Zoë Neo | 214 comments I've never participated in a challenge on here (bar the yearly personal challenge) so I think I might give this one a try :) Please could you put me down for 3? I'm not the quickest reader but I have already started a couple books which may fit with this challenge.

4/3

✔ 1. Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups - creamy chocolate and salty peanut butter makes the perfect combination. Read a book where two very different characters work together to make the perfect plot. Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell (seemed that the main character being different to the other main characters was a main theme in the book)

✔ 5. Kit Kat - a chocolate covered wafer biscuit bar that is know for giving you a break. Read a book that is a quick and snappy read that is great for to read when you have a few minutes break in your day.
House of Kings by Keary Taylor.
All of the books in the series by Keary Taylor have been good snappy reads that I have read in my breaks at work. Was going to use it as number 2 as the main character goes a bit "nutty" but it did not work out well...

✔ 6. Twix - butter cookie, caramel, and coated with chocolate that also comes in many different versions and is popular all around the world. Read a book that is so popular it has been translated into many different languages.
The Perks of Being a Wallflower - by Stephen Chbosky

✔ 8. Hershey’s Cookies and Cream - the name of the candy bar says it all and while the candy bar is less than 25 years old, it’s already a top 10 hit! Read a book was written in the last few years and is on the New York Times Best Sellers List.
Station Eleven - by Emily St. John Mandel

Well I read 3 books a lot quicker than I anticipated so I decided to read a 4th! Felt bad as 2 of the my first 3 I had already read a little bit of at the end of September so thought I should do an extra to make up for it :P

Rachel A. (abyssallibrarian) | 162 comments 1. Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups - Read a book where two very different characters work together to make the perfect plot. - Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet. You could make a case either for Henry and Keiko, or Henry and his father as the two very different characters.

5. Kit Kat - Read a book that is a quick and snappy read that is great for to read when you have a few minutes break in your day. - The Halloween Tree. This book is only about 150 pages, so it's a nice quick read.
