I love her challenges too! I have Cinder on my bookshelf waiting to be read...it's actually one of the books I started to pick up and never really had the time to commit to reading. I'll put that at the top of my reading list for you.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the kind words! So glad you're playing along again. (And I'm glad Ech is willing to help you out haha.) I have really been wanting to read The Sun Also Rises since I read The Paris Wife earlier this month - maybe I'll use that for my before-I-was-born category, too! Good luck. :)
ReplyDeleteI need to go get my list ready! I'm going to attempt this BUT I know I won't finish all of my books lol
ReplyDeleteoooh love this list! i haven't read any, i dont think. actually, i think i read the game of thrones book but didnt finish it. i would like to read the sun also rises, but we'll see!
ReplyDeleteDreams of Gods and Monsters AND Game of Thrones in the same summer?! You're all about the huge books ha :)
ReplyDeleteIf I could recommend a biography for you that I loved: OPEN by Andre Agassi. I'm not a tennis person, and it changed my entire perspective on biographies. He's a fascinating human. Also, if you haven't read "Just Kids" by Patti Smith, that's a music one that I think you might really love. ALSO, speaking of music, you should read "Miss O'Dell" by Chris O'Dell. That totally made me fall in love with a whole new era of music. :)
Very cool..I would read Game of Thrones first, and get it out of the way. It's pretty lengthy and tedious.
ReplyDeleteoooh so many good books! Let me know what you think of Flora & Ulysses, I've heard so much about it!
ReplyDeleteI'm excited to do one of her challenges for the first time. Nice list! I love that you put up the covers of the books.
ReplyDeleteAre you a fan of classics? I'm interested in what caused you to choose the Hemingway. I may just be too unsophisticated to appreciate it, but my mom and I have a standing joke about how that book is written :-)
I've got the second GoT book as my book in the "didn't finish the first time" category. They're so interesting, but there's SO MUCH information.
ReplyDeleteI have not heard of any of these stories before...but I can't wait to hear what you think of them! New follower from Beyond The Gradebook!
ReplyDeleteI think the category for books that people didn't finish is the most interesting! Game of Thrones eh? Good luck with it this time around. And best of luck with the challenge.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the list of these books, I've already read three. I really liked it. I love to read, I relax when I read books. Guys, what helps you to relax and unwind? By the way, I like to read, but I don't really like writing essays. If I need to write an essay, then I will order it from this service WritingEssays.com. Guys, do you use such assistants? Tell us what other services you use. Thank you all in advance.
