2025 Reading Challenge discussion

Hello, my name is Antonella and I haven't read any books in a loooooong time, so I am trying to challenge myself to read at least 5 until the end of this year.

I've literally have no idea with which book to start, but as I said in my introduction, my dad passed away not long ago and I am looking forward to read anything that will reset my mind. I have been too sad...Or tired to pretend that things are fine after the loss of my father. So if someone could help me with any good books related to motivation, inspiration or something related to find that spark to slowly process this pain, I will be very grateful!

#1 ???
#2 ???
#3 ???
#4 A Brief History of Time by Stephen Hawking
#5 The Call of Cthulhu by H.P. Lovecraft

Wishing you the best of luck!

#1 Tell Me Three Things by Julie Buxbaum (24/06/2019)


-Tell Me Three Things ★★☆☆☆

The book was ok. It was easy to read but maybe not what I was looking for. I thought that the character would try to focus more in overcoming the sad feelings about her mother and figuring out how to deal with those emotions throughout the story. Instead, it turned out to be a romantic story that I would have prefered to read when I was in high school. There was one point in the story where the ending was too obvious and I lost interest. I still managed to finish because it was a light reading but wouldn´t recommend it to a friend.

Best of luck with you challenge, Antonella! Have you read Becoming by Michelle Obama? Not really about the loss of a loved one, but definitely inspirational.
