Now I've officially reached my goal.

Finished 地心游记 and read one chapter of Great Expectations Part 1 (also MC level 2). I had started this book a while ago, but I never finished it because it was too hard. Now I can read it pretty comfortably! This challenge has been really awesome - I can read more difficult books, I can read faster, and I feel like I generally understand Chinese better. Also I have felt very productive with my study time. I'm definitely going to join another challenge soon!

almost done with journey to the center of the earth

3 Chapters (!) of 地心游记。 I'm getting good at complements and 把 structure with this book

a little over 2 chapters of 地心游记

Another chapter and a half-ish of Jouney to the Center of the Earth. I like reading level 2! I can understand enough, but there are also new words to learn
