So it’s been exactly six months since I’ve announced my 2015 Reading Challenge, so today, I decided to post an update on how it’s going. In addition, my parents are no longer participating in this challenge 😦 but I would still like recommendations for books in the categories that I have not read yet.
As of now, I have finished 12/30 books in my 2015 Reading Challenge. However, school’s out now so hopefully I will be able to write more reviews!

A book involving a fly – Lord of the Flies
You probably have read A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens
Thank you so much for these recommendations! I will definitely look into reading those books. I actually have not read a Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens but I’ve seen many film versions of it. Thank you again for these wonderful recommendations!
A Christmas Carol is quite short, you can read it in a couple of hours!
Okay, thank you!!

A book with a cool person – I’d definitely have to say the Bartimaeus trilogy by Jonathan Stroud. It’s a personal favourite of mine
Written by someone over 50 – The Ocean at the End of the Lane by Neil Gaiman

This is of course assuming that you haven’t already read these, which you might well have 🙂
