Currently Reading:
PopSugar Prompt = More than 600 pages prompt. Not sure which week I'm going to count this one for yet.

Very slowly updating my reading plan, and meshing it with my PopSugar 2016 reading plan!

Just placed a bunch of holds at the library of some of my TBR list, and now need to see where they fit into the challenge.


Maybe week 3? A book from the Goodreads Choice Awards 2015 (winner or nominated) and move Why not me?


Not sure what week? anyone have an idea?


Week 19 A non-fiction book (I think?)


Week 24 A "between the numbers" book of a series (0.5, 1,5, 2.5, etc.)


Week 23 The next book in a series you are reading


not sure which week for here. suggestions?


Week 41 A book about a major world event (fiction or non-fiction) or Week 39 A previous suggestion that did not make it into the list (a book with a date in the title)


Week 28 A biography, autobiography, or memoir


Week 5 A book with a title beginning with the 1st letter of your name


Week 4 A book by an author you discovered in 2015 (plus February book) unless it's supposed to be put somewhere else???

Also received

in an OwlCrate this month. I think I'll put that under
Week 32 A historical fiction book

Nimona can be #3 and Why Not #35.
Big Little can be #18 or #26 (as you were in the 2015 group).
Quiet can be #19.

Thank you! My brain wasn't working anymore as I tried to organize!

You're welcome. I find it more difficult to fit books rather than searching the accurate book in a list :)

We had family in town for the last week and 1/2, so I have no new updates, and am officially 2 books behind, but I picked up 6 books from the library that I had holds on, so I will be able to catch back up again.
