Ultimate Popsugar Reading Challenge discussion

Hello, again! I hope everyone's doing well. So what did everyone read this week? How far along is everyone in the challenge?

This week, I completed Scab (based on a true story), which brings me up to 30 books. Meanwhile, I'm waiting on a couple books from the library and struggling to choose what to read next. I tried Wuthering Heights (over 100 years old), but I can't stay focused with all the long-winded descriptions. Ugh. Hope you all are having better luck!

I have only eleven categories left but, unfortunately, most of the remaining categories are ones that I find the most difficult. I am currently reading The Tenant of Wildfell Hall for the classic romance category and I am enjoying it much more than I had expected to. It is slow reading as I haven't delved into that language since college. Next up, I still have to finish Lord of the Flies for my book that I should have read in high school.

I read Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead for my play. I had some trouble getting into it at first; the existential dialogue was a bit hard to follow from time to time. Once it got going though I really enjoyed it. Not sure what I'm going to read next; I think I've got 14 prompts to go.

35 of 50. I'm ahead for once in the challenge and I'm very pleased. I read two books last week and both filled prompts. I read the book with magic and book your mom loves. My mom and I discussed the book when I was finished which was nice because we don't read the same types of books so I'm glad that was one of the prompts.

Hopefully I can knock off two more challenges by Friday but to be honest this week is pretty busy so we'll see!

Thanks to Katherine for opening these discussion threads!

I've been on vacation but am home again though still on vacation (yay!)

I have been reading but nothing that fits my remaining prompts. (6 to go!) I've decided to read some books I've had on my TBR list and take a break from the challenge.

Hope everyone is enjoying the last days of summer!

Started "Pride and Prejudice" this week for my classic romance prompt. I figured this prompt was a no brainer seeing as how this title is probably on a lot of people's lists. It's kinda slow going and it may spill into part of next week. Just ordered some books off of Amazon that I had trouble finding at my local bookstore. Now the question remains, which prompt will I choose next. I may read "Pygmalion" next for my play prompt.

I didn't finish anything. I'm working on my 500+ page book.

Last week I finished "a banned book" - Madame Bovary. Very interesting, I would love to discuss this one!

I also working in my "book with more than 500 pages" (The pickwick papers) and in the "A book with a female author" (Outlander) - or maybe I will use "the pickwick papers" in the category "a book that your mom loves" - but in the father version, I read the book that my mom loves around a year ago, but I'm not reading it again so soon it is "story of a soul" by st therese of lisieux.

I started the challenge in august - checking categories that applied to books that I'm absolutely sure that I have read in the present year. I still have 29 categories to fulfill!
