Prompt 5: A book with a number in the title

[Ann]

What books are you reading in this category? What recommendations do you have? Are you using a numeral like the book "1984" or something like "A Tale of Two Cities"?

[Alycia]

I've been wanting to read "Station Eleven" by Emily St. John Mandel

[Julia]

I have read "1Q84" by Haruki Murakami, and loved it although a little long, it only seemed that way because it was over repetitive.

[Angie]

I read Eight Cousins by Louisa May Alcott- great book!

[Kerri]

I'm going to read 1984 by George Orwell. It's been on my to-read list for years and I received a copy for Christmas.

[Jessica]

[Megan]

I plan on reading 1984 as well.

[Alexis]

Slaughterhouse Five

[Jackie]

I finished up Lean Mean Thirteen by Janet Evanovich

[Leah]

I read Station Eleven. To Alycia, I highly recommend it!

[Juanita]

I read One Plus One by Jojo Moyes. I very much enjoyed it.

One Hundred Years of Solitude is also on my list but I am planning for that to be my "book originally published in another language."

[Nikki]

I read Four: A Divergent Story Collection by Veronica Roth for this prompt. This was the last of the books based on the Divergent characters I had yet to read. I am kind of sad that I have finished them all now as I really enjoyed this world and these characters.

[Jane]

I am reading One Plus One by Jojo Moyes.

[Megan]

I read 84, Charing Cross Road for this one. It is a delightful book featuring a series of letters and is no more than 100 pages long. I highly recommend it!

[Luella]

I'm pretty sure I'm going with Fahrenheit 451
by Ray Bradbury.

Update: Read it. Kinda depressing to see it come true though..

[Melanie]

I read Station Eleven by Emily St John Mandel. Really liked it. Highly recommend!

[Kirsten]

I just finished reading The Boat of a Million Years by Poul Anderson

[Michelle]

Twenty-Eight and a Half Wishes

Fun book. I think I got it for free, or very cheap, on Amazon. For free you can't fault it.

Looks like a series but I wont be reading any more of it.

[Lisa]

I enjoyed Agatha Christie's "Five Little Pigs" for this prompt. An earlier read I really enjoyed that might count was "NOS4A2," super scary story written by Stephen King's son. The latter has a Christmas sort of setting in case you're doing two-for-one on the challenge :)

[Alexis]

I finished Deep Down Dark: The Untold Stories of 33 Men Buried in a Chilean Mine, and the Miracle That Set Them Free. I wept several times while reading about the terrible ordeal these men endured and the difficulty they faced recovering from the trauma.

[Spring]

I read Five Children and It. It was fun! A children's fantasy. It also counts for "more than 100 years old" but I didn't know that before I read it for this item.

[Michelle]

Just added that to my list of books to read with my kids. I think they'll love it. We like Nesbit anyway and have a ton of her books.

[Melody]

I read Th1rteen R3asons Why by Jay Asher as my first book in the challenge. Randomly picked it up while hanging out at a friend's house and read the whole thing in one sitting. It's not the best book I've ever read but it's very well written, gripping, and cathartic. It also counts for the Banned Book and High School Setting categories.

[Guylian]

Kurt Vonnegut - "Slaughterhouse Five"

[Gabriella]

I am reading 1q84 by Murakami

[Mikalina]

I just finished Den 5. plage by Lotte Petri. It's a Danish author and I read the book int Danish so I don't know the English title of the book. But I know it was a nice book! ;)

[Kelly]

I read Mr. Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore. It was a fun read! Set in San Francisco, after the 2008 economic crisis. There is a secret society and trips to the Google campus.

[Krista]

I read The Three, by Sarah Lotz.

[Kerryann]

I've just finished 48 hours (city of London #1) by J. Jackson Bentley

[TheCarmanita]

Just started the audiobook of Mr. Penumbra's 23 Hour Bookstore. Mr. Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore

[Angela]

Three Cups of Tea - Greg Mortenson

[Sarah]

I read Life of Pi, I figured that counted. (Neither pun intended!!)

[Brooke]

for this i read
