Jonilee's Challenge

[Jonilee]

Hello all, I'm joining a bit late in the year, and am already ahead of the 50 book challenge (thanks to audiobooks).

I'm just looking for a community of readers! I might post to this later with an update on all the books I've read this year so anyone who has also read them might be able to chime in and we can discuss!

Cheers!

Welcome to the group, Jonilee! We've got a lot of readers here, so I'm sure you'll see lots of good lists and, if you're like me, end up adding a lot of books to your to-read list!

I hope you do post your books here so we can all see what you've been enjoying (or what we should stay away from!).

Happy reading! :)

Thanks Tiffany! Some of what I've read this year includes:

, absolutely amazing! I highly recommend this book.

Short and sweet Taíno childrens book

this one I did not actually finish because I hated it.

I was a bit disappointed in this one as it seems to be marketed more towards self-improvement/help and offered a lot of advice that way, and less of the cool research happening on telomeres. I guess I had just expected more science communication and less self-help.

great book with some good insights.

I thought this was a legitimate dictionary of what different floral arrangements mean, but it was not nonfiction. I stuck it through and it ended up being a far better story than I had expected.

an absolute must read, definitely recommend it.

inspiring and insightful, always good to delve into the lived experiences of someone as unique as Helen Keller.

great book for people looking to know a little about Hawaiian culture and history. Beautiful figures and illustrations.

I read and listened to both of these books. I actually preferred the progression of the Testaments far more than the way the Handmaid's tale was structured. The Testaments was easier for me to engage with.

this book was poignant and quite emotional. A very good glimpse into what it is to be a child soldier in a warring country.

excellent look at how individual dietary choices can alleviate climate change.

an interesting read for sure, with not much that I hadn't expected to hear.

I absolutely loved this book. I definitely recommend it for people wanting to read more indigenous literature.

That's all I'm willing to comment on/share for now (too many to actually list, haha).

Best,
