Reading Challenge for 2022
- Thread starter sweetpumkinpye
- Start date
25., 26., 27. - Falling Skies by Harley Tate - another post apocalyptic dystopian tale from one of my favorite authors. The family first confronts a meteor, then a tyrannical military compound and then a cult of religious fanatics. What is coming in book 4??????

Lots of good titles here if you like the World War I/World War II genre. The only fail so far was #17 The Point of Light, terrible writing, I just couldn't wait for it to end.
I'm currently on a re-read from 2020 that I picked up at the library not realizing that I'd read it before. My reading time is limited to my lunch hour and on the bus ride home so I need to pick some thinner books if I'm going to meet my goal! Some of this year's selections so far have been pretty thick books.
