At the beginning of this year I decided to read 50 new books, inspired by a challenge Kristina from the Five Awesome Girls completed last year. Here’s my progress so far.
1. Inkheart by Cornelia Funke: I would have loved this if I were a bit younger, but it was pretty good, anyway.
2. I Capture the Castle by Dodie Smith: Honestly one of the best books I’ve ever read, highly recommended if you like love stories.
3. A Northern Light by Jenifer Donelly: Quite good, especially since it’s based on a real event in history.
4. Ironside by Holly Black: Sequel to Tithe, and just as good.
5. I, Robot by Isaac Asimov: Intelligent,realistic, and an influential piece of science fiction (see my review of the movie in Movie Reviews).
6. The Gossip Girl Prequel by Cecily von Ziegesar: Ignoring the unrealistic characters and bad influences, this book was pretty hooking.
7. Lock and Key by Sarah Dessen: This author was built up to be something special, but I actually found the book a bit dull.
8. Valiant by Holly Black: A book loosely connected with Tithe and Ironside, but still featuring those fabulous scary faeries, which is what I like about the series.
9. An Abundance of Katherines by John Green: Funny, witty, and smart, I highly recommend this to my fellow nerds and just about anyone else.
10. Pretty Little Liars by Sara Shepard: It sounds like another gossipy girl book, but it’s actually pretty captivating and creepy in places, in a way that makes me want to finish the series.
