Dairy Queen by Catherine Gilbert Murdock (a book about or involving a sport)
A great book about the importance of communication. How do we communicate with each other? Do we?
Frankenstein by Mary Shelley (a book mentioned in another book)
Still a beautiful book, even after several years away. Haunting.
Salt to the Sea by Ruta Sepetys (a book set at sea)
A story of four young-ens struggling to survive in eastern Europe near the end of WWII. Racing towards a terrible, inevitable conclusion.
Also read, but not for the challenge:
Much Ado About Nothing by William Shakespeare
The Northern Lights by Lucy Jago
All Quiet on the Western Front by Erich Maria Remarque
A Midsummer Night's Dream by William Shakespeare (a book with one of the four seasons in the title)
Shakespeare has never been one of my favorites, but I had a lot of fun reading this play out loud to myself. It's funny, wild, and the way it's written is grand!
Also read, but not for the challenge:
Cinder by Marissa Meyer
An engaging fairy tale remix with cyborgs, plagues, and "princesses"! I thought this book was really fun, and I can't wait to read the next ones.
The Knife of Never Letting Go by Patrick Ness
This book sounds insane when you're trying to describe it to someone. It really wasn't my piece of cake (a little nonsensical at times), but an interesting plot that never stops moving.
Midnight for Charlie Bone by Jenny Nimmo
A childish book with a bit of a silly plotline. Probably not bad if you're, like, 8, but boring for a 22-year-old.
