Hello! Once again, it’s time for the ABC book challenge! This is where I go through the books on My Books on Goodreads and I pick out the books I really liked or really want to read. Today we’re on the letter W. I first found this over at Me, Myself, and Books, although I believe it was created by The Thrifty Bibliophile.
I loved Warcross, and it was my favorite book that I read in 2017. I read it on the last day of the year. I love the character of Emika, and I loved the whole hacking/gaming aspect of the book. My major was in computer science, so when I first heard about it I was excited about it.
Sandhya Menon was the speaker at the Colorado Teen Literature Conference this year, and since I was going to meet her, I figured I might as well read her books. So I read When Dimple Met Rishi, and I loved it.
When Money Dies is a nonfiction book that deals with the hyperinflation that occurred during the Weimar Republic. I’ve always thought it was fascinating how people dealt with the times when it took a wheelbarrowload full of money to buy a loaf of bread. Along similar lines, a really good book that gives a first-person account of how a teenager lived through this time was Defying Hitler by Sebastian Haffner (although that’s only a small part of that book).
Wicked Fox had me at the cover. Plus it’s a book set in modern-day Korea.
I read the Wrath & Righteousness series several years ago and really liked it. It’s one of those apocalyptic kinds of books. I’ll probably reread it again sometime, because when I first read it, I read each episode as they came out. There’s ten small books in the entire series.
So that’s the letter W! Can you believe I only have one book for the letter X next week? I might come up with one more between now and then, but I doubt it. Z is my most difficult letter, but I’m combining that week with letters that start with numbers or letters that are not normally in the US alphabet.
