1. What was the last book you read?
Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell - ★★★★★
Such an amazing book, I read it in one day, my review will be posted (hopefully) soon.
2. What book are you currently reading?
The 5th Wave by Rick Yancey
I'm a bit less than halfway through this book. I haven't been loving it as much as I thought I would, there are some parts which are fantastic, and some parts which are a bit slow. Once I finish it, there will be a review (again, hopefully. Still seeing how this blog is actually going...)
The Book Thief by Markus Zusak - ★★★★★
I started rereading this book just before the movie was released in Australia in early January. However, I only got about 100 pages in before getting distracted by other books, so we'll see if I return to it soon. Otherwise, I'll move it back to my read shelf.
3. What was the last book you marked as to-read?
The Invisible Circus by Jennifer Egan
4. What book do you plan to read next?
We'll see, really. But on the top of my list are:
Wonder by R.J. Palacio
How to Convince a Boy to Kiss You by Tara Eglington
Wildlife by Fiona Wood
5. Do you use a star rating system?
Yes I do:
★☆☆☆☆ - Books I didn't enjoy at all, either didn't finish or had to push myself an insane amount to finish, not worth the effort.
★★☆☆☆ - Books I didn't see the appeal of and thought were not engaging and boring, was still able to enjoy it a little.
★★★☆☆ - Okay books, didn't love them.
★★★★★ - One of the best books I have ever read, amazing, I would reread this again in a heartbeat, would recommend to all my friends.
6. Are you doing a 2014 Reading Challenge?
Yes! I have challenged myself to read 60 books this year. Last year I read 53/50 books for the challenge, so I just increased the number by a small amount, I think it's achievable, I hope I get to the goal.
