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

SEPTEMBER 2011
13 - The Year of the Flood by Margaret Atwood
This took me ages!! And I was a little bit underwhelmed... having heard alot about Margaret Atwood, I was a little disappointed - it was just too long!

I'm trying to move house and have struggled as most of my boxes are full of them! I do have a new Kindle though (very excited!!) so hopefully that'll stop me buying lots of books (or at least ones that take up space...)

My aim for this challenge is to try and read books that I already have as opposed to buying new ones - I went through a phase of buying loads of the 3 for 2 books at Waterstones and have struggles to get through them all. My pile is diminishing, but very very slowly!

12 - The Angel's Game by Carlos Ruiz Zafon

11 - Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck

10 - Good Wives by Louisa May Alcott

9 - Random Acts of Heroic Love by Danny Scheinmann

This was recommended to me years ago by a good friend and I have never got around to reading it... am already hooked; can't imagine it'll take me long to read!

8 - The Reptile Room by Lemony Snicket

7 - The Bad Beginning by Lemony Snicket

JUNE 2011
1 - One Day by David Nicholls
Brilliant read; definitely worth all the hype!

2 - Little Women by Louisa May Alcott

3 - The Blood of the Angels by Eugenio Fuentes
This was translated into English by my Aunt, I really enjoyed the story - got through it very quickly.

JULY 2011
4 - A Million Little Pieces by James Frey
A harrowing view of rehab - worth reading if you're in the right state of mind (ie. not feeling too sensitive!)

5 - Change of Heart by Jodi Picoult
Was disappointed with this one; I'd never read Jodi Picoult before and wasn't impressed with it, although the concept could have led to a great book.

AUGUST 2011
6 - The Help by Kathryn Stockett
Really loved this book. Could not put it down!!
