Agnieszka’s comments from the 2025 Reading Challenge group.

I wasn't planning to read this one yet, but since it's BOTM I'll rearange a little bit and join on this one :-) and it's the first time read for me, though I've seen several times the movie and really loved it. When I learned it is a book series I was really sad, they didn't make the other books into a movie.

Dang! You and i will be buddies then. Mine's the 9th. Not looking forward to it at all."

The 10 Candy Challenge
Duration October 1, 2016 to October 31, 2016
Completed: 8 tasks (22 books) /? - let's see how many I can collect - ahm I mean complete ;-)

Based on the Top 10 best selling candies for Halloween comes the delicious challenge...

1. Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups - creamy chocolate and salty peanut butter makes the perfect combination. Read a book where two very different characters work together to make the perfect plot.
by Toni Anderson
book 1 of by V.B. Tenery
by Karen Witemeyer
by Karen Rose

2. M&M’s - chocolate covered in yummy candy coating probably filled with wonderful nuts. Read a book where a character goes a little bit nuts but things work out well.
by J.A. Konrath
by Barbara Ellen Brink
by Mary Ellen Bramwell
by Harmony Raines
by Joshua Corin

3. Snickers - nougat, caramel, and peanuts coated with chocolate gives this candy bar a funny name. Read a humorous book sure to make you laugh.
by Diana Xarissa

4. Hershey’s Chocolate Bar - the classic milk chocolate bar. Read a classic novel that is sure to delight you.
by Jane Austen

5. Kit Kat - a chocolate covered wafer biscuit bar that is know for giving you a break. Read a book that is a quick and snappy read that is great for to read when you have a few minutes break in your day.
by Jordan Taylor 16 pages :-)

6. Twix - butter cookie, caramel, and coated with chocolate that also comes in many different versions and is popular all around the world. Read a book that is so popular it has been translated into many different languages.
by Karen Rose (at least 14 languages)
by Jeffery Deaver (at least 19 languages)

7. 3 Musketeers - a fluffy nougat filled chocolate bar that can have so many different flavors. Read a book of short stories filled with many different plot lines.
by A.W. Tozer (non-fiction: short teachings(?) to different topics)

8. Hershey’s Cookies and Cream - the name of the candy bar says it all and while the candy bar is less than 25 years old, it’s already a top 10 hit! Read a book was written in the last few years and is on the New York Times Best Sellers List.

9. Milky Way - chocolate malt nougat topped with caramel makes this candy bar out of this world. Read a book that is about outer space and traveling through the stars. (very unlikely)

10. Almond Joy - coconut based center topped with an almond or two coated in dark chocolate and it’s mysterious how it all works but it does. Read a book mystery made up different parts that make a satisfying whole.
by Lynette Eason
by Dee Henderson
by Karen Rose
by Linda Style
by David Baldacci
book 1 of by Lisa Ladew
by Chris Allen

There's no way I can finish any of my recommended book today - so I just updated message 33 => finished 4/5

Great idea, unfortunatelly I won't be able to manage in September. Perhaps I'll make a go fot it in October - just for me ;-)

=> Already booksmarked :-)))))))

updated message #33:
5* finished last night - if you like thriller - especially those with ambivalent characters and stories - you should look into this one.
I struggled with many parts of the story but still loved it and plan to read the next book in series as soon as it will be published and I will be able to convince my library to buy it ;-)

updated message 161 => finished 7/15

I second Northanger Abbey. Still wondering why I never read this one :-)

I'll try with 5 that gives me some additional motivation to finish now one of those three I started months ago :-)
