Kasia Tricia originally suggested this challenge...

Read Your Name Challenge: you take the letters of the month, and for each letter you find a book which either has an author whose last name starts with this letter or a book which title starts with the given letter. Remember to disregard all the articles: a, an, the...

The duration of challenge is from the beginning of the month to last day, but you can post your list ahead of time ;).


(J-U-N-E is not bad, it's one of those short months)
;D

message 37: by Jane(Janelba) (new)

Jane(Janelba) (janelba) | 769 comments Great Job Kasia ! What did you think of Uglies?


message 38: by Kasia (new)

Kasia Uglies was gooooooooooooooood. Despite some flaws, Uglies got 5 stars from me. I know Westerfeld is negotiating movie details this week, and I just finished reading it - so very exciting.

But I can see how some people might have issues with Uglies, or further in the series (with Specials) Westerfeld goes on and on about Cutters and critique of self-mutilation comes too late. So in that aspect, it's not the greatest YA novel ever. But if it's the entertainment you're looking for - that's guaranteed. I'd put it in the same box as The Hungers Games and Ender's Game. It's so much fun, there's action, there's romance, there's plenty of thought provoking material. A good read overall.

Kasia Hi Holly, we're well into June now, so if you won't get everything on time - don't worry, we'll be doing this challenge next month as well ;)


message 41: by Yz the Whyz, Moderator (last edited Jun 19, 2009 07:15AM) (new)

Yz the Whyz (whyz) | 9327 comments Welcome, Holly!

Congrats, Shazzy!


message 42: by Kasia (new)

Kasia Oh silly, me I've missed that. Congrats Shazzy, yet another challenge completed.


message 43: by Holly (new)

Holly | 50 comments Thanks Kasia and Yz. I'm a fast reader so hopefully I'll be able to finish all five. Plus, I'm going away for the rest of the month so that means no work to distract me from what's really important - reading!

This group looks like a lot of fun and I hope it helps me to manage my out of control TBR mountain.


message 44: by Kasia (new)

Kasia Oh, lucky you - no work. I so envy that!


message 45: by Holly (new)

Holly | 50 comments I've got unread books that are coming up on the year mark and now I'm starting to get guilty every time I buy a new book. My book buying has really gotten out of control within the last year. I needs to start reading these books!
