Happy new year, everyone in the west! Hope you slid in well! As new year’s resolutions are going around, how about we don’t just plan things, but actually start fulfilling them?

- Feel free to interpret the theme as you like.
- It’s a non-fiction book about helping you with self improvement.
- A character works on self improvement.
- Timeframe to read and review: 1st to 31st January 2026
- (If you happen to be busy in January, don’t worry about posting your review after the timeframe! We’re not that strict here!)
Make sure to join our Discord and get the Book Guild role, to not miss out on any announcements or other info! You can also add your read book to our reading challenge on StoryGraph.
Looking forward to your reviews!
