Ash’s comments from the Challenge: 50 Books group.

13. Eclipse by Stephenie Meyer

Finally finished this one. Took me about a month.
Still not going the way I wanted it to go. Oh well, I need to complete the series, so on to Breaking Dawn.

I have already bought all 4 books, so I'm going to finish them all ($22 or more apiece!) I've finished Eclipse now, and it's still not going the way I want! We'll see how it all turns out - thank you for the encouragement! :)

12. New Moon by Stephenie Meyer

A complete let-down from the initial book in the series. Although that's not unusual, I was heavily disappointed in the fact there was next to zero action in the book. Over 400 pages of "teenage angst" and nothing was resolved/decided. Of course, I'm caught up in the love story, and it's not going the way I want it to. :( I'm having a hard time picking Eclipse back up because of that.

11. Twilight by Stephenie Meyer

9. Choke by Chuck Palahniuk.
10. The Memory Keeper's Daughter by Kim Edwards.

8. The Crucible by Arthur Miller.

Better the third time. Since in Salem, I wanted to re-read this book, and it was completely different and far more powerful this time.

7. The Virgin Suicides by Jeffrey Eugenides.

*I would like to see the movie now that I've read the book. Should be interesting with Lux played by Kirsten Dunst.

6. Fight Club by Chuck Palahniuk.

5. The Book of Illusions: A Novel by Paul Auster

*Slow at times, and somewhat disappointing. Looking into other Auster books.

4. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows by J.K. Rowling

*SO sad the series is over, yet, somewhat happy with the ending. Wish there was more, but isn't that what all authors aim for?

3. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince by J.K. Rowling

Here we go! A little late, but still in the challenge!

1. Survivor by Chuck Palahniuk
2. The Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis

only 48 more to go! :)
