This year I have decided to try and read 15 books. I have already started on my first book which is One Day in December by Josie Silver.

Good luck with your challenge, Jordan!

1. One Day in December by Josie Silver

Finished my first book of the year!!! I have this book 5/5 stars. I absolutely loved it! I’m obsessed with Hallmark Christmas movie and this book is like one. I recommend this book.

2. Young Avengers #1

I wanted to start reading comics that have Loki in them and started with Young Avengers. I have it 5 stars because it is Marvel and I tend to like anything Marvel. I now need to get the second one!

3. Borders and Boundaries: Women in India's Partition by Ritu Menon and Kamla Bhasin

This is the first book that we have read in my Gender and Nations class. It's a very interesting read. I never knew about the Partition in India and this book is about the women and their history since no one asked them about their experience.

Looks like you are doing great on you challenge! :)

4. Women Without Class by Julie Bettie

This is another book from my Gender and Nations class.

5. Crazy Rich Asians by Kevin Kwan

I had started reading this last year but then it was a required book for my gender and nations class so I decided to hold off on reading it until it was time to read it in that class. I enjoyed this book. I’m not going to give it a star rating because I kind of hate doing star ratings. I now need to get the second book!

6. Daisy Jones and The Six by Taylor Jenkins Reid

5/5

How is this not a real band! I loved this book. While reading this I could only imagine Daisy Jones looking like Juliet Simms (if you don’t know who Juliet Simms is look her up). The characters seem like real people. They are a band that I would listen to. I loved the writing style and how it was in interview format.

7. We Have Always Lived in the Castle by Shirley Jackson

3.5/5

I watched the movie before reading this and I feel like that is why I rated it lower. The book had these long descriptions that I ended up skimming over. The movie has a different ending for Charles Blackwood. Also the movie has Sebastian Stan playing Charles Blackwood.

Oh I didn’t know they’d made a film of this. I like this book and Sebastian Stan so I’ll have to check it out :-)

Doing great on your reading challenge! Think I might put this book on my TBR and give this a read in december...

8. Emergency Contact by Mary H. K. Choi

2/5 stars

I was really hoping that I would like this book. I like the concept. I usually don’t care if the characters are likable or not but Penny got on my nerves so much. I liked Sam and Jude. Penny didn’t grow as a person. She spent the entire book complaining about her mom. Some of the things Penny and Sam were saying wasn’t things a 18 and 21 year old would say. When they were in Sam’s room Penny made a comment about how she was disappointed he didn’t have a swastika on his ceiling (why was this needed?!). I ended up skimming through he last 40-50 pages because I just wanted to finish it.

That is too bad.. Hopefully your next books will be better!

9. Privilege, Power, and Difference by Allan G. Johnson

I finally finished another book. I've been busy because college started again so I haven't had much time to read. I'm not going to rate this book since it was for a class.

Hi Jordan, how is your challenge going?

10. Justice: What’s the right thing to do?

The fall semester is over and I’m now on winter break. This was another book for a class so I’m not going to rated it. Hopefully during my break I can get more reading done.

11. A Dash of Love by Liz Isaacson

3.5/5 stars
It’s based off of a Hallmark movie. It’s nothing spectacular but it is a cute short read. It’s about 2 chefs who fall in love. It even includes a recipe that is mentioned in the book.

12. A Sloth's Guide to Taking it Easy by Sarah Jackson

I got this as a Christmas gift because my family knows how much I love sloths. It's a cute little book with advice about taking it easy when you are starting to get stressed out.
