- Finish book in two weeks... (of course, it might not always end that way lol)
- Contains new and/or unread books from my bookshelf
- No new picks if the month has more than 4 weeks (rest day/free week)

...?    Hiatus due to physical book reading slump

The Other Jar
- Pick a title from jar in the first week of the month
- Only when I'm in mood for thick books
- Finish within three months (if possible...)
