Two years ago I thought I had enough time and interest in the 35 books I listed for the 35 books before 35. That did not happen. Regardless I do like the challenge but I put on too many books that weren’t much on my radar in the past 2 years, and I didn’t really keep track of it. At the start of the year I thought I would keep it until the end of this year but as I still haven’t read anything from the list I decided to wrap it up now.

That brings the total to 6 read books and 4 books I lost interest in during the two years since I made this list. Of 35. It’s kind of embarrassing isn’t it?

I wouldn’t say embarrassing — I’d say it is a reflection of how your interested changed and how sometimes the stories we feel we can read in a given time expanse isn’t always an honest representation of the time we need to read the stories. I struggle with these issues myself and this comes from having a HUGE backlogue ahead of moving into my 10th year in 2023. We all strive to do our best and reach our goals but sometimes, life intervenes or perhaps as said, the stories themselves have a way of not connecting with us despite our best attempts to soak inside them.
You did read six books on this list – let’s celebrate that! š
