GOAL: To read all 100 books from the BBC Big Read before turning 30 🙂
Date of Pledge: July 7, 2019 | Status: 14/100
This is a project inspired by Lucy of The Literary Edit in which she targeted to read all 100 books from The BBC Big Read 100. The public was asked to nominate their favorite book and this list is the product of BBC’s efforts. This is a challenge to myself especially since most of these are classics and genres I don’t usually read. So… cheers to completing this one day!
