Hey all,
So if you haven't heard already, there is a really cool reading event that is about to take place! It's called The Reading Quest, and it's a reading challenge based on RPG style video games. Since I am a human who has played far too many of those, it would be a shame if I didn't take part!
This challenge is being hosted by Read at Midnight (

Here is the quest board:
I am going to be following along the Rogue path to start!
For a Banned Book, I am going to read Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov, which is a book I've been meaning to read for a long time. It covers a fairly taboo subject, which is why it has been banned in so many places, but I've heard such great things about it that I want to give it a chance.
For a cover with a partially obscured face, I intend to read Truthwitch by Susan Dennard. Again, this is a bookt hat I've just been hearing nothing but amazing things about, and it's one of the few books that I currently have with me. I've been meaning to read it since it came out because I have a feeling that I'm really going to enjoy it!
For a book with less than 500 reviews on goodreads, I intend to read Traitor's Masque by Kenley Davidson. This is a self published novel with around 400 reviews, currently, on goodreads. It is supposed to be a retelling of the Cinderella story with some fantastical twists, so I'm really looking forward to diving into it.
For a book published by a small press I want to read Flame by E. Latimer, which is the second book in her Frost Chronicles series which is being published by Patchwork Press. I read the first book last year and really enjoyed it, so I'm looking forward to diving into this one.
And finally, for a book with a one word title, I want to read Rooms by Lauren Oliver. I have loved both of the books that I've read by this author in the past, and this book is also fairly short, which is nice! I'm hoping that I'll love it just as much as her other books and that I'll fly through it!
So those are all of the books I'm currently planning on reading! Are any of you guys taking part? You should let me know! I would love to keep up with your progress. I'm going to be posting at least once a week on here with my updates, mostly because I think it will help me keep track of everything!
Good luck, and happy reading,
Helen.
