The 52 Book Club: 2025 Challenge discussion

Here's one that's going to vary for each of us -- but it's still always fun to see what others are picking! (I'm also very curious to see who are youngest and oldest readers are in the group!) What book are you picking?

This category was also recommended by someone in our previous challenge and is a nod to our "2020" theme for the year. :)

I’m 41 and I’m picking The Pact by Jodi Picoult

For my Picture Book challenge: The Pigeon Wants a Puppy! by Mo Willems. (3 Stars)
For my Novel challenge: The Host by Stephenie Meyer (4 Stars)

Published 2008

I'll Give You the Sun by Jandy Nelson
Completed: June 14, 2020

[Published 2014]

For this category I read "The Flight of Gemma Hardy" by Margot Livesey. Sadly, this was one of my least favourite books thus far. It begins with a very Dickensian feel (to a fault), and doesn't improve much from there. It's apparently a 'modernized verison' of Jane Eyre, so maybe it would have been more enjoyable if I was a Jane Eyre fan? I wouldn't recommend otherwise.

Missing Pieces by Heather Gudenkauf.

It was 1997 when I was 20, so I choose Memoirs of a Geisha by Arthur Golden. We'll see how it goes!
