Brittany's 2020 Reading Challenge

[Brittany]

Yes I listened to it and I loved it! The narration is well done, definitely recommend if you enjoy historical fiction.

[HeatherH]

Awesome, I'll be adding it to my tbr!

[Anna]

That sounds great, Britt! Adding it to my tbr.

I really think you will love it

[Sonnie]

Ohh I'm adding it too! Did you ever read The Bronze Horseman? It's set during that time. Anna recommended it to me and I think you would probably enjoy it too! It's another 5 star read for sure.

[Brittany]

I have not read The Bronze Horseman it looks pretty good!

[Brittany]

Read

[Brittany]

Finally done !!! It was just okay for me. Not a book that ever really made me want to pick it up and read it. The last 10% or so was the best of the book though and I will finish the series

[HeatherH]

Cinder and Cress are definitely my faves of the series. Hope book 3 is a better overall experience for you!

[Brittany]

Thanks HeatherH! Loving my read of so darn good!! I'll likely finish it before bed and I don't own the next one.... could be bad.

Mistborn is on my TBR for this year! Skyward is the only Sanderson book I've read and LOVED it so I'm anxious to try more of his work!

[Brittany]

Gah!! The original Mistborn Trilogy!!!! So much love for those books. I keep lending mine out to get more friends reading them. I cannot wait for you to start! I want to hear all about it as you read them!
Also since starting Era 2, I really get why people keep rereading the cosmere universe books as new ones come out. There's so much interplay and I love it. I have the first 2 Stormlight Archives ones to read but wanted to finish Mistborn first.

[HeatherH]

I'll definitely keep you posted when I start and as I read!!!

[Elena]

I've also planned to read the Mistborn this year. I've already read several books by Sanderson. And I loved all of them.

[Brittany]

Please do! Finished amazing! Nothing like I expected and that is in such a good way. Seriously wish I owned the next one so I could start it right now.

[Brittany]

Finished loved it, flaws and all

Do one on here so I can jump in periodically with comments!

[Elena]

@HeatherH yeah, let's do it!

@Brittany I've also decided to add Furiously Happy: A Funny Book About Horrible Things to my TBR.

[Brittany]

Nice Jess!! I hope you enjoy it

I'm down! Early April is packed but later April or anytime after that! Also, Furiously Happy is one of my faves so I hope you find enjoyment in it!

[Elena]

@HeatherH late April works good for me too. Somewhat around 20th will be perfect.

[Brittany]

I'll put up a thread!

[HeatherH]

Thank you Brittany! Sorry we hijacked your page to plan it haha!

[Elena]

Thank you! Sorry for messing up with your page :D

[Brittany]

Lol its not a problem!

[Brittany]

Finished listening to and then read the short story This series is fabulous!

[Elena]

Oh what are you doing? :D One more series on my TBR.

[HeatherH]

Brittany wrote: "Finished listening to and then read the short story This series is fabulous!"

I'm planning to try book 2 soon! I enjoyed book one well enough so hoping to enjoy the rest!

[Brittany]

Jess wrote: "Oh what are you doing? :D One more series on my TBR."

Yay for adding more series!! This one is a lot of fun. I will love Ezra forever. He is my fave of the mages. If you like audio the narration is good.

[Elena]

@Brittany I've already bought a book on Kindle :D actually I prefer reading to listening, but sometimes I also buy books on audible.

[Brittany]

I prefer physically reading usually too. But I like listening while doing housework or driving.

[Elena]

Same, I like listening when I can't read because of being busy with something not to focus-heavy :D

[Brittany]

Exactly!! And certain books were better for the narration. Some of those narrators are gems!

[Brittany]

Finished on ebook and enjoyed it well enough, I'm getting through a love triangle without wanting to throw it out the window!
Now to read

Which makes me caught up on this comic.

[Liliana, YA Paranormal Lover]

Reading a book with a love triangle you don't wont to murder is a real miracle. Lol. Boy do I hate them 😂 But I'm glad you were able to get though it though!

[Brittany]

Right?! I am not a love triangle fan. But this one is okay, worth dealing with for the world building and all that. And sometimes they are done right and actually feel real which then they don't bug me but that is super rare.

Yes! Me too!

[Kayleigh {K-Books}, YA Fantasy Fan]

I don't mind love triangles if they're done right. It's the whole insta-love thing I can't cope with.

[Brittany]

Also true! I like my relationships to be real. Which is typically my problem with love triangles, one side feels forced/fake and is just there for drama

[Brittany]

Read a cute little manga

[Liliana, YA Paranormal Lover]

Oooh yes. Love triangles AND intalove... no gracias 😬 lol. Love triangles I can deal with if the story is interesting enough, but I don't think I've been on board with a single instalove relationship.

[Brittany]

I took a break from to inhale which came in 3 weeks early from the library. It was FANTASTIC. Loved it so much. I could not love Ezra more.

Sadly the library doesnt have the rest of the series so I will have to buy them. And I should take a break and finish other things.... Maybe.

[Brittany]

I've listened to a bunch more of A Court of Mist and Fury, definitely enjoying it more than the first one. Can't help but see the similarities in Mass' heroines right now though. Still have 18 hours to listen to so I'm sure it will improve even more.

Oh yeah she definitely had certain character archetypes- but I don’t mind it!
