Time for 2016 Reading Challenges!
I super failed this one in 2015. So I MUST win this year! Or else!
The A-Z Reading Challenge
I didn't finish this one last year either, so I'm going to really try this year. I would just like to point out how it is always very difficult for me to come up with books for all 26 letters. The hardest was "K" this year!
An Ember in the Ashes by Sabaa Tahir
Beautiful Broken Things by Sara Barnard
A Criminal Magic by Lee Kelly
The Forbidden Wish by Jessica Khoury
The Girl from Everywhere by Heidi Heilig
The Love That Split the World by Emily Henry
Riders by Veronica Rossi
The Star-Touched Queen by Roshani Chokshi
Thicker Than Water by Brigid Kemmerer
Unbreakable by Elizabeth Norris
This Savage Song (Monsters of Verity, #1) by Victoria Schwab
Walk on Earth a Stranger by Rae Carson
EXtraction by Stephanie Diaz
The Last Star by Rick Yancey
Labyrinth Lost by Zoraida Córdova
Diversity Reading Challenge
I was hoping to find some great diversity reading challenges for 2016. I haven't yet, but that doesn't mean they're not out there to be found (eventually).
So, for now, I'm just making my own diversity reading challenge. It's really simple: Read more diverse books and review/blog about those books.
So far, these are on my radar (sorry if there are repeats from my A-Z list):

ReplyDelete"This finite existence is only a test, son," God Almighty sed to me in my coma. "Beyond thy earthly tempest is where you'll find corpulent eloquence" (paraphrased). Lemme tella youse without d'New Joisey accent...
ReplyDeleteI actually saw Seventh-Heaven when we died: you couldn't GET any moe curly, extravagantly-surplus-lush Upstairs when my beautifull, brilliant, bombastic girl passed-away at 17.
Find-out where we went on our journey far, far away like the symbiotically, synonyMOUSEs which creep across thy brain bringing U.S. together done in sardonic satires.
"Those who are wise will shine as brightly as the expanse of the Heavens, and those who have instructed many in uprightousness as bright as stars for all eternity" -Daniel 12:3
Here's also what the prolific, exquisite GODy sed: 'the more you shall honor Me, the more I shall bless you' -the Infant Jesus of Prague.
Go git'm, girl. You're incredible.
See you Upstairs...
I won't be joining'm in the nasty Abyss where Isis prowls
