So I completed my challenge, even if I did not complete a review for each book on this blog. Oops. Here is a list of the books I've have read since I last updated.
Hamlet by William Shakespeare
Week 3-7 of Sevens by Scott Wallens
Reunion Karen Kingsbury
A Funny Thing HAppened on the Way to the Future Michael J. Fox
Invisible World Suzanne Weyn (A strange book, don't really recommend it)
Winnie-the-Pooh by A.A. Milne (the original set of stories)
Conspiracy 365: Malice by Gabrielle Lord (I read this one to see if it was appropriate for the school library and then learn it is the fourteenth in a series … I was a little lost, otherwise good book)
The Book Thief Marcus Zusak
A Christmas Carol Charles Dickens
With these last twelve books I have completed my challenge. I won't do it again this year, at least not deliberately. I'll have to think of a different reading challenge to complete.
Out of all the books I read this year my two favourite were:
The Book Thief by Marcus Zusak
I found this book extremely well written. I absolutely loved Zusak's use of language and narrative to tell the story. It had a good plot and well written characters. Overall this is my favourite book of the year, even though I read it at the end.
The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern
I read this book in the summer and thought it would be my favourite for a long time. I even bought it for my brother's girlfriend for Christmas with a note that it was my favourite. Guess I spoke to soon on that. This book is very well written with a captivating story. If you want a quick read this is definitely not it, this is a book that needs to be enjoyed slowly, piece by piece, page by page.
Voila, my year of constant reading. Let's try for a more manageable goal this year. :)
