2015 Reading Challenge [Closed] discussion

We'll read Dorian Gray for the same week (with at least another member :)).

You won't need to catch up a lot as you'll have plenty of free time with all the books you already read!
I like "Touch not the cat" as a title, did you like the book? :)

Great progress! I'm thinking about adding Outlander to my list.

I don't see many people reading Heart-Shaped Box... it's one of my favorites.

The concept behind The Husband's Secret really made me think and the ending is very powerful. You'll have to update what you think :)

Colleen Hoover's Slammed or Hopeless for the one set in high school.

Graphic novels aren't my cup of tea either. I read Clockwork Angel as it was one my daughter had and loves. I ended up giving it ★★★☆☆ but graphic novels still won`t be on my regular reading list.

You're doing pretty well :)

As ever, my graphic novels recommendations for people who are not in the super hero stuff and want a standalone with a good story:
I Kill Giants
Oz: The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (it's the full story, with great drawings)

I'm a hugh Harry Hole fan and loved Nesbø's series about him. But I haven't read The Son yet. I've considered it but I'm afraid that it just won't be the same without Harry. Maybe I should give it a chance anyway!

Looks like you are getting really close to finishing. That's great!

WOW!! You've already read SO many books! I see you are considering Red Rising. I found it a little difficult to get into but the further I got in the book the more I liked it. It was the same for the sequel Golden Son. They start off a little slow but then get really interesting. I've also read Outlander and it is one of my favorites!

Wow, not many left to go for you. Some good titles here to inspire me too. Thanks :)

Ah...I just started the Great Gatsby and I see you have it under books with a bad review...so, I'll use it for that category too.

well I think it was required reading in high school but I have no memory of actually having done so

I've had the same experience. I remember the cover. That's about it!

Nice book choices Stephanie :) I see you've got a couple Stephen King choices on your list. I love him. How did you like Under the Dome? It's probably my all-time favorites of his so far that I've read, although I think I'm in the minority on that.

Oh my god, Stephanie, you're almost done!

Wow, you're almost done with your list! I hope you'll enjoy Outlander more than I did :D You may have an idea for your graphic novel week already but may I suggest Neil Gaiman's Sandman? LOL. I'll be reading it and I have to suggest Neil Gaiman just because :))

Stephanie wrote: Hi Ebony,

Thanks!! :D I liked Under the Dome, but I still need to read Part 2. The books that I have are split so I haven't read the ending yet. The first part I would have to go 4.5 / 5 and it would be up there in my favorites. Have you read a lot of King?? I am on a quest to read or re -read most of his... :D (probably a long-term quest) "

I'm glad you enjoyed the first part of Under the Dome! I've read quite a few of his books, although definitely not all of them. I'm on the same quest as you. I'm trying to complete all his novels at some point but I know it'll take a few years. I'm really excited for his new novel Finders Keepers :)

Nice job on getting close to the end of your list!

You're almost done! I love Bared to You, the last books not so much.

Your list is really impressive and you've basically nearly finished it! I'm in awe! There are a lot of books on your list that are on my to-read shelf but I didn't manage to wedge them into any of my categories, maybe next time I can get them in there!
