A Funny Book | 2015 Reading Challenge

Hi All! So it really feels as if I haven't posted a Reading Challenge update in forever. I've been falling behind, but hey! I'm catching up on them now. I also decided now would be a good time since my attempt at bout of books last week was an epic fail. I found myself in a bit of a reading slump so I just kind of gave up halfway through the read-a-thon. But now, I'm feeling better and getting back into the swing of things. Anyways, to start off with these posts again, I read a funny book recently which I did not anticipate to be super funny, but in the end I really enjoyed it!

For today's is a book from an author you love that you haven't read yet. This is one that I haven't read yet, simply because it was only released about two weeks ago!

A Book with Non-Human Characters | 2015 Reading Challenge

Hi everyone! I finished another challenge on the list and today it is a book with non-human characters. There are human characters in the book, but I selected this one because it features "cyborgs" and also those that come from the planet Luna, the "lunars". Any guesses yet what book it is? ;)

I recently finished a few challenges: A Book with Bad Reviews, A Book written by Someone Under 30, A mystery or thriller and more! You can track my progress here! 

A Book with Bad Reviews | 2015 Reading Challenge

Hi everyone! Today's challenge that I recently finished is A Book with Bad Reviews. I particularly am not fond that this a challenge to begin with, because it will either lead to more bad reviews or well, hopefully good ones! In this case, it was a book that was "ok" in my opinion. I did not love it and of course it had problems, but it was entertaining while reading. The series itself has gotten bad reviews because it originated as fanfiction about One Direction, but the numbers don't lie. There is quite a big following and a fan base for the series and I can see why a lot of people are attached to it. It did surprise me however as the series went on, but I think I might save that for another blog post.

A Book with Bad Reviews goes to:

After We Collided by Anna Todd

I recently finished A Book Written by Someone Under 30 and it is actually the same author as this one, Anna Todd, which you can read about here! And you can track my entire progress thus far here! :D 

A Book Written by Someone Under 30 | 2015 Reading Challenge

Hi everyone! I hope that you are all doing well. I have been reading quite a bit lately, so I thought I'd check some challenges off my list. For today's challenge, it is a book written by someone under 30. I was recently given the chance to read the first book in the Wattpad Sensation, After series by Anna Todd. From what I know, Todd is a 25 year old writer from Texas and her After series began on Wattpad and is now published into three books, the fourth one due next month. I will have a full review up soon for the book (debating whether or not to review the other ones after, since reviewing books in a series can be quite spoilery) but I think it is truly what Todd has been able to accomplish under 30. The book series already has been optioned for film and that is quite something!

A Book Set in High School | 2015 Reading Challenge

I was able to finish another book this week for #boutofbooks that helps with my 2015 reading challenge and that is a book set in High School. This book is primarily about high school and senior year and what happens when high school comes to an end and what is to come in college. I initially wasn't going to include this one in my challenges, but it turns out it fits nicely, so I thought why not?

A Book Set in High School goes to:

2015 Reading Challenge

Hi all! :D I hope you guys are having a lovely day. I have a super exciting post for you all! Last night, my best friend Nikki posted on twitter a 2015 Reading Challenge post and I decided to take part in it this year. It is a list from Popsugar and I think that it is definitely do-able. I will have update posts for every time I complete a challenge from the list and give my thoughts on reading the book - but a separate review for the book may/may not follow.

I also want to say now that if by any chance there is a crossover with reading for a read-a-thon or read-a-long, the book will still count ;P I know to some that may seem as "cheating" but I am really trying to pace myself this year and not overdo it and pick books that I will genuinely enjoy as opposed to picking books to beat challenges, even though I am kind of contradicting myself posting about a challenge now, lol! I've had a look through the list and I think I have an idea for most of the books, but some will require some homework, like finding a book by the author of the same initials as me.

Anyways, onto the list :D Let me know if you have any ideas for some of the challenges, like what trilogy should I read in the comments below! I can't wait to get started and start this year off right! :D
