I'm curious, what is your native language? Love that you can read in multiple languages, so neat!

Thanks! Never had a place to keep track of things before so I had no idea how to do it, but it makes everything so easy. My native language is portuguese, I'm from Brazil. I kind of have to read in multiple languages since some books just take so long to have a portuguese translation. Sometimes they're not translated at all and I end up having to get ebooks.
Mod
I'd love to visit Brazil one day
Brittany wrote: "Very neat! Sometimes books lose something in translation so I wish I could read more in their original form. I'd love to visit Brazil one day"
They do, but reading in another language takes so much more focus. In the beginning I took almost double the time 'cause I kept missing things and having to read the whole page again.

Nice challenge and a list of books you have here :) Good luck on your challenges!

@Luisa when it's still fun, it's never too far :D

How did you like Insurgent? I'm finally going to read it next month I think.
Elena wrote: "@Luisa when it's still fun, it's never too far :D"I guess, I just don't think I'll be able to complete most of them. Doing them is way more entertaining then completing them anyway.
Brittany wrote: "What Elena said! And challenges are just fun, whether you complete them all or not!How did you like Insurgent? I'm finally going to read it next month I think."
I'm not sure. I liked it as much as I liked Divergent, but I didn't really like that a lot either. It was a good sequel, and I can't actually pinpoint what made me not like it that much, I guess I just didn't like the pace or how things seemed to be always a repetition. Still, it was a good book, and it made me hate Christina a bit less and love Four a bit more.

Kayleigh {K-Books} wrote: "What did you think of Allegient Luisa? I never ended up reading that one after I had the ending spoiler for me. I decided not to bother haha."I definetly think it was better than Insurgent, it was more intresting and the plot just felt more well thought. I kinda pushed myself to read it in the beginning since it was the last book of the series already, but it was totally worth it. The beginning kinda feels like they're going to fix everything too fast and have nothing else to do in the rest of the book but after you realize how much they still need to do it gets so hard to stop reading.
Mod
Yes, love Percy Jackson! Me and my best friend actually ended up becoming friends because of those books :)

What do you think about The Lunar Chronicles? You are so good with finishing the series! Just stick to one till the very end. I'm so bad at this... Jumping from one series to another and end up only adding the new ones to my list :D
Liliana wrote: "Oh hey good luck on your challenge! You've read so many great books! PJO and The Lunar Chronicles are just two of my favorites! And it is so cool that you read in multiple languages! I only read in..."Thanks! Yeah they are definetely some of my favorites. I used to only read in my native, but then I moved to Spain so I had to change that, when I came back I kept reading both and reading in english just became a necessity since I could only find some books in english. Now as long as I don't mix in the middle of a series they all feel pretty natural to me.
Elena wrote: "What do you think about The Lunar Chronicles? You are so good with finishing the series! Just stick to one till the very end. I'm so bad at this... Jumping from one series to another and end up onl..."I really loved Cinder and I wanted to jump straight into Scarlet but I was waiting for my cousin to read it so we could br, turned out she gave up on Cinder and I felt like continuining Percy Jackson first.
I'm really bad at finishing series actually but since I have so many started I just entered on some series reading challenges to make me finish them.
It usually helps if I start the next one as soon as possible, so I don't need to talk myself into starting a new book.
Starting:
Not feeling the want to read Scarlet rn, I kinda just wanted Cinder #2 instead of having to start a whole new story before knowing what happens with her. Also I need a book from 2015-2016 for my challenge so I'm hoping this is good.
What a nice idea of entering the challenge to make you finish the series. Maybe I'll try it too :)

Brittany wrote: "Curious to see how you like Rebel of the Sands"I liked it. It isn't going to be one of my favorites but it was enjoyable and I quickly fell in love with the characters. I liked that it had some cliches and some things that were the total oposite of a cliche and I definetely will continue this series.

Yes, I missed Percy so much in the first book, I remember being so excited for the second book because I wanted to see him again!

Oh yeah, definitely wasn't an issue as such, I enjoyed The Lost Hero, but I just really wanted to know what was going on with him! I read them as they were coming out, so we had to wait a whole year to find out what had happened!
