Brittany's 2020 Reading Challenge

[Brittany]

Also finally finished listening to I don't want to wait a year for the next one. Took me awhile to finish as I was trying not to inhale it plus hadn't had as much listening time the last while.

[Brittany]

Read artwork is impressive

[Brittany]

Read only complaint was how short it is! Loved the storyline. Lesbian vikings fighting for their right to choose.

[Brittany]

Read it was alright

[Brittany]

Also read which was adorable

[Gord]

Glad you're enjoying Flying Witch. I love how it's so chill and yet shows us the most fantastical stuff all around us.

[Brittany]

Loved the whale!!! That is just too cool. I would totally ride a whale and explore the ruins.

[Gord]

Imagine explore the world on the back of a giant flying whale. That would be fun.

[Elena]

I totally forgot that I wanted someday to read The Flying Witch manga. Thanks for reminding! And I'm glad you found it adorable.

[Brittany]

read good end to the comics

[Brittany]

I finally finished reading good book that took me far too long to read

Kay that means I should be good to start EoG right away! I'll start either Monday or Tuesday probably

[Brittany]

Read and loved it.

[Brittany]

I finally finished and I don't get the hype. I'll finish the series because I like the world but I don't like Jude.

[Brittany]

I also finished listening to really enjoyed the audio. Good book. Has some issues and isn't exactly what it say it is but I enjoyed it a lot anyway

I didn’t like her either but she grew on me in the last book!

[Brittany]

Well here is hoping she does for me too!

[Elena]

Oh you didn't like The Wicked King much? I have the series on my TBR and going to give it a try. Sometimes I like books other people don't. Hope these are the case.

[Elena]

And I'm also very glad you've enjoyed The Court of Miracles.

I loved them! It definitely seems to be a series that opinions are divided on. Hope you enjoy them :)

[Brittany]

It does, I am in the minority about not loving the Folk of the Air series. Its just okay for me. Its quite common that I don't love the hyped up series as much as I expect. I love the world, just don't care much for the characters.

[Brittany]

For the month of August I will for sure read

Beyond that unsure, some comics for sure and maybe some of these?

[Elena]

I'm looking forward to read your thoughts on The Empire of Gold. I'm planing to read the 2 and 3 books someday too.

[Brittany]

I'm loving it so far, about 1/4 of the way through

[Laura ☾]

Yaaay! I feel like the series got better and better with each book and the first one was great already!

[Brittany]

Right?! Her writing just gets stronger. I love it

[Brittany]

I finished the train wreck of This was so horribly disappointing with how much I loved furiously happy.

Now I am starting on ebook and in hardcopy as it was lent to me by a friend who said I have to read it

[HeatherH]

I own Let's Pretend but haven't read it. Good to know to go into it with low expectations.

[Brittany]

Very very low expectations. It didn't age well. I admit that there are parts that may have worked better when it first came out. But yeah I did not enjoy most of it.

[Brittany]

Read and Such enjoyable mangas!

[Brittany]

I decided to keep reading manga so I finished sadly this seems to be the last volume the library has! :(

[Gord]

This is where you kick and scream until the library brings in more.

[Brittany]

Pretty much yup! It doesn't work as well as I would like here but I'll go put in a request anyway

[Elena]

I envy you ladies! I don't even have an access to the library and have to buy all the books and mangas I read :(

[Brittany]

That would break me Elena! I'd have to quit reading them.


So I finished the super disappointing . I gave it two stars but that might be generous. Very little of the world is explained, one of the characters is impossible to like for much of the story and the other lacks depth. Great concept but never got there.

[Jo]

Ah that's such a shame Brittany, maybe that's one to take off my TBR then!

[Brittany]

I just finished listening to and while it isn't quite as amazing as Code Name Verity, it is fantastic in its own right. I loved seeing what happened to Jamie and company. Even though I knew what had to happen it still managed to make me tear up. The narration for these books is incredible.

[Brittany]

This also put me at 80/80 books for the year!!

[Laura ☾]

Yay congrats!

[Gord]

Congrats!

[Jo]

So glad you enjoyed The Enigma Game Brittany, also congrats on reaching your reading challenge!

[Brittany]

Thanks all! I never hit 100 books in a year but this year it should be doable unless I hit a major slump.

[Elena]

Congratulations on your 80 books! That's awesome!

[Brittany]

read solid comic with pretty artwork. Would really like to know when/if there is going to be a second volume though!

[Brittany]

I finished the mostly terrible super disappointing book.

Next up

[Anna]

80 books! You’re doin’ great, Britt!
