Three Months, Ten Books discussion

(ok, I am not sure how we are doing this, since I have never posted on a group before, but thought I would try!)

Just finished my first book of our challenge, The Sentimentalists by Johanna Skibsrud. I have now crossed off number 1 (prize winner - it was a Giller winner) and number 4 (debut novel).

I honestly did not enjoy it much at all. It was a bit all over the place, the story never got very interesting and I felt like I was wiating for something to happen. It was well written, but bored me...

1) Read a book which is a prize winner of some kind.
The Sentimentalists - Johanna Skibsrud

2) Read a book that is a new release published in March, April or May of this year..

3) Read a book that is a part of a series.

4) Read an author's debut novel.
The Sentimentalists - Johanna Skibsrud

5) Read a book set in a foreign country.

6) Read a book which is a book-in-verse, a graphic novel or epistolary (written in a form of a diary, letters, notes, etc.).

7) Read a book written from a male POV.

8) Read 3 books that belong to 3 different genres of your choosing. You can pick from: science fiction, fantasy, paranormal, dystopia, mystery, urban fantasy, chick lit or horror.

I have read a dystopian book now too, Bumped by Megan McCafferty.... it was, meh. Loved the concept, but the writing was not fabulous. Geared towards teens and was noticable that it was...
