Other books
Part of my personal challenges:
Good Read choice Awards 2019
For this one I picked Exhalation by Ted Chiang a short story collection, it was one of the runners up for the Sci-Fi category.
For the Agatha Christie challenge we have two books for this month:
The man in the brown suit published in august 1924- a mystery story of a few deaths, a missing jewel, and the person who is trying to solve the mystery is Anne Beddingfeld.
The other one is the secret of chimneys published in June 1925- Anthony accepts a messenger job to deliver a manuscript to a publisher and he is mixed in something he was not prepared to dive into.
For the Stephen King reading challenge
As mentioned before we're getting to the books published in 1979:
*The dead zone about Johnny and his end of humans premonition.
*The long Walk a story about a horrible race 16-year-olds participate on, once its started no one can stop, if you do you have 3 warnings, on the third you are shot dead. Only one person will survive, the last one standing wins.
As part of my 2020 goals, I set a list of series I want to finish with that in mind I'll include some of them in this month's TBR
*The lost world by Michael Crichton the second book in the Jurassic Park series. I don't think anyone needs an intro to this word, be it for the book that has been around for a while or more likely for the movie franchise.
*The marvelous land of Oz by Frank Baum another classic movie that I want to get into and finally read the books that inspired them. We follow Dorothy or her friends, no idea really.
If possible I also want to get to Ozma of Oz as I have the full collections and each volume comes with 3 of the short novellas in each. Not sure if I will have enough time but I want to at least get through one of them.
*Saga Vol 4 by Brian K. Vaghan and Fiona Staples, another series I started and want to catch up in it.
It is a very popular graphic novel about a couple from enemy planets/races who fall in love and procreate now they need to run away as every side wants to capture and probably eliminate them, as their love is the antithesis of the everlasting war.
Post-Apocalyptic books challenge
*Wool by Hugh Howey as mentioned before humans now live underground in Cilos and we have a mystery of sorts about the outside and a window.
Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mendel
After an epidemic that wiped most of the population and destroyed society as we know it, a decade later we're following people who are living and honoring their culture or ignoring it. The main characters are part of a traveling troupe who make a living doing Shakespeare plays.
Walking dead Volume 9 Here we remain and volume 10 what we become by Robert Kirkman. A zombie apocalypse has taken place, this follows Rick and other survivors of this plague. They have lived through and learned to cope with Zombies, but other humans are the issue. Rick faced another group of survivors, the people from Woodbury, and after a face-off where both sides surely had losses the few lucky ones need to learn to continue fighting.
There was a cliff hanger in the past volume so I hope the intensity is not lost in the next.
Moving on, the other goal I want to include here is the rereads. As I have mentioned before, one of my favorite things in the world is rereading books. I have a list of 24 books I wanted to reread this year, in the last couple of months I have included a few more but oh well, doing more rereads is never a bad thing.
Magnus Chase and the gods of Asgard #3 The ship of the dead by Rick Riordan. This is the third book in the trilogy where Loki is getting ready to start Ragnarok and bring forth the end of the world and Magnus and his friends are trying to stop it.
The second reread of the month is:
Letters to the lost by Brigid Kemerer. This follows Juliet as she tries to cope with the loss of her mother, as part of her grieving she writes letters to her mother and places them in her graveyard. But someone reads them and start to reply back to her. She is insulted by this but then she starts to grow close to the mysterious writer. I want to see how I feel about it this time around. I really enjoyed it the first time around but then again I had read very little and this was one of the first books I read when I was trying to get into reading. I hope to love it!
