Kassi’s comments from the 2016 Alphabet Challenge group.

Yay! I'm close. I need to focus and stop reading things with other letters lol. I have a few lined up for the clock challenge too.

Oh gosh. I can't start all the way back with a! Lol maybe I'll read something else.

I think that may be what I do for X. I got distracted and started reading other things, but I am going to try to get back to the alphabet lol

No, but I have it in my library and have been interested in it as well.

I'm reading Exit, Pursued by a Bear and really enjoying it. It goes into a lot of touchy subjects that you don't see a lot in teen books. Mostly focusing around a teen who was roofied and raped and with the current media story about the Ivy League swimmer, it's timely and I'm seeing some of the same reactions and it's interesting.

I am reading With Malice by Eileen Cook which I have eagerly been awaiting and got an advanced copy of just before it came out. It just came out last week, so it's now available! Memory loss and mysterious death/missing girl-my favorite plot I think.

Currently reading The Outliers by Kimberly McCreight. Her other book is one of my favorites (Reconstructing Amelia) and I was able to meet her and get this book at my conference in May. Not as good as the other one so far, but not unenjoyable either.

I read Me Before You. I was sort of spoiled on it based on people posting on the controversial topic it deals with as the movie came out. I thought it could go either way still but had an expectation. Well written and I enjoyed it. Maybe I over hyped it because I had it recommended to me by literally everyone lol. Great, but not the best book I've ever read. I'm anxious to see the movie now.

I read None of the Above which is a novel centered around a teen who discovers as a senior in high school that she has AIS which basically means she has the appearance of a female but genetic code of a male making her infertile and things of that nature. There was a famous Olympic runner who you probably remember unknowingly had the same condition. I'm not sure the depiction of her dealing with her diagnosis was very realistic. It was an okay book.

I have heard other people like her, but haven't read any of her stuff. Good suggestion.

I don't know if you wanted their name to start with U, but since you said U in their name, I started looking back through my books. A U in a name was much more rare than I thought. I enjoy all Lauren Oliver and recently read Don't Look Back by Jennifer Armentrout and enjoyed it.

Lol, you know my love for history!

I feel like pacific vortex starts with a p...

Yeah, Kevin, that might be a good one for me to do.

I looked for a bit yesterday and found a few. Mostly x-men something or other, but nothing I really wanted to read, lol

Anyone have recommendations. I am looking at Zero Day as of now.

Thinking about You or You Can Trust Me. I could use some recommendations. :)

Definitely need help here. I read I Am Princess X earlier and might cheat a little and make it my X. I mean it has an X as an entire word; that counts for something...

I am looking at Wake, The Walls Around Us, We Are the Goldens, What We Saw, When, or The Winner's Curse. I recommend Water for Elephants or We Were Liars.

I got nothing! Help!
