You may or may not know, but this year I am hosting a 2017 reading challenge! Every week for the whole year there are different themes and the idea is to read a book that fits the theme within that week! It will help you keep on track for your Goodreads Challenge as you will be at least thinking about a book for a whole week even if you don't quite get to it.
But don't worry, if you don't finish a book or skip a week or start late, that's okay! This is just to make you think more about the types of books you are reading and to broaden your horizons.
If you didn't see the original post with all the challenges, click HERE.
If you are participating (or want to without checking, that's cool too), you can keep track of your reads with my Handy Dandy Charts.
This week's theme is...
BOOK ABOUT A ROAD TRIP
I have included some books that I want to read but haven't yet read. Here is a list on Goodreads for where to find these books because there are SO many to choose from!
I'll be reading...
IN HONOR
Author: Jessi Kirby
Series: N/A
Source: Purchased from Kobo
Publisher: Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers
Publication Date: May 8, 2012
Summary:
Honor receives her brother’s last letter from Iraq three days after learning that he died, and opens it the day his fellow Marines lay the flag over his casket. Its contents are a complete shock: concert tickets to see Kyra Kelly, her favorite pop star and Finn’s celebrity crush. In his letter, he jokingly charged Honor with the task of telling Kyra Kelly that he was in love with her.
Grief-stricken and determined to grant Finn’s last request, she rushes to leave immediately. But she only gets as far as the driveway before running into Rusty, Finn’s best friend since third grade and his polar opposite. She hasn’t seen him in ages, thanks to a falling out between the two guys, but Rusty is much the same as Honor remembers him: arrogant, stubborn . . . and ruggedly good-looking. Neither one is what the other would ever look for in a road trip partner, but the two of them set off together, on a voyage that makes sense only because it doesn’t. Along the way, they find small and sometimes surprising ways to ease their shared loss and honor Finn--but when shocking truths are revealed at the end of the road, will either of them be able to cope with the consequences?

I'm so thankful you do these every week because I'd be lost without them haha
ReplyDeleteOooh, a reading challenge. I love reading challenges. Road trip books are fun. I adored Amy & Roger and really liked the Blue Envelope books too. I hadn't heard of this one, but it sounds great; sad, but still great.
