In the beginning of 2016, I made a post called My Reading More Diversely Jar/ My Ultimate TBR Jar. Basically, I made a list of all the books that I wanted to read and a lot of reading tasks that i wanted to do to make myself try new authors and genres. I cut them into little slips and put them into a jar.

Throughout the year, I took out a slip every few weeks and read that book or completed that task and pasted the slips in my journal after completing them.

Here are the tasks and the books that I completed:

1. Read a YA contemporary book.
2. Read a YA fantasy book
3. Read a book based on mythology
4. Read a paranormal book
5. Read a thriller
6. Read a mystery novel
7. Read a high fantasy book
8. Read a book set in India
9. Read a book by an Indian author
10. Read a road-trip book
11. Read a book set in England
12. Read a graphic novel
13. Read a middle-grade book
14. Read a biography
15. Read a self-help book
16. Read a short story
17. Read a fan-fiction book
18. Read an anthology

36. Read Amy and Roger’s Epic Detour
37. Read Tuesdays With Morrie
38. Read Confessions of Georgia Nicolson

Overall, I am quite satisfied by the books I managed to read. My aim was to try new things in reading but at the same time, I didn’t want to put any pressure on myself. This was successfully accomplished in 2016 and I’m glad about it. Also, I wont be using much of this jar in 2017 since my only goal this year is to read the books that I own.

 I hope you enjoyed this post. Thanks for reading 🙂
