Brittany's 2020 Reading Challenge

[Brittany]

Do it Lili! Get a copy of Wayward! I think you will enjoy it

[Brittany]

Starting another challenge because why not?
School Supply Shopping (2020)

[Brittany]

Finished it was alright, had some great concepts just also had a few things I don't love. Absolutely going to read the first full book in the series though.

Starting

[Brittany]

Finished

[Anna]

Mistress of the Blitz sounds like it would be a great read, Britt! Can’t wait to hear what you think of it.

[Brittany]

I've listened to all of 10 minutes so far. But I will definitely let you know

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

Let me know if/when you start White Hot Kiss. You know I'm always up for discussing JLA *insert heart eyes emoji*

[Brittany]

I will let ya know Kay!

[Brittany]

read it was pretty meh for me.

[Gord]

Same. The art work was good but the story itself was just meh.

[Brittany]

Exactly Gord! There isn't enough story. The art though I am all for. Did you read on? Did it get any better?

[Gord]

I read the second volume and the story was still meh

[Brittany]

Thanks, that pretty much solidifies my choice to not continue

[Gord]

That was my conclusion after the second volume.

[Brittany]

Read and loved it

[Elena]

The artwork of the last one looks so good!

[Brittany]

It was! And historical fantasy with sleepless knights. So good, definitely recommend. I'm just waiting to get the second and final one from the library.

[Brittany]

I finally finished reading and have mixed thoughts.

[Elena]

I've just added the Sleepless to my TBR. If I have the opportunity to get those books, I'll definitely read them.

[Brittany]

Awesome! Hope you do Elena!

[Brittany]

I'm adding another challenge because why not? I'll never get all 24 prompts done but curious how many I can do

Masquerade Oct 1-Nov 30 0/24

[Gord]

That is another challenge group I've been pondering about. The first question I have is do I really need more challenges? The second question I have is how firm are the dates for the challenges over there? For instance the one you posted above. Is it over and done at the end of November or is it open until you're done?

[Brittany]

From what I understand they are usually pretty done on those dates. But there is nothing stopping you from completing it here afterwards. And more challenges is just fun, nobody ever "needs" them lol.

[Brittany]

Read it was a good manga, there was enough there to keep me wanting to continue the series.

[Brittany]

Adding another challenge, one that I will never complete because I don't typically read 50 books in 5 months never mind 50 preset one. Plus this doesn't count graphic novels or manga. I am curious how many of these I can do though so I'll try it any way

Oh, The Books You Can Pack Oct-Feb 0/50

[Brittany]

I did a first rough draft on those 50 books from the above challenge, my goodness do I have way too many books I want to read in the immediate future! So many books so little time....

Thoughts on my current list?

[Elena]

I've read only one book from your list (Insurgent) and liked it. But not as the first one.

I'm also looking forward to read your thoughts on Gods of Jade and Shadow, Lily of the Nile, Cinderella Is Dead.

[Laura ☾]

Oooh I'd look forward to your thoughts on Gods of Jade and Shadow, A Court of Wings and Ruin, Song of Achilles and the rest of Kate Daniels!

[Liliana, YA Paranormal Lover]

Wow, good luck on the challenge, girl! The Song of Achilles was incredible! I still think about it from time to time... it was just so good! I also really enjoyed The Girl from the Well which is perfect for this time of year because it's nice and spooky! And as you already know I adore The Lunar Chronicles and Heroes of Olympus! I have not read Antigoddess but it's been on my tbr list for a long time! I'm interested to see what books you get done!

[Brittany]

I have Girl from the Well on hold at the library because it is the best time of year for that type of thing!
Antigoddess I keep putting off. I will probably love it but idk it keeps getting put back on the shelf...

[Brittany]

Finished so good!!! Definitely my favourite of the series so far.

Going to start on ebook and in hardcopy

[Laura ☾]

Let me know how you get on with those!

[Brittany]

Will do! I have a day off finally tomorrow and all I have planned for the day is a well deserved massage so I should have some reading time!

[Brittany]

Read good volume but I liked the first one better

[Brittany]

Read this series has been going downhill for me after the first one had such potential. Figure I will try one more and see if it improves

[Brittany]

Finished reading it was a strong 3.5 star book for me. Definitely enjoyed it but didn't love it. A few things were missing.

I feel ya! I would have loved to actually see more of their relationship

[Brittany]

Laura right? (view spoiler)[ and really he doesn't trust or believe her about the whole Dimitri thing and she takes him back way too quickly. Yes he learnt from his mistake when he saw things for himself and was doing things to help after that but still. There was something lacking in their relationship after that point. Before that it was cute, two people who had major crushes on each other as kids giving it a shot. There just wasn't enough shown to us for this love to exist. (hide spoiler)]

[Laura ☾]

Yes! I get you completely

[Liliana, YA Paranormal Lover]

You did great on your challenges! Good luck this month! 😊

[Elena]

Great progress! And I love your plan. Looking forward to hear your thoughts on Curse So Dark and Lonely, Insurgent and the manga you're going to read.
Also I'm starting ACOTAR series this month and maybe I'll catch you up when you start #3.

[Brittany]

That would be great Elena! I do them in audio and have them already just need to hit the right mood for the next one and not have a million things from the library at the same time!
Loving Curse so Dark and Lonely so far! Need to sit down and finish it.

[Elena]

I have 1 and 3 of ACOTAR series on my e-readers and the 2 on audible.
Great you love the Curse!

[Brittany]

I'm impressed, I have a really hard time switching from audio to written and back. Once I choose a medium I pretty much stick with it unless the narrator isn't great.

[Elena]

I read written books faster than audio. So I prefer reading when I have some free time and listen only while walking (aka getting some fresh air) and doing something not focus-heavy (like chores, gardening, daily emails, skimming through job offers etc).

[Zeal]

@Brittany Best of luck for your Challenges :)
