First book was the Exorcist. Loved it highly recommend. My next one is The Beach by Alex Garland

The beach was great next up aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe

I've had The Beach in my tbr for years! I swear I'll get around to it one day!

I enjoyed it if you have itchy feet it'll definitely give you the travelling bug lol Lori wrote: "I've had The Beach in my tbr for years! I swear I'll get around to it one day!"

After Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe came The Alchemist

After the Alchemist my one and done Lady Susan by Jane Austin

Next up my diversify your self the fifth season by N K jemisin

How do you like that? I have heard that the Fifth Season is just a phenomenal book.

To be honest I wasn't a fan. Lots of unexplained lore that matter to the story and you just have to infer. Lots of 'looking at his face I now understand what he is' no further info is then given and you just need to guess. Not sure if the next book is out yet but I imagine that you need to read it to finish the story

Next up my what big teeth you have Stung by bethany wiggins

Next high noon: blood meridian by cormac mccarthy

Hated blood meridian onto my next challenge gladly, next up beach read Cured by Bethany Wiggins

Beach read finished next into the great wide open with "off the Grid" by c j box

Off the Grid was great next poetry with "The Princess Saves herself in this one"

The definition of poetry must be to hit return after every word next up short stories with "magic for Beginners"

Magic for Beginners was perhaps the worst book I have ever read next sports a holic "murder on the links

Murder on the links was fab next up colors of summer with manhatten beach

I hope you like Manhattan Beach. I really liked it.

Took me a while but Manhatten Beach was great.... Is summer over or can I keep reading I'm loving this. Next up my childhood reboot... Not sure what its gonna be tho

I think you should keep reading. For me, summer won't be over until I finish the challenge.

Started Romeo and /or Julie fun book and still have choices to make but since it's hard to know when a choose your own adventure book is finished I'll Move on to read the world and sunset song by Lewis grassic gibbon

Sunset song was a tough but enjoyable book, next out on the ocean with jacqou coustou

The silent world was fascinating and my first non fiction of the year, next up the love story Outlander

Outlander was great although the ending was quite abrupt. Next up hook em salmon fishing in the Yemen

Really enjoyed salmon fishing in the Yemen next up get your grill on

OK help is required to find a book for get your grill on any ideas gratefully Recieved. In the interval moving on to" TBRing " it with We have always lived in the castle. By Shirley Jackson

We have always lived in the castle was... Bizarre next up arsene lupin my unshelve it read

Arsene lupin was short but fun I look forward to reading more, next my get your grill on the stranger in the woods.

Stranger in the woods was a brilliant insight into a simpler way of living. Now my final challenge my audio book Letters to a young poet by Rainer Rilke
