2019 Reading Challenge

So I’m super late on this but I guess I’ll add that to one of my New Year’s Resolutions. Speaking of which, I’ve been thinking about my reading goals for 2019.

The Library Book – An Ode to Libraries

t was really nice to take a break during my YA class to read something not YA. And seeing how I’m going to library school, I decided to read The Library Book. This will also be my last 2018 book I read, even though it’s here in the new year.

In Cold Blood

I know this isn’t a recent book but I recently read No Saints in Kansas and wanted some more background information. And like I said in that post, I have something of a personal connection with the case.

Fourth Week of YA Class – Mysteries

I’ll admit I was feeling pretty cocky going into this because I so easily guessed pretty much everything in A Noise Downstairs. But this left me guessing as to who the suspect was and even then, the case isn’t solved and you’re left with more clues than answers. I read this as part of my YA class, where we got to pick a mystery book.

The Hate U Give

This was so good and again so different than what I usually read. It’s a great book and I look forward to seeing the movie. Everyone should read it before it comes out!
