I hope everyone is having/has had a happy holiday! Did anyone get any books gifted to them this year?

I got I Am Malala: The Story of the Girl Who Stood Up for Education and Was Shot by the Taliban and The Death of Mrs. Westaway I'm so excited to read them! I also got my own copy of Rebecca which was awesome because it was my favorite book I read this year, and I'm sure I'll want to re-read it!

It has been a while since I read the series, but Candy might not get more fleshed out until the 3rd book. But like you said the world building is amazing!

I think it goes under the radar because a lot of people don't like books with a weak plot. My absolute favorite book is Alice in Wonderland, so obviously I don't mind a book that focuses on the world more than the characters. I completely understand why someone wouldn't like that though.

Welcome to Hufflepuff Lea! What did you think about Abarat? It is one of my favorite series. :)

Patti Smith at the Minetta Lane audio only, maybe it counts?

Finished 12/19

Books 12 (& maybe 13)"

Sorry Basak, I don't think this should count as a book. Most of the reviews on goodreads say that it is not really a book. What did you think of it though? I like learning about that time period in New York. It sounds interesting.

Barbara is the 4th Hufflepuff to reach over 100 books during this challenge! Congratulations! :)

I can't believe it, but we have only 2 weeks left! We have done great over the course of this challenge, I'm so proud of all of my fellow Hufflepuffs! Let's see how many more books we can finish!

Updated!

Sorry, I was going to do overall totals today, but I am super busy. I probably won't update again until Sunday.

It's so hard to pick just 3!
Rebecca
The Hate U Give
The Disaster Artist: My Life Inside The Room, the Greatest Bad Movie Ever Made

I didn't include The Complete Maus because it is a graphic novel, but it is the best book about the holocaust I've ever read!

*edited because other people have included honorable mentions, and I feel bad leaving out The Kite Runner It was so good!
