HeatherH's 2020 Reading Challenges
Finished
and loved it! Narration was perfect on this one <3
Mod
Let me know what you think when you do get to it!
Mod
Definitely worth the credit Brittany! I read with 5 other gals and 4 of us did audio and all loved the narration!
Finished
which makes another series completed (as far as what has been published anyways)!
Mod
Finished
which was sweet! And also book #100 for the year!
Mod
Mod
And good to know its worth the credit!
Finished
and it was such a powerful and painful story to read.
Finished
and was once again blown away by Sanderson's incredible writing!
I've finished
and
this past week and really loved them both! More than We Can Tell also finished another series for me!Working on wrapping up
and
to wrap up this month.I found an app called Serial Reader that sends you a snippet of classics a day at a time until you finish. Started
with that. Last night was the first episode, took about ten minutes to read, and there are 33 episodes so I'll finish it around the end of June.
Mod
She's definitely becoming one of mine as well!
Mod
Serial reader app also sounds really cool. That's a good way to get through those harder classics.
Oh I loved Circe! It was a bit of a wild ride for me at some point, but it was definitely worth it by the end! It was amazing!
So I'll better plan it for summer. I haven't yet bought the book though.
It really is good. I am not a fan of Greek mythology because it is very hard for me to keep up with it, I find it complex, but this one was nicely explained and the story was actually meant to teach us what character growth looks like
Mod
Yeah I enjoyed Circe too, my main Greek mythology reads before this were middle grade (mostly Percy Jackson books!) so it was interesting to read a more adult retelling.
So I believe as a huge fan of Greek mythology, I have to enjoy it even more. Thank you for all the opinions.
Oh, if you love Greek mythology then you'll have no problem reading this!

Ringmaster's Daughter is actually pretty disappoining. Not much circus atmosphere portrayed and the MC is super unlikable. Some interesting side characters but eh.. it's sitting at like 2.75 stars for me as of now (I'm 70%in)
@Elena -definitely you should read it! I'm loving it! And Jo, same for me other than Song of Achilles that I jsut recently did as well!
Mod
May Stats:I read a total of 25 books. of those, 20 were audio and 5 were physical reads. I read 8 adult, 1 graphic novel and 16 YA. Ten of those were new to me authors. I finished 4 series (as to what is published at this point), and added 3 new series. They rated as follows:
11 were 5 stars, 7 were 4 stars, 5 were 3 stars and 2 were 2 stars.

Also Circe... greek mythology. I need that book, I love greek mythology.
Three books done this month:
Working on a re-read of the Black Witch Chronicles for the new release next week! Also re-visiting Twilight before the new book in August!
Mod
It was really good! The romance was maybe a tad quick but otherwise I really enjoyed it. The NASA theme was new and different.
Mod
How'd you like The Last Time I Lied? I read it last year and enjoyed it! Not as much as his first book Final Girls, but it wasn't bad.
I liked it, but not quite as much as Lock Every Door by him. Final Girls is on my list too!Revisiting Twilight all these years later is an experience for sure!
Lock Every Door was truly good! I would like to read more of Sager's books!Revising Twilight now should be an unique experience for everyone I think :))
Mod
Lock Every Door is one I'd like to read at some point.
I just can't do it with the revisiting of Twilight. Too afraid that I will truly hate it and don't want to taint that memory.
Totally get youI somehow liked Twilight when I first read the series but I think I will totally hate it if I were to re-read it 😂 definitely a unique experience for me 😂
Lock Every Door I do recommend, it's thrilling
@Brittany - not as bad of instalove as many I've read, just not a slow burn either. I got Sager's new book in the Book of the Month club this month and am so excited for it! But I do agree with Teodora in that Lock Every Door is definitely one I'll recommend to people!
I'm one of those people who Twilight was very meh for me the first time and so far seems to be about the same this time. Though maybe more fun since I'm group re-reading it with some friends.
Mod
I was OBSESSED with Twilight back in the day. Reading it now, I know I won't have the same experience and I'll probably be disappointed by it, but I'm just really curious! It's probably been 10 years since I last read it.
I got Sager's new book early thanks to BOTM and am so excited for it!
Finished my
re-listen and also finished
which was one of my most anticipated summer releases and was sorely disappointed unfortunately.
