Kimberly’s comments from the PopSugar Reading Challenge 2021 group.

I just finished Pretty Little Wife by Darby Kane. I think I’m the end this book could fit this category. She does get a chance for a fresh start. 😜

The Library Book

This books was so great and informative and I know I have a few friends who would enjoy it very much.

Laundry Love: Finding Joy in a Common Chore. I would never have selected this without knowing the friend who read it before me. I was fun.

I actually finished the rest of Harry Potter this year so I guess they last 3 books count for this.

Just finished The Body is Not an Apology

I just finished Not a Happy Family. One of the main characters is an artist.

Just finished The Maidens by Alex Michaelides where one of the main characters was a professor which is my current job.

I just finished The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by V.E. Schwab. I feel this is a good hybrid between historical fiction and magical realism or paranormal.

I just finished a graphic novel adaptation of Octavia Butler’s Kindred.

I just finished Arsenic and Adobo by Mia Manansala to fulfill this line.

I have listened to Four Hundred Souls. It is a compilation of short essays.

I read The Other Woman by Sandie Jones. The song with the same title is sung by Ray Parker Jr.

I am a Capricorn and listened to David Sedaris “Me Talk Pretty Someday”. Very enjoyable.

I am reading Trail of Lightning by Rebecca Roanhorse to fulfill this option.

The Final Revival of Opal & Nev by Walton, Dawnie. I used this for A book with a gem, mineral, or rock in the title. It could also fit the category - A book about art or an artist.
This week was a busy week for me and I was only working on one book for the challenge and this was a doozy that I really did not enjoy. I was determined to finish it just to fulfill the box.

I love YA books - I will be counting them if they fit the category.

I listened to this book last December. I really enjoyed it.

I am reading The Final Revival of Opal and Nev to fulfill this option. Of course Opal is a person in the story but an opal is also a mineral/gemstone.

I have selected The Lady’s Guide to Petticoats and Piracy by Mackenzie Lee for this prompt. I very much enjoyed the first book in this series, The Gentleman’s Guide to Vice and Virtue which would also be a good match for this category.

I also chose What Alice Forgot like a few others.
