This post comes a bit late than the status I have posted on my Facebook, which is the recap of my reading in 2020. But well, this blog had just begun a few days ago.
My reading target for 2020 is only 20 book. It’s rhyme just right with 2020. I didn’t expect I would manage to finish 34 books. MCO (Movement Control Order), TEMCO, CMCO and RMCO were becoming the booster to add my reading, maybe because the time used travelling to other places were replace by reading. In addition, I manage to insert some of my time joining an online book meeting
Most of the book read is new, but I did too some re-read, and even read the book I left abandoned for seven years. Some of the books enter the DNF (Do Not Finish) category. Why should I force myself reading things I hate?
I think my best achievement is successfully finishing the Harry Potter Series. Feeling like a Potterhead now (better late than never right?). About a month and a half, I immersed myself in the magical world.
Some people choose quality over quantity when reading, and some people prefer the opposite. Some people prefer non-fiction, and some just like to read all fiction. However, that is just personal preference. Reading is our own journey, and we do not race with anyone. For me, I’ll make sure I read more books every year.
In a book, Projek Bibliofil, there is a line of words written,
“The book we read doesn’t necessarily need to be like by everyone. Reading material shouldn’t be the indicator of cleverness.”
Hopefully, in 2021, the number of books I will be reading should be at least the same as the books I will buy (ouch), anddddd also read many books with Amir.
My favourite books of 2020:
Non-Fiction Books:
1. Seni Berfikir yang Hilang
2. Digital Minimalism
3. Atomic Habits
Fiction Books:
1. Guru Aini
2. Harry Potter (1-7)
Books about Books
1. Projek Bibliofil
2. Kertas- kertas yang Merubah Fikir
3. Aku, Buku & Kota Kaherah
Happy Reading for 2021!
