I didn’t do the ABC Book Challenge yesterday, but here it is, a day late. Over the course of six months, I’m going through “My Books” in Goodreads and pointing out some of the highlights: either books I really want to read, or books I really liked. I originally found this challenge over at Me, Myself, and Books, but I think it was started by Thrifty Bibliophile. Today we’re on the letter O.
Obsidian is the first book in Jennifer L. Armentrout’s Lux series. I haven’t read the second book, Onyx, but I plan to. Onyx is another O book, of course, but I’m mostly listing only first books in series here, which is why it’s not listed.
I first heard of An Ocean of Minutes on somebody’s blog last year (sorry, I don’t remember whose) and it sounded interesting. I haven’t had the chance to read it yet. Although it’s had mixed reviews, I’d still like to read it.
Of Curses and Kisses comes out next February, and it’s going to be a trilogy! This one is a Beauty and the Beast retelling, but the others are also going to be retellings as well. Sandhya Menon’s books are awesome, and this book takes place at a boarding school for royals!
I loved On the Come Up. It’s a book about a teen trying to make it in the rap industry (which drew me in), but it also deals with racism, poverty, violence, and being your true self. I highly recommend it.
Once & Future is a futuristic King Arthur retelling. I found it on sale earlier this year, but I haven’t had the chance to read it yet. So many books, so little time! It does sound interesting, so I’ll keep it on my list of books I want to read and hopefully it won’t be too long before I can get to it.
Opposite of Always is another book I bought on sale and haven’t had the chance to read yet. It looks really good.
So those are some of the highlights from My Goodreads from the letter O. I was surprised that there were so many books this week.
