2nd Quarter 2021 Yearly Challenge Updates

 

I finally remembered to add up my challenges for the first half of 2021.  I’ve been horrible with updating everything, but I think I’m doing pretty well so far.  

These are the totals for 1st and 2nd quarter combined. 

Update on 2nd Quarter 2021 5 Star Predictions

 

It’s time to see how I did on my predictions for my second quarter reads.  The original post can be found HERE.  I’m not going to add all the book descriptions, just how I ended up rating them.

 

The Ones We’re Meant To Find:  I ended up giving this one 4 stars.

3rd Quarter 2021 5 Star Predictions

 

I am hoping to get to all ten of these books between July, August, and September.  They are in no particular order, but I think they will all be 5 star books for me.  I’ll update in October to see if I was right.

Some of these may be sequels, so please know there could be spoilers in the synopsis. 

 

How We Fall Apart by Katie Zhao

In a YA thriller that is Crazy Rich Asians meets One of Us is Lying, students at an elite prep school are forced to confront their secrets when their ex-best friend turns up dead.

Nancy Luo is shocked when her former best friend, Jamie Ruan, top ranked junior at Sinclair Prep, goes missing, and then is found dead. Nancy is even more shocked when word starts to spread that she and her friends–Krystal, Akil, and Alexander–are the prime suspects, thanks to “The Proctor,” someone anonymously incriminating them via the school’s social media app.

They all used to be Jamie’s closest friends, and she knew each of their deepest, darkest secrets. Now, somehow The Proctor knows them, too. The four must uncover the true killer before The Proctor exposes more than they can bear and costs them more than they can afford, like Nancy’s full scholarship. Soon, Nancy suspects that her friends may be keeping secrets from her, too.
