Ultimate Popsugar Reading Challenge discussion

Hello, again! On Friday we completed week 37. So how's everyone doing? In a rut? Hit a hot reading streak? Have one mean book hangover? Let us know in the comments!

This week I completed The Cemetery Boys (mystery or thriller) and started Clockwork Princess to finish up my trilogy. Still a couple books behind, because I mostly keep choosing long books. I also just started a 1250+ page book for a book club I recently joined... I have mixed feelings about this.

Happy reading to you all!

I finished book #35. Shopaholic To The Stars by Sophia Kinsella. Prompt was a book by an author I like but haven't read yet. I'm starting to get back into my reading groove.

I just finished The Royal We last week. After a month of packing and finally moving I struggled to connect with a book. This was just light enough to do the trick :)

I only have a few prompts left, but I am struggling with them. I keep trying to find different books to satisfy the prompts! I think I will have no trouble eventually meeting each one except for the book that made me cry. I can't even think of a single book that has ever made me cry so I have NO IDEA what I will do. Most of the books suggested for this category are books I've read but that haven't generated tears!

I only finished one book for the challenge since last check in - book should have read in school. It was just as bad as I remembered it being from middle school.

Still 10 prompts to go but none of them are appealing to me right now so I've been reading other things on my To Read shelf. Hopefully I find motivation soon and finish off these last categories.

This week I read "The Power of a Praying Wife". While I thought the prayers were beautiful and useful l was very turned off by her overall point of view. I found it to be quite sexist. We are in the middle of a move from Alaska to Georgia so not a lot of reading is happening over here.

Wow, Kaci, that's quite a trek! Good luck on your move, and may the southern culture shock be bearable (the food certainly helps).

It's going to be a huge change but we're from New England so I'm definitely excited to be back to the East coast!

Finished "Pygmalion" this week (a play). Plan to read "Defending Jacob" next ( a book you started but haven't finished).

Sarah, do you ever read memoirs? They can be very tear jerky :) Particularly ones where they are kidnapped or brutally abused. I was "lucky" enough to tear up over a ww2 era book where in one scene he sees an old lady sitting on her porch after a bombing petting her dead cat say he wanted out of the shelter and there'd been so many false alarms... I think I was on my period lol but it was a very sad thought.

I'm new to the group but I've been doing the challenge with my mom since the beginning of the year. I'm just starting book #39 "Burial Rites" by Hannah Kent (somewhere i've always wanted to visit)
