Phoebe S. | 10 comments Hey all,

It's been a while since I've done a reading challenge, so I'm going to start with 12 and revise upward if I get there (I'm doing well, so it's a real possibility). Here's all the titles I've read so far.

1. The Three-Body Problem
2.The Dark Forest
3.Death's End
4.Born a Crime: Stories From a South African Childhood
5.Divided: Why We're Living in an Age of Walls
6.Meddling Kids
7.Whispers of Shadow & Flame
8.Empire of Bones
9.Taína
10.The City of Brass
11. Political Islam in Tunisia: The History of Ennahda
12. Death Comes for the Archbishop

I'm currently reading The City of Brass. As you can see, I tend towards fantasy or sci-fi with a little non-fiction thrown in (my next book is probably going to bePolitical Islam in Tunisia: The History of Ennahda), but I'm not adverse to shaking it up a little.

Ilona | 4698 comments Best of luck with you challenge, Chris! You've already read quit a lot of books!
If you would like to shake your genres up a little (or a lot), we have a yearly challenge called Genre Bingo, which might be right up your alley.

You should read City of Stairs dude. My god, it was incredible. You might like it.

Phoebe S. | 10 comments Thanks, Celine! I'll check it out.

And I'll definitely check out Genre Bingo too, Ilona.

City of Brass was good, but it dragged. I'd highly recommend both Political Islam in Tunisia and Death Comes for the Archbishop, but for very different reasons.

In other news, as you can see, I've finished my original goal and revised it upward. I'm reading Fly Already: Stories, planning to read Tuesdays with Ted, and then I'm going to read Song of Blood & Stone. I'm reading the Earthsinger Chronicles completely out of order lol.
