Ultimate Popsugar Reading Challenge discussion

Opening this thread for those of you wanting to check in. (I have no progress to report. *sigh*)

I've almost caught up! This week I completed Clockwork Princess (trilogy) and Queen Song (A Red Queen novella) (a book set in the future). I don't like reading novellas for the challenge, because I feel like I'm cheating, but I suppose I've read enough long books to make up for it. :)

Just started "Defending Jacob" Saturday for my book you've started but haven't finished prompt.

I read two books last week but I can't use either one for prompts so I'm still holding strong at ten prompts remaining.

No progress this week. I'm reading the Princess Bride and loving it though. And I have a 20 hour plane ride coming up so as long as my toddler sleeps I should make some great progress in the next couple of days! I'm still holding out to finish on time but it's not looking good.

In new here, just found this group. As of tonight I've finished a book set at Christmas, number 42 for me!

I finished book #36 Garden Spells by Sarah Addison Allen. It was a decent book. I am enjoying her writing. She is an author I was introduced to by this challenge. I used this book as a Popular Authors First Book prompt.

I recently finished What Alice Forgot by Liane Moriarty and An Echo in the Bone by Diana Gabaldon (which was a reread, but first time listening to the audio version).

Neither meets my remaining prompts, but that's ok because I just love reading!

Currently I am working on Where the Cherry Tree Grew: The Story of Ferry Farm, George Washington's Boyhood Home for my book that takes place in my hometown. I am also reading The Secret Keeper by Kate Morton (which also does not fill a prompt for me, but I love Kate Morton and haven't read this book yet!)

I need to buckle down and read the books for my remaining prompts! This year will be over before I know it! :)

A lot of my friends and family are impressed by my progress but I am impressed by those of you who are reading outside the challenge!! Lol I've taken a full evening with note cards and lists rearranging them so I could fit everything I read into it.
