Duodecathon discussion

I am probably reading for the "Read a recommended book" challenge, too! I have The Lightning Thief (Percy Jackson #1) by Rick Riordan all ready to go! :-)

Will do. Fantasy stories are just about all of what I read (with some exceptions), so I'm really hoping to enjoy it. :-)

Finally getting to participate in this school kept me way too busy so I'll be trying to complete several challenges this round so I can catch up - Read 1200 pages, Read a 2nd book in a series (Blood of Wonderland by Coleen Oakes), an winning book (Scythe by Neal Shusterman), Read a book about a villian / antihero (Heartless by Marissa Meyer), Read a book recommended in the group (Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone) and a banned book (Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carol)

I will be doing the recommended one too! Ready Player One is the one I chose but couldn't even open its cover 'cause finals :'( And I know I won't be finishing it 'cause again, finals :'(

Good luck on your finals! study hard and take lots of breaks, stay hydrate etc etc. you can do this!

I am reading Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets for an award winning book. If the book is at my library in time I will also read Heartless by Marissa Meyer for the anti-hero/villain one. Have fun reading everyone!

Hi again all! I think instead of reading The Lighting Thief for the recommended task this week, I'm going to count Persepolis 2: The Story of a Return by Marjane Satrapi for the Read a Banned Book task. A School-System in Chicago challenged and banned - at least temporarily, if I understood what I read - the Persepolis memoirs. I read one article that said it was the complete story being challenged/banned, so this second volume about her return to Iran should count, right? :-)

If nothing else, this book is probably banned in Iran!



I read this book on May 24th. :-)

I finished Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets for the award winning book challenge! Soon starting the second book I wanted to read: Hearless by Marissa Meyer. I am very curious. Hope it is good!
