Autumn Reading Challenge Update 2

When I decided to give the prompt "read a book under 150 pages", I immediately went to the children's book room to pick something out.  While I had seen all the movies, I had never read a book by Roald Dahl and I just thought this is the perfect opportunity!  I chose "James and the Giant Peach" for this challenge.  This was a really easy read and I love how he brings out the personality of each character through his writing.  I'm definitely going to read some more Dahl books as they come into the store!

​

Over the last week, I also finished J.R. Ward's "Lover Eternal" for the "read a book with monsters" theme.  This book is the second in the Black Dagger Brotherhood series, which thanks to a couple of regular customers in the shop I have now become totally addicted!  If you are a fan of the vampire/paranormal romance genre and have never read J.R. Ward, I do suggest you give them a try.  However, I would start with book one ("Dark Lover").  The books can be read out of order but the characters do cross over in important ways, so starting at the beginning will get you an introduction to most of the Brotherhood and you will be less likely to be lost in later books.
​

If you have joined me in reading through the challenge themes for the Autumn Reading Challenge, I would love to know what books you have been completing!  Almost halfway through and I have completed half of the challenge ... but I'm slightly worries about the other 3 themes!  Hopefully they will come together soon!!

Happy Reading!
