In April, a coworker told me they are trying to read 52 books in 52 weeks during 2018. As a (wannabe) avid reader, I decided to jump on this train, even though the year was already four months up and I had only finished four books. Admittedly, I should have thought this through a little more before I made my inward commitment - reading during every minute of spare time was just not plausible when my wedding was the following month.
