1: A book you meant to read in 2015, but didn't
- What are you reading this week?
Queen of Shadows
- Was it a book you deleted from your 2015 Reading Challenge plan or just a book from your reading list?
Just a book from my general TBR. I never make a plan for these things, just fill in the spaces as I complete books that meet the challenges.
- Is there another 2015 book you'll try to read this year?
Soooo many. I am terribly behind. I am not in the minority when I say I have already or wish to attain far more books than I will ever be able to complete. Which is sad...if you think about it. So many books, so little time.
- What are you reading this week? I read Serafina and the Black Cloak. Finished it on January 2nd.- Was it a book you deleted from your 2015 Reading Challenge plan or just a book from your reading list? I did not participate in last year's challenge, but it was from my 2015 TBR. Plus, I wanted to read it prior to my daughter. Glad I did, a little scary for a 10 year old.
- Is there another 2015 book you'll try to read this year? I wanted to read Throne of Glass which I hope to start this year.
What are you reading this week?Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. I'm home for the holidays so thought I'd start with a reread of an old fave.
- Was it a book you deleted from your 2015 Reading Challenge plan or just a book from your reading list?
I meant to reread it last year but didn't get around to it.
- Is there another 2015 book you'll try to read this year?
Lots!
What are you reading this week?
- Was it a book you deleted from your 2015 Reading Challenge plan or just a book from your reading list?
This is my first time participating in this challenge. I have seen this book a lot in reading lists so I added it to my list

A whole TBR list :)
-What are you reading this week?Just finished The Maze Runner
- Was it a book you deleted from your 2015 Reading Challenge plan or just a book from your reading list?
I've been wanting to read it for a while and I've been avoiding the movie until I had read the book.
- Is there another 2015 book you'll try to read this year?
A lot of my books are books I found in 2015 and added to my TBR
I meant to read David Mitchell's, "The Bone Clocks". I just finished it and sorta wish I had just left it unread.
so out off 1,141 pages of my copy of The StandI've only got 488 pages left to go. then if I can finish it to its off to pick up my next book
- What are you reading this week?Imagine Childhood: Exploring the World through Nature, Imagination, and Play - 25 Projects that spark curiosity and adventure by Sarah Olmsted

I didn't participate in the 2015 reading challenge, but this was on my book reading list for 2015.
- Is there another 2015 book you'll try to read this year?
Yes, there's a ton of carry over from 2015 TBR list
Progress Post:- What are you reading this week?
Roots by Alex Haley
- Was it a book you deleted from your 2015 Reading Challenge plan or just a book from your reading list?
I just never got around to this in 2015 - 1 reason could be that my edition is 917 pages long :)
- Is there another 2015 book you'll try to read this year?
Loads, I didn't do much reading last year, I was so busy with work and preparing for a new (first) grandchild
I was quite disappointed in 'The Girl in the Spider's Web', but then again I was disappointed with Sophie Hannah's Poirot Book as well.
I've never read Roots but I watched the TV mini series of it, and it was incredible. Very heavy and disturbing. Rightfully so, too. I'm sure the book will be excellent!
I have about 200 pages to go of Illuminae.I hope to have it finished tonight and then it'll be on to the next book on my challenge list!
Although 200 pages sounds like a lot, a few of the pages in Illuminae are laid out in a very abstract and unique way which make them quicker to read than your standard novel.
- What are you reading this week?The Martian
- Was it a book you deleted from your 2015 Reading Challenge plan or just a book from your reading list?
I never completed my 2015 reading challenge, so this is the one book I will count as overlap!
- Is there another 2015 book you'll try to read this year?
Yes…haha…I still intend to finish my 2015 challenge but won't be counting them towards this challenge. I'm really excited to read All the Light We Cannot See
- What are you reading this week?What If? : Serious Scientific Answers to Absurd Hypothetical Questions
- Was it a book you deleted from your 2015 Reading Challenge plan or just a book from your reading list? I didn't have a 2015 plan.
- Is there another 2015 book you'll try to read this year? I've got a goal to read 60 of my physical to be read pile, so yes, lots.
I read The Middle Ages by Morris Bishop, just finished it at the last minute.I am new to the challenge in 2016, so no.
I have about 20 books that were on my to read list from last year so hopefully I can use them for some of the other topics!

Amy and Rodgers Epic Detour

- What are you reading this week?Station Eleven
- Was it a book you deleted from your 2015 Reading Challenge plan or just a book from your reading list?
It's been on my reading list for a while, and I had it as a possibility on my 2015 reading plan (number in the title), but I ended up reading another one.
- Is there another 2015 book you'll try to read this year?
Loads... I want to read for example All the Light We Cannot See, Americanah and The Handmaid's Tale, but my list is very long (and has been for years)

Go Set a Watchman
The Girl on the Train

- Was it a book you deleted from your 2015 Reading Challenge plan or just a book from your reading list?
I read the first book of the series (A Arma Escarlate) for the 2015 RC. I was going to read A Comissão Chapeleira just after it, but I was behind the schedule so I kept putting off and then the year was over.

Yeah, a lot of them. The Silver Witch, Vanishing Girls, The Book of Life...

Both. I've been wanting to read the book for years, and it was one of the books from my 2015 reading plan.
- Is there another 2015 book you'll try to read this year?
Yes, a bunch. From The Unbearable Lightness of Being by Kundera to The Name of the Rose by Umberto Eco
I'm finally getting to my first ATY book. My first two reads were for the rejects challenge and kind o' chunky. I'm ready to get going on this challenge!What are you reading this week? I'm reading Armada by Ernest Cline
Was it a book you deleted from your 2015 Reading Challenge plan or just a book from your reading list? It wasn't on my plan last year. I read Ready Player One last year, which was on my reading plan, and loved it so much that I decided to read Armada as soon as I could. I wanted to squeeze it in for 2015 but, unfortunately, it didn't happen.
Is there another 2015 book you'll try to read this year? There are quite a few books from my 2015 plan that didn't get read last year. I'm hoping they make the cut this year but... who knows? I'm a mood reader. Atonement, The Fault in Our Stars, Love, Rosie, You're Never Weird on the Internet, and Red Rising are a few that spring to mind.
- What are you reading this week?At the Water's Edge
- Was it a book you deleted from your 2015 Reading Challenge plan or just a book from your reading list?
Just a book from my reading list. I tried to make time for it in 2015 and failed.
- Is there another 2015 book you'll try to read this year?
Probably. I stopped adding books to my TBR in 2015 because I got too busy with other things.
I'm going to try to read in order :)

Probably quite a few.

Progress Post:- What are you reading this week? P.S. I Still Love You
- Was it a book you deleted from your 2015 Reading Challenge plan or just a book from your reading list? This book was just on my plan since I read the first book in the series To All the Boys I've Loved Before
- Is there another 2015 book you'll try to read this year? I am not sure yet
For week one I am reading P.S. I Still Love You.
- What are you reading this week? The Hour I First Believed- Was it a book you deleted from your 2015 Reading Challenge plan or just a book from your reading list? This was one lent to me in January 2015 and I had planned to read it several times but was intimidated by the page count.
- Is there another 2015 book you'll try to read this year?
Oh yes. I have 2 more lent to me last year and then a pile of series I wanted to get through last year that just didn't happen.
- What are you reading this week?
Ugly Love by Colleen Hoover
- Was it a book you deleted from your 2015 Reading Challenge plan or just a book from your reading list?
I always meant to read this in 2015 but it never made it as priority.
- Is there another 2015 book you'll try to read this year?
I will probably try and squeeze in another book by Colleen Hoover as I loved Ugly Love so much.
What are you reading this week?I just finished The Crime of Living Cautiously: Hearing God's Call to Adventure for this prompt.
- Was it a book you deleted from your 2015 Reading Challenge plan or just a book from your reading list?
I got this book at my work library (where there's no check-out limit) in November and it's been mocking me ever since. Thus, I read it to get it off my nightstand!
- Is there another 2015 book you'll try to read this year?
I have Searching for Sunday: Loving, Leaving, and Finding the Church and The Secret Chord listed in other prompts, so at least 2 books published in 2015 will get read! And I'm sure others will pop up.
I have just started Apple Tree Yard for week 1. I bought this book specifically to read in 2015 but didn't get round to it.. It didn't form part of my 2015 Reading Challenge though as I don't formulate a plan ahead of time ... I pick and choose as I go along... I either pick a book I fancy and then find a category it will fit; or sometimes I pick a category I fancy at that moment and then seek out a book to fit it!
I can't read all the books in order because several of my planned reads are wait listed at the library. I will jump around as their availability and as my general flighty mood allows. :-)What are you reading this week? Quarter Share (Nathan Lowell)
Was it a book you deleted from your 2015 Reading Challenge plan or just a book from your reading list? It was a book I started in November 2015 and then set aside to complete the 2015 reading challenge. It didn't fit in any of the categories that I had remaining to fill.
Is there another 2015 book you'll try to read this year? There were lots of books that I didn't get to last year but wanted to. Some made it on to this challenge plan, some don't fit here, but I will more likely read them anyway. :-)
I'm also a jumper, but surprisingly I really did read the first week's book during the first week.- What are you reading this week?
I read A Walk in the Woods, which was sort of a random book from the tons of books on my TBR. But I had planned to use it for another challenge in 2015, the challenge expired before I managed to get to this. Really enjoyed it too.
- Was it a book you deleted from your 2015 Reading Challenge plan or just a book from your reading list?
Just from my TBR shelf, plus I happened to own it already.
- Is there another 2015 book you'll try to read this year?
Umm, this is a bit hard to answer. I always plan several books for various challenges, so I guess I plan to read them, but I never managed to read them all, so in that sense they are pushed forward into this year. I guess I at least hope to make a dent in my owned-not-yet-read book pile.
- What are you reading this week?This Song Is (Not) for You
- Was it a book you deleted from your 2015 Reading Challenge plan or just a book from your reading list?
This one is from my TBR list, but I've been meaning to get to it for a couple of months at least!
- Is there another 2015 book you'll try to read this year?
Plenty. And some from 2014. and 2013, too.
- What are you reading this week?Divergent by Veronica Roth
- Was it a book you deleted from your 2015 Reading Challenge plan or just a book from your reading list?
It was a book from my reading list

Quite a few of them actually.
I actually did this week one, but I am updating now :D- What are you reading this week? Eleanor and Park by Rainbow Rowell
- Was it a book you deleted from your 2015 Reading Challenge plan or just a book from your reading list?
I wanted to read this book at the end of last year but didn't get around to it quick enough.
- Is there another 2015 book you'll try to read this year?
Lots
I am reading
Illuminae
this week.I didn't participate in the 2015 Reading Challenge. This is a book I purchased last year when it was being so hyped up and I wanted to let the hype down a bit before picking it up.
I have a lot of books from 2015 that I will probably read this year.
- What are you reading this week?Dance with Dragons by George RR Martin
- Was it a book you deleted from your 2015 Reading Challenge plan or just a book from your reading list?
From list from last year, had planned on finishing before new season of show starts
- Is there another 2015 book you'll try to read this year?
This is my first year to the challenge, so all new books!
- What are you reading this week?Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail by Cheryl Strayed
- Was it a book you deleted from your 2015 Reading Challenge plan or just a book from your reading list?
From my reading list... After watching the movie last year I really wanted to read the book, but I was still in classes at the time and didn't have a lot of time for recreational reading.
- Is there another 2015 book you'll try to read this year?
Definitely a few.
- What are you reading this week?Succubus Blues by Richelle Mead.
- Was it a book you deleted from your 2015 Reading Challenge plan or just a book from your reading list?
It's a book from my re-reading list. I want to re-read more of the books I enjoyed so much. Last year my count rose up to 19, but my goal is that every fifth book I read is a keeper I had already read before.
- Is there another 2015 book you'll try to read this year?
Other books I want to re-read soon are Magic Strikes, Immortal Beloved, Scruples Two: Fifteen Years Later, Saving Francesca
What are you reading this week?Armada by Ernest Cline
was it a book you deleted from your 2015 Reading Challenge plan is just a boom from your reading list?
I didn't finish the 2015 list and this one was of many I didn't finish.
I am reading in order, I am just very very behind on my progress posts! :) - What are you reading this week?
by Rainbow Rowell- Was it a book you deleted from your 2015 Reading Challenge plan or just a book from your reading list?
This is my first year doing this challenge, but it's been on my TBR for most of 2015. I had only just heard about Rainbow Rowell in February of 2015.
- Is there another 2015 book you'll try to read this year?
Too many to count! Probably about 1/3 of my book list this year are books I wanted to have read last year.
- What are you reading this week?Raising Steam by Terry Pratchett
- Was it a book you deleted from your 2015 Reading Challenge plan or just a book from your reading list?
I didn't find this reading challenge until mid-2015, so I wasn't participating. I had tried to complete the Discworld series last year, and managed to read all but two. I was slowed down by needing to wait for the later books to become available at the library and ended up reading other books while waiting.
- Is there another 2015 book you'll try to read this year?
There are two other books that I wanted to read in 2015. The last Discworld book, The Shepherd's Crown will be my #31 for this year's challenge and John Scalzi's Zoe's Tale will be my #20.
I started the year with The Goldfinch--the longest book on my list! I meant to read it last summer, but never got to it. It was not at all what I expected, though I enjoyed it nonetheless. Now I have three weeks of catching up to do, so on to other books.

- What are you reading this week?Steelheart - Brandon Sanderson
- Was it a book you deleted from your 2015 Reading Challenge plan or just a book from your reading list?
I didn't do a challenge in 2015, this is my first one! So it's a book I had wanted to get around to last year, but I'll be reading it now instead.
- Is there another 2015 book you'll try to read this year?
Quite a few I wanted to get around to, but really just as much of my TBR pile as possible.

From my to read list. I bought it in 2015 and meant to read it but put it off.
