My "C" contenders are: "Cursed" by Jennifer L. Armentrout, "Chime" by Franny Billingsley and "Crash" by Lisa McMann. I generally read from the library so it depends on what will be availble soon.

I haven't read any yet. I have some saved to my "to read" list.
I agree with "Cinder" by Marissa Meyer - I had to finish that book quickly to find out the ending. Is the Career of Evil a series?
I've decided to read Catch-22 as my first C book. An American classic that I have never read-we'll see how it goes.
Mod
Is the Career of Evil a series?"
It is the 3rd in a mystery/detective series. Each book is a new case, so it's not necessary to read them in order to understand, it just lets you get to know the detective and his assistant. But I feel like they are what keeps me coming back more than the new mystery.
Mod
I'm in the same boat. It's one of those I should have read and am embarrassed to admit I haven't.
I will be finishing up my "C" book today! I'm enjoying it so much I believe I will be reading another Jennifer L. Armentrout book, "Don't Look Back" as my "D" book! STILL waiting on my "A" book to become available from the library! I have 2 on hold and am next in line on both! Geesh, hurry up people! I wanted to stay in order. Smh Kassi, we will need some more alphabet bookshelves! Lol
Mod
Cool!!! I'm so excited we are reading the same book! (As if we don't read A LOT of the same ones already!)
I finished "Cursed" by Jennifer L. Armentrout. It was a fun read, however I started feeling like it was dragging on at times. I did find it somewhat predictable. I'll be trying another of her books as I found that this one was somewhat low in the ratings.

We had to read it in high school as one of the English Lit modules, comparing and contrasting with another c - Captain Corelli's Mandolin.
My C book is going to be Carpet Diem: Or...How to Save the World by Accident
I have completed my "C" book as previously recorded but I have added to my "C" list of books to read this year. They are: "Crash" by Lisa McMann, "The Cuckoo's Calling" by Robert Galbraith as well as "Career of Evil" by the same author; "Catacomb" by Madeleine Roux (after I finish the other books in the series first), "The Conspiracy of Us" by Maggie Hall and "Cress" by Marissa Meyer. I HAVE TO FINISH THE LUNAR CHRONICLES! Lots of books to read!!!!!

Started Calling Me Home by Julie Kibler on the recommendation of a friend. I might have to get more ideas from her as this one is very good so far! Also have The Confessions of Max Tivoli, a Benjamin Button type story.
My daughter suggested I read A Child Called "It" (Dave Pelzer #1)by Dave Pelzer

Kassi wrote: "A very sad book, Kevin, but important, I think."I just finished "IT". Interesting book that would be good for any educator to read to remember how some kids are treated when they are not in our classroom. I do have to admit I was a bit skeptical and looked into the story and saw there were some discrepancies in his story. Overall a good book.
So, I am still stuck on my B book. I love it and hear myself saying "me too" but I just haven't gotten the will to plug through it. I hate when that happens. A book starts out as the perfect book for you to read at the time (or so it appears to be) and then you plow through it or give up and then later on it keeps calling to your brain to read it again? Yeah. That's where I'm at on my B book. So I'm halfway on that and started my C book.I read "Cracked Up To Be" by Courtney Summers. This started out like my B book. I read it once and put it down. I couldn't quite get through it. I made it through this time, and it wasn't a bad book, even if it was a bit slow at times. The ending was worth the wait, but I would have liked a little more thoughtfulness and analysis at the end.
Mod
Others I considered: "The Cage" by Megan Shepherd, "City of Savages" by Lee Kelly, "The Conspiracy of US" by Maggie Hall, "Criminal" by Terra Elan McVoy, and "A Court of Thorns and Roses" by Sarah J. Maas which doesn't sound like something I would like, but has been highly recommended to me.
Books I have read that I would recommend: "Cinder" by Marissa Meyer, and "Crash" by Lisa McMann. I also liked the first Robert Galbraith book, "The Cuckoo's Calling," but I think the series gets better later.
