I’ve just finished the second book on my reading list for this month.
Such a big achievement after a few months of slow reading rhythm.
At the beginning of 2026, I lowered the number of books I hoped to read.
It feels better to meet the target than to miss it.
So, for my reading challenge, I decided to keep my feet on the ground and my head in the clouds.
Soon, I will announce the good news of fulfilling my reading-challenge goal.
But of course, I will keep reading.
I’ve returned to fiction over the last two months.
Fiction is intriguing and interesting but that always depends on the book.
When you read a good book, you reach for more by the same author.
And if most of the books turn out to be so good, it becomes hard to turn to another author.
But then, at some point, you have to pause and tell yourself that it’s enough.
It’s time to discover a different world with a different author.
I’m already happily stuck with Lisa Wingate, and I don’t think I’ll turn away any time soon.
With reading-update thoughts,
Nahla
P.S.
Even cats love reading.
