You have already probably noticed that fantasy and science fiction are two of my favorite genres. As part of New Years resolution, I always declare I will read more SFF books next year. But then fail because pretty covers or popular books distract me.

So this year, I decided o make a commitment by making this declaration aka blog post. Plus I am joining the 2018 Swords and Stars Reading Challenge so that makes it official, right?

My favorite part about 2018 Swords and Stars Reading Challenge is that we have reading tasks. They are not too easy or too hard, just right.
