Pop Sugar's Annual Ultimate Reading Challenge discussion

the best idea i have for this is Wicked Lovely. but i don't think that really counts. what are some ideas you guys have?

I can't decide on this one yet. But there is a book called The Beautiful-Ugly. I'm also betting there are zombie books with some type of play on 'the living dead' in the title.

:/ i did some searching. i probably won't use any of these, but there is a Living Dead option for me so i will probably do some of those.

Big Little Lies by Liane Moriarty
North and South by John Jakes
War and Peace

I sort of feel like the creator of the popsugar list just put the antonym topic to get us all to read War and Peace.

:/ i did some searching. i probably won't use any of these,...
This is the same problem I'm having! I can find books, but I'm not super interested in the ones I've found.

^ or Crime and Punishment, yeah.

I was wondering about this too. I guess it depends on how loosely we want the book to qualify as having an antonym.

Would count?

I wikipedia'd antonyms to see if that would help: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opposite...

Big Little Lies is a can't-put-it-down read. There is also Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil. -classified non-fiction about a famous murder mystery in a Savannah. And Hotel on the Corner of a Bitter and Sweet is set in Seattle. They are both terrific books. And they could fulfil antonym and home town location for some readers.

I found a couple more that have been laying around Goodreads that I didn't really notice before because what-are-antonyms.

The one I'll probably read is The Distance Between Lost and Found. So yeah, just searching antonyms can get you some interesting results too.

One I've read that I would recommend is "A Great and Terrible Beauty" by Libba Bray. It takes place at a girl's boarding school (sort of Victorian-esque time period) and has supernatural elements - I really enjoyed it!

It's also the first in a trilogy if you want to knock that one out too Kelsey! Personally I wasn't interested enough to finish it but, clearly YMMV.

Ah, I read it a while ago myself, but thanks. :)

I have Rich Man, Poor Man on my list for this challenge.

Oh! Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil! I have that book but haven't read it. Thanks. I was really wondering about what to read for this one. ^_^

I'm reading beautiful music for ugly children

This thread was helpful. I had no idea what this challenge was.

Hey, found this one. The Sisters Brothers
Would this one count?

@Dariana - works for me :)

Big Little Lies by Liane Moriarty was great!
