Must Read in 2016 (casual book tag-style challenge)

 

Here are the rules:

 

 

I was pretty awful with reading in 2015. I had months where I would read nothing at all. I just couldn’t concentrate to read or I just didn’t care. So, here are the books that I MUST read in 2016, because I never got around to them in 2015 and I really wanted to.

 

Honorable mention (because I’ve already read the series, but this one is so pretty, so I MUST read it):

I can’t pick just one, so there’s going to be a lot!

“I always marvel at the humans’ ability to keep going. They always manage to stagger on even with tears streaming down their faces.” — Markus Zusak (The Book Thief)

“Sometimes, the wicked will tell us things just to confuse us–to haunt our thoughts long after we’ve faced them.” — Sarah J. Maas (Throne of Glass)

“Words are like seeds, I think, planted into our hearts at a tender age. They take root in us as we grow, settling deep into our souls. The good words plant well. They flourish and find homes in our hearts. They build trunks around our spines, steadying us when we’re feeling most flimsy; planting our feet firmly when we’re feeling most unsure. But the bad words grow poorly. Our trunks infest and spoil until we are hollow and housing the interests of others and not our own. We are forced to eat the fruit those words have borne, held hostage by the branches growing arms around our necks, suffocating us to death, one word at a time.” — Tahereh Mafi (Ignite Me)

• September: Got myself a library card so that I could read ebooks for free. Went to the local ice cream place for the last time of the season and then went on a walk around the fairgrounds. Visited Mrs. Richardson with Jerrica.
• October: Went to the Fair with my mum and Jerrica. Saw Jana Kramer live and met her at the Fair.

• November: One of my friends, Kristina, sent me a postcard from London while she was studying abroad. Made four yummy desserts for Thanksgiving. Won a dvd set of the first 10 episodes of the tv show “The Fosters”. Put up the Christmas tree with mummy.
• December: Went to the town Christmas tree lighting with my parents. Painted a Starry-night Tardis tote bag for a friend. Won a set of fragrance pencils from Mark. Girl.
