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

I'm reading this for this week. I'm about a third into and really liking it.

I just got this book this week. There was a longer wait for it at the library than the other two. But I agree, this book didn't seem to fit with the other two. Very strange.

Which trilogy are you reading? Divergent Trilogy

What is the title of the 2nd book? Insurgent

Did you enjoy the book? Yes.

Which book did you prefer between the 1st and the 2nd? I liked the first book better.

I'm not a graphic novel fan, but I stumbled across this one. I really enjoyed The Kite Runner when it came out and it was interesting to read this and put faces with names.

I read this for this week too and I agree with you Manda. I'll be interested to see what happens in book 3. (I'm waiting on it from the library).

Which trilogy are you reading and what is its genre? Divergent Triology by Veronica Roth and its distopic.

What is the title of the 1st book? Divergent

Did you enjoy the book? I did. It took me a while to get into it, but it left me excited for book 2.

Do you typically prefer series or standalones? Depends.

What did you read this week? The Almost Moon

Did you enjoy the book? NO! It was terrible.

What is your rating? One star.

What parts, according you, are the biggest reasons for the bad reviews? If you have to force yourself to keep reading it, if its written badly, if you could write it better (and you're not an author).

What did you read this week? The Rumor

Which place did you visit? A beach

Did you enjoy the book? Yes.

Does another destination interest you? Yes, lots! That's why I read, so I can travel.

I read this book for week 29. I've always wanted to visit the beach and grab and book and read for a week, or two. So this was a good read for this week.

What did you read this week? To Kill a Mockingbird

Did you choose a book you skipped or a book in a list? I read all the books assigned to me in high school, and I'm pretty sure I read this one, but couldn't remember what it was about and wanted to re-read it before the sequel came out.

Did you enjoy it? Yes.

Did/do you usually like your school books? For the most part. I was assigned The Pillars of the Earth in high school. I didn't enjoy it then, but re-read it a couple of years ago and enjoyed it then.

I'm pretty sure I read this in high school, but couldn't remember what it was about so I read it again. I really enjoyed it.

I'm reading this for my trilogy as well. I only started last night so I'm not far enough in to know whether I like it or not. I'll update once I finish.

What did you read this week? Heart-Shaped Box

Did you choose an horror book or a book you were scared to read? A horror book.

Did you enjoy the book? Yes.

Did you find it scary? I found it more creepy than scary, but still a good book.

I really enjoyed this. I found it more creepy than scary, but still a good book for this week. Thanks for asking!

What did you read this week? Big Little Lies

Did you enjoy the book? Yes, it was great.

Transform the title of your book using 2 other antonyms instead of the original ones - I agree with Zaz - Bitter Sweet Lies.

I'm reading this for my scary book. I've never read anything by Joe Hill, and I'm not a big Stephen King fan, but it sounded creepy, so that's why I picked it for this week.

What did you read this week? The Irish Trilogy

Did you read a book from this author before? Yes

What was the most impressive point, from a 1st book point of view? Good characters, the book flowed well (I'd read my book with bad reviews before this and that book did not flow). Good read overall.

Did you enjoy the book? Would you recommend it? Yes.

What did you read this week? The Shell Game

Did you enjoy the book? Yes.

How long was your book? 29 pages (per Amazon)

Are there some authors you usually read in a day because their books are compelling? Between work, kids and life in general its very hard for me to read a book in a day anymore.

I loved this book growing up and am trying to patiently wait for my children to be old enough to enjoy this book too.

I'm reading this for week 15 too. I could only find it in the trilogy so I'll probably end up reading all 3 books. I'm about halfway through the first one and I'm enjoying it.
