Zaz’s comments from the 2015 Reading Challenge [Closed] group.

The wedding bouquet seems nice, I want to see a picture too :)

I didn't say Hi, so Hi Michelle :D
I like your story with your grandpa. I only remember charing books with my mom :)

Nice ^^ I like share books with children it's so lovely and fun :)

Hi Lora, nice to meet you :p

So, you're a capricorn? It's the best sign ever :D

A book is listed in the Goodreads Reading Challenge only when the reading date is added, so verify on your shelves ;)

Someone else who will read The Annotated Peter Pan, awesome :D
I think it's a good choice ^^ (says the Neverland fangirl). I'll read it before you (week 29), so I'll tell you if the annotated version is interesting :)

Johanna has the same initials and will read Peter too ;)

First: I laugh a lot with your YESSSS :p
It was so much the same for me, I had a hard time to decide what book on my list I'll choose. I'll read Sand Omnibus as I liked the Silo series from the same author (a little slow paced but a very well build world/history if you read at least the 1st and 2nd). Sand will be an "open world", so I'm really curious to see what he had done with that.
If you didn't read them, The Dark Tower series by Stephen King are great dystopian books.
Ender's Game on the more SciFi side...
And you can have a look at Unlocked: An Oral History of Haden's Syndrome (free prequel) to have a taste of Lock In (I'm currently reading it as I liked a lot the writing in the prequel, the story seems to be a thriller but in a dystopian world, which is nice because it's not a survival :p).
I didn't read Divergent but I can't recommend The Maze Runner (because of the shallow/annoying characters). For other books, I think all the dystopias I read are on your read list :D

For graphic novels, some ideas: Oz: The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, I Kill Giants (a cute girl with huge imagination + touching story), The Surrogates (dystopia and so much better than the movie), Wolverine: Old Man Logan (dystopia + Wolverine). I'll have probably other recommendations later as I've lots of new comics to discover this year ;)

Author with your initials: Shirley Jackson (I'll read The Lottery and Other Stories for my short stories week).

No problem. I'm a huge fan of the Wonderland world (hard to resist to buy a picture book about it...), but well, the story is another thing :p The Girl seems to be as weird, so I hope it will be less on the crazy side and more on the interesting one :)

You wrote all the list by yourself? You know there is one in the "Introduction" thread in the Plans folder and you can copy it? :p
We added numbers too for the trilogy as it will be read on 3 weeks.
So maybe you can put the Pulitzer on the right place and change the number each time when you'll edit to show you finished to read a book? If not, you can let it as this but don't miss the Pulitzer week on the discussions :)

All the Light is a WW2 book. I avoid WW2 books as much as I can because they are too much family related for me ;) Luckily, it's not a painful topic for everyone, so it's easier to enjoy the story.

Not surprising ;)
Merbromin for example is a red antiseptic containing mercury, used in the USA before 1998 (forbidden in 2006 only in France).

At 50%, it seems we'll go with a hive romance (= one queen, lots of men). I'm not sure I will avoid to hit my head on the walls with something like this.

I want to read this so much :D My to-read list will be so huge at the end of the year...

Whyyyy the Pulitzer book is on week #50 and not #18? :p
We'll read the same book ;)

I saw All the Light We Cannot See several times in the plans, here we go again...
*go look at the summary*
Okay, difficult topic for me. I have to think about it but I can fit it in the "hometown week" as I decided to choose a book in my country.

I agree, the app need some improvements, it's ok to rate books and write reviews but the other features are missing a lot.

Ok thanks, both of them are available as kindle ebooks so I'll try the samples and choose the most compelling one :)

*complaints ON* In Australia you have Fairytales for Wilde Girls and I can't have it :( (maybe it's not an awesome book but I'll never know it if they won't publish it world-wildly). *complaints OFF*
:p

I think I'll add HIVE (or something similiar, I saw other titles in your read list) in my to-read. It could be interesting to read a story based on the villain point of view (I liked very much Luthor, Penguin and Joker POV comic books). Do you have a favorite in this 'genre' in you're read list? :)

Don't worry Sean, I'm overly sensitive and almost never cry when I read books (I don't remember crying once, but maybe it happened). I'll try The Fault in Our Stars and will plush onions to help me cry a little :p

Diane > Thanks for the link, it's really interesting. I already have two books I want to re-read for this week, so it won't be useful here, but it's funny to discover what was publish during my year :)

I finished my last side-reads (I think "sidekick" every time). The new ones are Lock In (I loved the free prequel, so the book was bugging my mind since...) and The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making (this one has a Alice in Wonderland feeling, I won't read it fast as... well... people shouldn't write books on drugs :p).

I think a part of me is like Anna (thinking a lot but saying nothing), so it helps me to read when she's the important character (even if I want to shake her and yell at her to do what she wants!). Others are just painfully shallow, really not my cup of tea :p
Tell us if you enjoy more the book later :)

I like your plan title :D

I'm at 40%. The last pages were easier to read and the story is more interesting. I can't say that I want a lot to continue to read, but I'm not bored anymore so it's a good thing.

Welcome everybody :)

Erika > you were really courageous to start the challenge on your own! It took me several days to decide to do it as I found there were too much books and after my decision, I joined directly the group.
I like too reading all the plans and discover new books :)
