My senior undergraduate year's been pretty crazy, but now it's over! so hopefully I'll have more time to read (crossing fingers). Here's what I've read the past few months:
Montmorency by Eleanor Updale (a book that makes you nostalgic) - A story I read when I was a child about a thief who uses London's sewers to steal from the rich. Better than I remember!
The Merlin Conspiracy by Diana Wynne Jones (a book you think should be turned into a movie) - Though they should probably make the first book, Deep Magic, into a movie before this one.
Skyward by Brandon Sanderson (a book featuring an extinct or imaginary creature) - Not quite as good as his other ones, I thought, but still really interesting!
The Prince and the Dressmaker by Jen Wang (a book with an item of clothing or accessory on the cover) - Kinda silly, but cute!
Princess Sonora and the Long Sleep by Gail Carson Levine (a book inspired by mythology, legend or folklore) - Love this story. Love. It.
Oathbringer by Brandon Sanderson (a book told through multiple character POVs) - Again, not as good as the first two books in the Stormlight Archives, but still amazing.
The Anatomy of Peace by the Arbinger Institute (a book you meant to read in 2018) - What a fascinating story.
Re Jane by Patricia Park (a retelling of a classic) - Loosely based off of Jane Eyre, but nowhere as good. Has some good things to think about, especially if you enjoy reading different perspectives.
Romeo and/or Juliet by Ryan North (a choose-your-own-adventure book) - Pretty silly.
Also read, but not for the challenge:
The Rithmatist by Brandon Sanderson
Edgedancer by Brandon Sanderson
The Fairy's Mistake by Gail Carson Levine
The Princess Test by Gail Carson Levine
Here Lies the Librarian by Richard Peck
The Iron Giant by Ted Hughes
