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

What did you read this week? The Girl on the Train

How did you choose this book? (trends, 2014 best of, recommendation...) Based on what people said about it on Goodreads.

Did you enjoy it? Yes, I liked it.

Would you recommend this title? Yes.

I normally really enjoy James Patterson's books, but I didn't care for this one.

I'm reading this for week 4. I just got the book last night and will be starting it today.

I read Gone Girl. This week. I have seen the movie. I actually read the book before I knew they were making a movie and then once I saw the movie I had to re-read the book because of the inconsistencies. I would recommend this book, it was great.

What book are you reading? Save the Date

How far along are you? I finished last night.

Did you enjoy it? I did, it was an light read.

Would you recommend this title? Yes, if want something light.

Was this a difficult week for you? No.

This book sounds good, and light. I have a big project coming up at work and could use some light reading.

I finished it last night and I really enjoyed it. Thanks!

What book are you reading? The Book Thief

How far along are you? I finished it yesterday.

Did you enjoy it? I did.

Would you recommend this title? Yes!

Was this a difficult week for you? No. Unfortunately, I had the flu and was able to read this book quickly. I really enjoyed it.

Ive heard good things about this book and I have it from the library so I'm reading it for week 8 now.

I just finished this book and I loved it. Thank you to everyone for your great reviews.

This book has been on my TBR pile for a while and week 1 is a great time for me to read it. I'm going slightly out of order on the list and am just starting this book tonight.

I'm reading out of order too. What did you read for #27?

I'm reading Burn for this week. I read a lot of James Patterson, some of his are good and some aren't. We'll see how this one is.

I've never been active in a group before, but saw this Reading Challenge on Pinterest and when I found this group here I knew it would make me much more accountable to do it. I probably won't do it in order since I get the majority of my books from the library and will have to read them as they become available.
