Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ

I decided to do a challenge with a friend of mine, and I will post the updates here.
Rules:
-A book may be used for several items on the list.
-The book has to be finished in 2015.
-I have decided not to use America/England for the different country. Many of the books I read are set there, and it becomes tiresome to list
-I have decided not to use English for the different language. Many of the books I read are English, and it becomes tiresome to list
-If bold, the book is finished. If not, it is listed there as an idea for the future

20/01/2015
I finished The Rosie Project by Graeme Simsion. This fits within the following items:
* A funny book
* A book set in a different country (mainly Australia, a bit USA)
* A book a friend recommended (I borrowed it from Ariane)
* A book by an author you've never read before

26/01/2015
I finished The Elite by Kiera Cass. This fits within the following items:
(If striked through, this means I've already used this category for another book)
*A book by a female author
*A book with a one-word title
*A book a friend recommended (Rianne)
*A book with a love triangle
*A book set in the future
*A book you started but never finished (started: 03/11/2014)

If I ever read The One by Kiera Cass (I plan to do so, I have hopes that one will be better than this one), I am able to use it for 'a trilogy', because then I have actually read the whole trilogy.

That's amazing progress, Luella!

*A book with nonhuman characters
*A mystery or thriller (well, I think it could be classified as such. No idea if this is official)
*A book set in a different country
*A book from an author you love that you haven't read yet (I love 1Q84 and liked South of the Border, West of the Sun )
*A book set in the future

09/02/2015
I finished Feuchtgebiete by Charlotte Roche. This fits within the following items:
(If striked through, this means I've already used this category for another book)

*A book written by someone under 30 (she celebrated her 30th birthday in the year it came out, so she was under 30 when she wrote it)

07/03/2015
I finished Just Past Midnight by Amanda Stevens.
I read this because I forgot my e-reader and could buy it as a bookazine for �2,99.
Sadly, it does not fit in any of the categories I haven't used yet, and I am too lazy to find out in which it does fit that are alreadt striked through.

07/03/2015
I finished Clockwork Angel by Cassandra Clare. Again, it does not fit in any unused categories, but I wanted to read it because I read the Mortal Instrument series as well. Furthermore it is just some light reading while finishing my thesis (soon! hopefully...)

Good luck on your thesis, Luella! And meanwhile happy reading!

22/03/2015
I finished Clockwork Prince by Cassandra Clare. Just like Clockwork Angel, it does not fit in any unused categories.

02/04/2015
I finished Clockwork Princess by Cassandra Clare. Just like the two previous books, it does not fit in any unused categories.

What is your next book going to be? From an unused categorie perhaps? I really like 'A book set somewhere you've always wanted to visit'. I 'm going to remember this for my challenge!

06/05/2015
I finished Fallen by Lauren Kate, is:
A book set in high school

11/06/2015
I finished Die unendliche Geschichte by Michael Ende. This is:

*A book with more than 500 pages (mine was just short under this number, but I've seen editions with 500+ pages)
*A book that became a movie (never seen it, but nevertheless...)
*A book set somewhere you've always wanted to visit (visiting your own phantasy seems pretty perfect, doesn't it?)

How did you like the book? I only recently discovered it was a book, I loved the film as a child (my dog was even called after the dragon in the story :-)).

I have mixed feelings. The first half was absolutely amazing, but from the moment Bastian entered the land itself, it went downhill, and became boring. I suppose it is just not that interesting if someone has unlimited powers and cannot be hurt. Everything he did seemed 'random'. I have heard that the film covers about the first half of the book, and if it does, I support that choice and definitely would like to see it :)

27/06/2015
I finished The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams.
This is:
*A popular author's first book
*A book based on or turned into a TV show (never seen it)

11/07/2015
I finished Lycidas by Christoph Marzi
I seem to be really bad at this challenge-stuff, because it does not fit in any unused categories. However, reading it was great fun, and, actually, really motivating to read more :)

09/09/2015
I finished Maalstroom by Frode Granhus. It was nice, but - again - useless for the challenge...
