Mod
Possibilities from my TBR: Orange is the New Black
Vampires in the Lemon Grove
Apple Tree Yard
What's Eating Gilbert Grape
Tomorrow there Will be Apricots
Raspberry Jam by Carolyn Wells. This is a locked room, supernatural mystery written in the 1920's. Looked interesting so I will mix it in the fruit salad.

Finished Raspberry Jam by Carolyn Wells. This was a very disappointing mystery. You have to read 40 percent of the book before a murder happens. Also did not like the characters. Anyway I added some raspberries to the fruit salad.
This challenge makes me hungry, I feel like I should buy some fruit and make a fruit salad. I was wondering what it would taste like if I used the fruit from this challenge. We would mix raspberries, apples, peaches, mango, oranges and blackberries.

I finished The Peach Keeper. There was not as much magical realism as I hoped from Sarah Addison Allen - and not enough peaches, either!
Mod
Just finished Five Quarters of the Orange by Joanne Harris. I loved all of the twists and turns throughout - a great read!
I have the audiobook for Orange is the New Black, so have settled on that one. I decided to ditch the PopSugar challenge because it is keeping me from too many fun-looking mini-challenges! I'm stopping with 27/41 finished. Close enough. :-) Mindy

I had set my own goal to finish the whole challenge like I did last year. But now let's just say my goal was to finish 27 tasks. haha
I just finished
- Out of Orange: A Memoir by Cleary Wolters, who is the person the Alex Vause character is based on. It was interesting to read her perspective of the incidents that led to their incarceration.
Nice, we have a theme going! In the book Orange is the New Black, Cleary/Alex is called Nora. I really enjoyed the book, even more than I do the Netflix series. Kerman is a very good writer...and the series has gotten pretty way out this season.Thanks for the challenge, Renee.
