Overview

I tend not to read enough non-fiction. So I have challenged myself to read 100 books. Feel free to join the challenge with me, maybe we can inspire each other with interesting titles we didn’t know existed. 

Number: 100 non-fiction books
Dates: Read from 1 January 2025 and forwards. No end date
