Perhaps some important books, you should pay more time on it, because some books need chew carefully and swallow slowly

Some books will take only a few days, some more. Some weeks I might not read at all, and some weeks I might read 2-3 books. On overage, I have to complete 52 books by the same time next year.

@sakinasaifee18 Yes, some books are very valuable, and we should take more time to read them.
For example, there is a very famous books named as A Dream in Red Mansions, some people even read it ten times to understand it.

@MattMeng I will add that book to my reading list! I had to read Dan Brown's Inferno twice to keep track of everything happening in the book.

I consider finishing a book a week a luxury! Could hardly find the time, these days...

That sounds like a very productive use of free time. If you have positive things to say about the challenge, then I may considering doing it as well. Have you chosen which books you are going to read yet?

@sakinasaifee18 Science fiction and fantasy, but I also read a lot of thrillers, because you can buy them cheaply. I usually have a factual book on the go as well, sometimes two.

@arintellect007 Can you teach me how to do that too? I think it'll be quite useful.

I'm a big reader, but I have a feeling I would get burnt out if I tried to do this challenge. Possibly because of my lack of free time - haha if I have free time it's spent reading textbooks, for school... :'( What books are you planning to read? Would love to know once you're finished if there's any you really enjoyed.

@KatILUs I am slowly getting into the mystery/thriller zone. Recommend me some good ones, please. And I absolutely love young adult books! I have read Divergent too.

I am in the process of making my reading list but I've added some really interesting books so far. Which genres do you usually read? We can recommend each other some books.

@sakinasaifee18 I normally read mystery novels, those are my favorites. I've also enjoyed reading the popular young adult books like Divergent.

If I did this challenge, I would have to read Children's Books, as have been so busy. I am tired now and its the afternoon.
