On top of my writing course, the two writing challenges I've taken up, and the various other things I'm working on, I've decided to restart a book challenge I gave up on last year due to family drama.
The challenge is inspired by Kristina Horner (wizard rock singer, YouTuber) who read 50 books in 2008. I'm taking up the same challenge. And while I already have a list of books compiled by my mom and friends, I'd like some more suggestions since I may also be starting a book review blog.
There really aren't any guidelines for suggestions. I'll need the book title and author, but a small summary would be nice as well. (no spoilers, please!) Genre, rating, and length don't matter to me. Actually, this challenge is sort of to help me break out of the normal stuff I read. I won't be reading any non-fiction though. And please keep in mind that I'll be skipping over sex scenes as best I can.
Here's my list so far.
