Summer Reading Challenge Results! (original)

So, what seems like a crazily long time ago, I started looking for a summer reading challenge. I’d seen some that looked really fun, but all the ones I found had already started or had too many categories (I’m painfully aware I basically started it in August). So I thought: why not do one myself?

Some brilliant accounts also did the challenge, and I’ll link how they did at the bottom. Make sure to check them out 🙂


Surprisingly, I managed to do eight out of nine categories. My plan had been to borrow ‘Dune’ by Frank Herbert from my Dad (there’s a reason it was in the classics category), and then the library, but there’s been a delay because, you know, pandemic. It’s officially October now, and I can’t really pretend it’s still summer as I sit typing in two hoodies. Sadly. So, here’s how I got on!

My Reviews

Some of these I loved (I think Harrow the Ninth is one of my all time favourites). Others… not so much.

The Tattooist of Auschwitz by Heather Morris

Clap When You (Don’t) Land by Elizabeth Acedevo

Leah On the Offbeat by Becky Albertalli

Clary Fray is Not My Bae: City of Bones by Cassandra Clare

Notes From A Paper Plane Nomad

Published by Hundreds&Thousands

I’m a teenager (and a Hufflepuff) from Manchester. I like oversized jumpers, music that isn't on the radio anymore and books. Pretty much any book I can get my hands on but my favourites are Young Adult, fantasy and science fiction. One day, I decided to share some of my opinions on some great - and not so great - books to people around the world. And here it is! I really enjoy it and I hope you do too. The aim is hundreds and thousands of book reviews (see what I did there?) but I’m not quite up to that. Yet.
