i am already following this challages since jan. marked 5 checkboxes already.
A Book by a Female Author– It was made into a movie in 2007
– Set in a different country than mine
– It made me cry (because it was way too boring)
– It’s an author I have never read before
i am considering different book for very challenge even when one books cover 2-3 challenges simultaneously, will be more fun.
like namesake by female author only.
for movie i will be reading maze runner.
etc
that mean at-least have to read 50 books in whole.(including short stories, graphic novels)'Let the Fun begins"
– It made me cry (because it was way too boring)"Loooool that's funny, man :-D
Or perhaps you like everyone else could have read the bovine waste that's called The Fault in Our Stars and join in the Crying Club.

I have not read the book but movie was kind of nice, i do not understand how can embracing reality be boring? but than interest can vary...

I have read that one too. Did't interest me. At least the story moved and I wasn't crying out of boredom :p

I am putting a tick against just one box with The Namesake. The one I wrote in bold. While I am stating what other boxes could have been ticked. But they are not because what's the fun in that then?
i loved The Fault in Our Stars call it waste or whatever. no crying though no book or movie ever made me cry but i love this book.
Book by female author. Namesakebook by author you never read before. Ocean at the end of the lane
Book set during Christmas time. Let it snow
Graphic novel. Sage vol 1-18
i will read more of one challenge i hope but try to read atlest different book of every challenge and will have to modify some.crying maybe read that i considered emotional my most.
mom loved, my mom dont read have to turn this one to father.
i think this challenge will be a great way to diversify reading. but some of it would be hard how can one finish the book they have not finished in 3 years even when they own a copy...
hate love triangles
and graphic novels no way...
rest is easy!!
started but not finish. it easy for my. How it happened. started last April and been on my currently read shelf for year now....lox will finish it.its great challenge to read more and more. 10 month is enough to complete its just a start

I was referring to how the book makes so many readers cry. So if someone's looking for a book to make them cry, The Fault...is there to help.
And embracing the harsh reality of life is all good, but how the book goes about doing it is as divorced from reality as Star Trek.
I know many people love the book. No offence to those who do!

If you watch the movie, you might. It is one of those movies which builds towards one moment, and the directors delivered it well.... wont give you spoilers but it is a must watch... for those into historical fiction or realistic fiction even a bit
Zarish, I know of the movie. Didn't know it was based on a book. Probably I won't read it but I will watch it.
This is interesting challenge, I'll try to follow.The Faults in Our Stars is may be the best book for crying but its too much real, its exactly how it feels. I've read it twice and thinking to read again, I always feel this book has given words to my feeling.
