For this reading challenge prompt, I chose Looking for Alaska by John Green, a book that has appeared on challenged and banned book lists over the years. The story follows Miles “Pudge” Halter, a teenager who leaves home to attend boarding school in search of what he calls a “Great Perhaps.” There, he forms close…

This prompt turned out to be a little more interesting than I expected! For my fairytale-inspired book, I actually ended up reading two books that I loved equally: Where Butterflies Wander and The Snow Child by Eowyn Ivey. The funny part is that I had originally selected Where Butterflies Wander for this prompt and then…

For this prompt, I chose Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë, a classic that I first read in school many years ago. Set on the windswept moors of England, Wuthering Heights tells the story of Heathcliff and Catherine, two deeply connected souls whose love, pride, and choices create lasting consequences for themselves and those around them.…

For this reading challenge prompt, I stepped well outside my usual reading comfort zone and picked up The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet by Becky Chambers.

Oh man! It has been a while since my last reading challenge update. The good news? I never stopped reading. The bad news? I fell a little behind on writing about what I was reading! The last time I checked in, I had completed 15 of the 20 books in my challenge. At that point,…

I can hardly believe it, but I’m nearing the end of my reading challenge! So far, I’ve completed 15 out of 20 books, and I’m currently in the middle of finishing two more. That will leave me with just three prompts left—and I have a feeling they might be the most challenging ones yet. The…

For this prompt, I revisited Wrapped in Rain by Charles Martin—a book I had started before but never quite made it through. This time around, I was determined to give it another try. Wrapped in Rain is a deeply emotional story that weaves together themes of love, loss, and healing, following a man who must…
