The 52 Book Club: 2025 Challenge discussion

This one's going to be different for each of us but let's see how many different authors we read this year. Who did you pick for this prompt?

Haven't decided on a book, but I love the work of Margaret Peterson Haddix.

I'm going to read Packing for Mars by Mary Roach since I am fascinated by our plans to land on Mars in the future. Hope I'm still alive when it happens.

I am going to read something by Anna Quinlan. Happy to find an author with a Q. She has written several books do I have some choices.

Going to read American Royals by Katherine McGee

Just finished the new Elly Griffiths, the Lantern Men, number 12 in the Ruth Galloway series. This author never disappoints. My name starts with a G too.

Children of Blood and Bone

The Turn of the Key by Ruth Ware
Completed: January 29, 2020

For my Novel challenge: Withering Tights by Louise Rennison (3 Stars)
For my Picture Book challenge: Fred's Big Feelings: The Life and Legacy of Mister Rogers by Laura Renauld (5 Stars)

I know the prompt says to just match the last name, but I'm an overachiever and matched both initials.

That’s great! I would do that too, but with Q my last name initial I am not too sure how easy that would be to find a first initial with a C also. For a different challenge, I was supposed to read a book from the decade I was born and read East of Eden from the year I was born. Fun!

Not Really Dead by Leslie Wolfe.

White Raven by J.L Weil

I listened to “Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me?” By Mindy Kaling! It was really entertaining, especially given how much I love The Office.

The book I've choosed for this prompt was used for another challenge, very similar (I have to find an author with the same first or last name as mine): it's an original version of The Picture of Dorian Gray, called Dorian Grayren benetazko erretratua (The true portrait of Dorian Gray) by Aitor Arana Luzuriaga, in basque language. Imagine Oscar Wilde's characters with the 21st century way of thinking...
