2025 Reading Challenge discussion

This is the first book I've read when I started my reading challenge! I technically started this in late June, but basically my goal is to read at least 30 books in 6+ months. This is a very short book review I made for this book (and yes, I rushed through it; book reviews aren't my favorite, but I still try to write one for every book I read), so if you haven't read this book already you should give it a shot! "The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins is a dystopian novel set in the future in Panem, or what is left of North America. The main character Katniss is a strong, independent hunter and is a great role-model for anyone who reads this book. If you like The Maze Runner, you'll love this book."

I guess while I'm at it I'll add some of the books I've already read (in addition to The Hunger Games) and some books I would like to get to by the end of this year.
Read:
-The Hunger Games (Suzanne Collins)
-Catching Fire (" ")
-Mockingjay (" ")
-A Monster Calls (Patrick Ness)
Reading:
-1984 (George Orwell)
TBR:
-Children of Blood and Bone (Tomi Adeyemi)
-The Catcher in the Rye (J.D. Salinger)
-Legend (Marie Lu)
-Prodigy (" ")
-Champion (" ")
-I Am Malala (Malala Yousafzai)
-Lord of the Flies (William Golding)
-Matched (Ally Condie)
-Crossed (" ")
-Reached (" ")
-Serafina and the Black Cloak (Robert Beatty)
-Book Scavenger (Jennifer Chambliss Bertman)
-& more!

Good luck with your reading challenge!

By this point, I think I can get to 30 books over the summer. We're already halfway through it, and I'll admit I'm not that far into my challenge yet, but I think if I persevere I can get closer. I'll be extending my half-a-year reading goal to 50 books in total, wish me luck!
