2016 Reading Challenge discussion

Reading Challenge 2
- A book based on a fairy tale
- A National Book Award winner
- A YA bestseller
Red Queen - good, but I feel a trifle overhyped.
- A book you haven't read since high school
An old school book I brushed up on for this challenge
- A book set in your home state

- A book translated to English
The Trial - it may be a classic, but it was just too deep and confusing for me.
- A romance set in the future
- A book set in Europe
Us - don't know what I think about this one, very real but some of the characters are just irritating.
- A book that's under 150 pages
Andromache - a classic that was so soap opera-esque it was rather painful

Go Set a Watchman - an interesting take on an old classic, it was definitely a more adult look at Scout's world and the time period. Though To Kill a Mockingbird was way better.
