I have been looking forward to this challenge since the last reading challenge. So excited to actually focus on graded readers and complete a series as part of extensive reading. Though I have some books in mind that I want to read intensively the biggest challenge is wanting to buy Chinese books that are not available on Amazon, Google Play store, apple store, Raktuken/Kobo. Therefore I will not be focusing on that on this challenge and try to focus instead on completing some graded reading Books that are available and hope by the end of it I can find more interesting resources.

I want to improve reading speed /comprehension and when I find new grammar points that I dont quiet understand then get familiar with it.
