2015 reading challenge
It helps if you read it naked whilst at lunch.
I will add
to my list for 'female author'
Hunger games completed, that's a third of a book crossed off the list. haha
Was a lot better than I expected, really quite clever at times how it was written, especially the build up to the start of the games.
Well
was a catastrophe but I list I have the color in the title
Haha when you starting book 2? What was so bad about it then?
I think it's funny how everyone either hates it or loves it. I personally thought it was pretty cool.
I couldn't connect with any of the characters, the writing was pretenious as hell and the story was like a mash up of everything popular in the last couple of years. There was nothing original about it.Oh, I won't read the second one. I won't waste my time or money on it.
And I'm done with a non-fiction book. Just finished
for a class at university and at least I can use it here.
Are you studying sociology? :DFriends of mine are reading Goffman :D
No, I study German and English but a part of my German studies is Communication Theories and Social Interaction ^^
Well done. I've been working on my over 500 page book, Don Quixote, just under 1000 pages.
I'm slowly doing 'The Mists of Avalon' for owned but never read. I have this book for ages now haha
Finished second hunger games book today, one more and I can tick off the trilogy. woohoo
Yes it isn't too bad it is quite addictive, you want to read more, a bit like the lunar chronicles. The only problem is I don't really like many of the characters. Finnick wasn't too bad but I probably liked him as he is as handsome and courageous as me. ;)
I think the reason for disliking some characters is because most of them are not written to be likeable. Katniss for example is quite frustrating and not easy to read due to her PTSD. My favorite two characters are Finnick and Peeta ;)
I did like Cinna but I not sure of his current status?
They explain what happened to him in book 3
I finished
and I'm gonna use it for the A book based on its cover. That cover did deceive me, it was not what I expected it to be
13th book completed, In Bed with Jane Austen I've put this down as recommended by a friends seeing as Ashleigh told me to read it.
14th book finished too. Damned got this one because of the cover, one of the first books I added to my tbr list. The picture of the devil is awesome, reminds me of an old tattoo.You guys might like this book, I would recommend it.
Yeah in bed with Jane Austen was good fun. I have the third book ready to read soon.
15th book, non-fiction book completed. 98-367: MTA Security Fundamentals it was a riveting read. haha
I'll just added
for the 'Funny Book' and
for 'Set in High School'
Tinka wrote: "I'll just added for the 'Funny Book' and for 'Set in High School'"What did you think about Look Who's Back?
I really enjoyed it. It was funny, but very thought provoking and the research was incredible
Just finished
and originally I was going to use it for the TV show base on a book, but now I rather use it for a number in the title because those books are harder to get than a TV adaptation these days
Finished
so I'm going to use it for the classic romance
is going to be my book by a new to you author
17th item crossed off the list. I have finished the hunger games trilogy, pretty big task finished.
And what's your opinion on the trilogy overall?
I enjoyed it, I am glad it was only the 3 books, so many authors like to keep throwing them out until it becomes really bad.
Yeah that's true, I'm glad it wasn't dragged out. Even though I believe the final book could've been a little longer.Have you watched the movies yet?
I saw the first one when it came out.... will be watching them now I have done the books.
So, I finished
and it is a book that contains magic, so I can tick that off the list
Watched the first hunger games movie, pretty poor compared to the book.
The first one wasn't that good, but Catching Fire and Mockingjay Part 1 are a whole different level.
Yeah, a friend of mine said that too. Hoping it will be good, also interested to see who plays Finicky and BeeTee as I liked them.
So, I finished
which is a book with non-human characters
What did you think? Getting into the books yet?
Oh, that will be my last one of the series. I like Eric and Pam but the rest is just too dumb to get through. Idiotic main character and a cringeworthy romance
Haha what about the TV series? Have you tried that?
I made it into episode 3 and couldn't get into it. Does it get better and is worth trying again?
Nah, I enjoyed the books and the series, which was silly at times, sounds like it isn't your sort of thing.
Probably not.Does it count as a trilogy when the series was originally published as one and a prequel was only released years later? I mean a prequel doesn't reall count right?
If I included a prequel it would bug me that I didn't do it properly, it probably counts though. Doing the first three books from a series would be the same, I'm probably a bit OCD though. hehe
