12 Books I am Planning to Read in 2015


I found a reading challenge that looks like fun and I love these sorts of things so I am going to try it. The challenge is below and this is my list:

A book you've meaning to read: 'The Book Thief' by Markus Zusak

✔︎ A book published this year: 'All Fall Down' by Ally Carter

A book in a genre you don't typically read: 'Surprised by Joy' by C.S. Lewis
I don't usually read non-fiction, but this one is at the top of my reading list.

A book from your childhood: Ooh... hard choice. Probably 'The Horse and His Boy' by C.S. Lewis.
This was one of my favorites of the Narnia series and I've been dying to re-read it.

A book your mom loves: 'The Screwtape Letters' by C.S. Lewis

✔︎ A book that was originally written in a different language: 'The Elegance of the Hedgehog' by Muriel Barbery
This was originally published in French.

✔︎ A book ‘everyone’ has read but you: 'The Maze Runner' by James Dashner

A book you chose because of the cover: 'The End of Your Life Book Club' by Will Schwalbe.
Not so much the cover, but the title intrigued me. But then the title makes up most of the cover, so...

✔︎ A book by a favourite author: 'Fire and Hemlock' by Diana Wynne Jones

✔︎ A book recommended by someone with great taste: 'The Giver' by Lois Lowry.
Recommended to my several times by my best friend.

✔︎ A book you should have read in high school: Still technically in high school, but I'd have to say 'Emma' by Jane Austen.

✔︎ A book that’s currently on the bestseller list: 'Allegiant' by Veronica Roth
