Cam's 2014 Reading Challenge

[Cam]

My goal is set at 25!

(If you are wondering how I read "so many books in one day", I didn't. I'm just adding books that I read earlier this year, but hadn't added them on Goodreads

[Kara]

That's a great goal, Cam! Best of luck with it.

The Ocean at the End of the Lane
4.5/5 Stars!

At the start of this book, I thought that it was "just okay", but then near the end, I realized how it was put together so amazingly, and I didn't fully appreciate it until it was over. Definitely will re-read it sometime soon!

Coraline
3.5/5 Stars

It was interesting and had a good plot, except I just didn't enjoy it as much as other books. I had seen the movie a few years ago (before I knew there was a book), and somehow the movie didn't spoil the book. Some people said that this book was creepy, but I don't really get why...

The Diviners
4.1/5 Stars

I really enjoyed this book at the start, but at the end it started to get less interesting... It seemed like a book that should have been much shorter, but it seemed that the author wanted to prolong the book for no reason.

Monument 14
2.8/5 Stars

This book has a great plot in my opinion, a bunch of kids trapped in a mall when the apocalypse is happening, but I was very disappointed by the style of writing and the way the story was put together.

All Our Yesterdays
4.8/5 Stars!

This book was amazing. The complex plot with time travel may be confusing at first, but then you will be mind-blown by how everything works together. This story was cleverly put together, amazingly written, and overall a very good book!

The Fault in Our Stars
4.8/5 Stars!

I gave this book the same rating as All Our Yesterdays because both books were amazing. This one was amazing in a different way. It was a great realistic story about teenage life (with cancer), and was so inspiring. Greatly written. This story will stay around for generations!

Eleanor & Park
4/5 Stars

I really enjoyed this book at the beginning and middle, but nearing the end, I started to dislike one of the main characters (Eleanor), and that was very hard to ignore... She ruined the end of the book for me, but it was written very well.

Secret Histories
4.2/5 Stars

I really enjoy the I Am Number Four series, but I don't generally enjoy short stories, but I enjoyed these short stories a lot more than others.

Romeo and Juliet
4/5 Stars

This book was written very well (obviously, because of The Bard), but it is the kind of writing that is so good except takes a while to translate it, and that doesn't really make me want to keep reading the book.

Feedback
3.8/5 Stars

I enjoyed the first book in this series a lot more than this one. This book seemed like the ideas were more frantic and that the author made up the book as he went, when the first book seemed well thought out.

I think I was the only one who liked this when I had to read it in High School. Glad you liked it as well. Great job on your goal btw :D

Paper Towns
4.5/5 Stars

I really loved reading this book! It has mystery, romance, blah blah blah and all that other awesome stuff! This book was the best book that I have read in a long time!

If I Stay
3.4/5 Stars

This book had such good potential... It had a great idea and I feel like the movie will be great, but the book was more memories, and I just feel that a book needs a bit more structure to be good.

Rogues
4.4/5 Stars!

I absolutely love Patrick Rothfuss, and that's why I read this book. Even though it wasn't as good as The Name of the Wind or The Wise Man's Fear, it was written awesomely and was very relaxing, and I enjoyed it so much.
