Look out for these icons which will tell you the main themes ofthe books in this challenge: Murder, Death, Violence Romance, Love, Relationships Science Fiction, Future, Space Mystery, Detective, Spy High Society Action, Adventure, Suspense Historical Biographical, Fictional Diary Entries War, Conflict Fantasy, Magic Crime, Gangs Horror, Supernatural Dystopic, Apocalyptic Classic, Modern Classic Gender, Sexuality, Identity Humour, Comedy Racial Issues Growing Up, Friendships, Adolescence Things Fall Apart/Chinua Achebe This heart-wrenching novel follows the struggle of Okonkwo, a leader of his village and local wrestling champion, as his world is invaded by British colonialism and his life falls apart. The novel is based in the fictional village of Umuofia, and has real echoes of the legacy of the Britain’s colonial occupation of Africa and how it changed not only the world, but the individuals and cultures caught in its wake. Children of Blood and Bone/Tomi Adeyemi Zélie remembers when the soil of Orïsha hummed with magic. When different clans ruled – Burners igniting flames, Tiders beckoning waves, and Zélie’s Reaper mother summoning forth souls. But everything changed the night magic disappeared. Under the orders of a ruthless king, anyone with powers was targeted and killed. Now only a few people remain with the power to use magic, and they must remain hidden. Zélie is one such person. Now she has a chance to bring back magic to her people and strike against the monarchy. With the help of a rogue princess, Zélie must learn to harness her powers and outrun the crown prince, who is hell-bent on eradicating magic for good. Simon VS. The Homo Sapiens Agenda/ Becky Albertalli Straight people should have to come out too. And the more awkward it is, the better... Simon Spier is sixteen and trying to work out who he is-and what he's looking for, but when one of his emails to the very distracting Blue falls into the wrong hands, things get all kinds of complicated. Because for Simon, falling for Blue is a big deal…It's a holy freaking huge awesome deal. Emma/Jane Austen Beautiful, clever, rich-and single-Emma Woodhouse is perfectly content with her life and sees no need for either love or marriage. Nothing, however, delights her more than interfering in the romantic lives of others. But when she ignores the warnings of her good friend Mr. Knightley and attempts to arrange a suitable match for her protégée Harriet Smith, her carefully laid plans soon unravel and have consequences that she never expected. With its imperfect but charming heroine and its witty and subtle exploration of relationships, Emma is often seen as Jane Austen's most flawless work. In Paris With You/Clementine Beauvais Because their story didn't end at the right time, in the right place, because they let their feelings go to waste, it was written, I think, that Eugene and Tatiana would find each other ten years later, one morning in winter, under terra firma on the Meteor, Line 14 (magenta) of the Paris metro. Eugene and Tatiana could have fallen in love. If things had gone differently. But time has found them far apart, leading separate lives. Until they meet once mo
