Holly’s comments from the The Reading Challenge Group group.

If I can find time, I'm hoping to get round to a Stephen King in May. Exams are an issue though!

Crikey Renee! That's a lot of books! Definitely keep us updated, I'm really interested to see if you get through them all. I have faith in you!

They did*

Aha, I'm glad Faye! It would probably be a lot of 'MY BABY, WHY DID THE WRITERS TREAT YOU THE WAY THEY?!

Wool has held a lot of high regard here on Goodreads.

Let me know what you think of it?

The Girl Who Spent Her Life Obsessing Over Fictional TV Characters.

It looks really interesting, and I really need to read more non-fiction pieces.

It looks equally fun and daunting!

I doubt I'll be able to get through all of them!

For my Shakespeare Challenge:
Measure for Measure
Antony and Cleopatra
The Winter's Tale

For my general reading:
A Clash of Kings (Genre Challenge)
Dune (Genre Group Read)
Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers (Non-Fiction Group Read)
Journey to the Center of the Earth (Classic Group Read)

I doubt I'll get all of these read, especially considering exams start in late May. However, I will try my best! There are some long ones in there, so I am slightly cautious.

Definitely a tempting review... I'm really tempted to give it a go now!

I'd be interested in doing Under The Dome too!

I know! It's an opportunity for people to really get their Genre Challenge numbers up.

It's always seemed to be really long and daunting to me! I'm not 100% certain if I'll get round to it, with exams coming up and all that, but I'll definitely try!

What makes you love it so much, Faye?

I read Infinity and rather enjoyed it. I'd recommend it!

I haven't got round to him yet! Maybe in the Summer after all my exams!

I'll probably start with Carrie. Or Different Seasons, seeing as they are rather short, and will give me a good taste of his writing style!

Welcome, Bob!

You can check out our past group reads here, which might give you an inclination to books that have been popular with our members!

I hope this group motivates you into finding that inspiration again! We do have a writers thread, which you might interested in.

Our Classic Group Read for May will be Journey to the Center of the Earth by Jules Verne.

Our Non-Fiction Group Read is Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers by Mary Roach.

I personally think this looks like really interesting book. I blame my obsession with shows involving medical examiners and pathologists (Rizzoli and Isles, Castle, Rookie Blue)

Our Young Adult read for May is A Great and Terrible Beauty by Libba Bray.

Reading commences May 1st.

For May's Genre of Fantasy/Science-Fiction, we'll be reading Dune by Frank Herbert

(The tie-break in the polls has lead to The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood to be a buddy read this month, which can find here. I'd definitely recommend it!)
