Semi-Charmed Kind of Life Winter Book Challenge 2015

 

Dude.  Y'all.  I know.  I'm blowing up the posts today.  But, I had my "Ten Things That Made Me Happy" post all set, and then I got rolling & ranting about Lamar Odom, and then I saw that Megan announced her categories for the Semi-Charmed Winter 2015 Book Challenge, and, well, you know, I love me a book challenge and a chance to make a book list.  (I also love me a good run-on sentence.)

Here it is:

 

 5 points: Read a book that has between 100 and 200 pages.
Night by Elie Wiesel (115 pages)
10 points: Read a debut book by any author. (The book does not have to be a 2015 debut.)
Side Effects May Vary by Julie Murphy (336 pages)
10 points: Read a book that does not take place in your current country of residence.
The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah (France/438 pages)
10 points: Read a book that someone else has already used for the challenge. — Submitted by SCSBC15 finisher Kristen @ See You in a Porridge. Hey! I know her
updated:  Heart-Shaped Box by Joe Hill - from Kristen's list - this works perfectly for me, because Kristen chose a book from my list for this category AND Heart-Shaped Box is sitting on my bookshelf at home waiting to be read.
15 points: Read a book published under a pseudonym (e.g. Robert Galbraith, Sara Poole, J.D. Robb, Franklin W. Dixon, Mark Twain, etc.). — Submitted by SCSBC15 finisher Megan M.
The Silkworm by Robert Galbraith (J.K. Rowling/455 pages)
15 points: Read a book with “boy,” “girl,” “man” or “woman” in the title (or the plural of these words).
The Boy Kings of Texas by Domingo Martinez (456 pages)
15 points: Read a book with a one-word title (e.g. Attachments, Americanah, Uglies, Wild, etc.).
Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson (208 pages)
20 points: Read a book with a person's first and last name in the title (e.g. The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry, The Story of Edgar Sawtelle).
The Miseducation of Cameron Post by Emily M. Danforth (470 pages)
20 points: Read a food-themed book. — Submitted by SCSBC15 finisher Jamie @ Whatever I Think Of!
The Dinner by Herman Koch (292 pages)
20 points: Read a book with a verb in the title. (For any grammar nerds out there, I mean “verb” in the most general sense, so gerunds count. For non-grammar-inclined people, just use any book that appears to have a verb in the title!)
I'll Give You the Sun by Jandy Nelson (371 pages)
30 points: Read two books with the same title (by different authors). — Submitted by SCSBC15 finisher bevchen @ Confuzzledom.
Finders Keepers by Stephen King (448 pages) and Finders Keepers by Belinda Bauer (393 pages)
30 points: Read a nonfiction book and a fiction book about the same subject (e.g. a biography and historical fiction novel about the same person; two books about a specific war or event; a nonfiction book about autism and a novel with a character who has autism, etc. The possibilities are endless!).
Crank by Ellen Hopkins (fiction/538 pages) and Tweak by Nic Sheff (non-fiction/336 pages)

I'm pretty pleased with this list.  There's YA, historical fiction, and thrillers; books from my bookshelf & books I'll get from the library.  Have you read any of these?  Thoughts?
