The 2016 book reading challenge motivated me to enter, I was not too confident I could read a lot of books. To enable me to achieve success I pledged to read 25 books.
I started on January 4th and completed reading 25 books on May 8th. During this time I read all sorts of books, some were amazing, some were scary, and there were some I read because among the books I had to include those that had bad reviews.
Here is a list of books I read:
1.The Miracle of Mindfulness: An introduction to the practice of meditation, written by Thich Nhat Hanh and translated by Moby Ho
- Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand
