuses more on the time spent reading, it is a great way to get those pages rolling.
This time, as they often do , there’s levels according to how much time you read. As always, being the greedy reader that i am , I would love to aim for “Chapter Champion” level , more than 45 hours logged in.
The other cool thing about the Readathon is the prompts, themes or characteristics of the books you are reading,. This I believe always have motivated me to read outside of my comfort zone, a thing I have been doing more often this past few months.
The particular prompt that I think that tackling first will be a great motivator should be ‘A book You’ve Started but Never Finished” there are quite a few on my TBR pile.
To close out the day of reading , I think I’ll try to get the last of challenges started, 5 gold days of reading, let’s see how the rest of the night plays out
Off to read
