Lieke | 697 comments Only 13 books left to read, so I'm on track.
But I'm not making much progress with my current book and have a lot of big books left on my plan. So I'm going to see if I can use some of my side reads to tick of some more prompts. And maybe change a few planned books for thinner ones.
Because it feels like the beginning of a reading slump....

Lieke | 697 comments I finished reading Some Girls Are by Courtney Summers for 31. A work of young adult fiction.
While reading I had to put away the book a few times. It is about a bully who becomes the victim. It is about a few heavy topics.
And it made me think a lot, I'm glad I never saw or was involved in anything like this.
But it was a very good book and it gave me a lot of feelings (not all good).

Lieke | 697 comments I finished reading Tigana by Guy Gabriel Kay for 10. A book by an author you feel you should have read by now.
I liked this fantasy book a lot!
Never read anything by him before but will look at the other books he wrote.

Lieke | 697 comments I updated my list with books I read as side reads, so now I only have two more books to read.

I read Tigana years ago and really want to re-read it next year!

Lieke | 697 comments Thanks Marina :)

I liked it a lot and would like to read other books by him, did you read any other books by him?

Lieke | 697 comments I finished book 51 Gerechtigheid by Stieg Larsson for 9. A book that was mentioned in another book.
I liked the book a lot and there was just enough repetition to make me remember what happened in the first two books.
Now I have to decide if I start a new book, or if I'll try to finish one of the two books I have started earlier this year. Only one book left :)

Marina | 1312 comments I re-read all three books from the Millennium series earlier this year. Great books all of them!

One week to finish off, you can do it :-)

Lieke | 697 comments I didn't finish my last book for this challenge.
But since I read 87 books this year I can replace my last prompt (32. A historical fiction book) with the wild card and this means I did finish the challenge :)

Zaz | 2969 comments Haha, good idea. Congrats for all the reads :)

Lieke | 697 comments Thanks, I really wanted to finish the challenge without the wild card but I didn't get a lot of reading done in the last week of the year.
