PopSugar Reading Challenge 2021 discussion

What free book (meaning gifted, borrowed, or library) did you read?

I’m reading ‘Crazy Stupid Bromance’ by Lyssa Kay Adams, which is book 3 in the Bromance Book Club. I’ve checked it out from the library to read on my kindle.

I’m reading Lillian Boxfish Takes a Walk. Got it from a Free Little Library. It might fit into another category, but I can’t be sure...

this is the vast majority of my reads, but I'm reading my shelves this year so there will be fewer library books. I'll probably just pop something in that spot during the year that doesn't fit into other categories or challenges.

Agreed! I also read a ton of books from little free libraries or take-a-book-leave-a-book situations at work. I love reading this way, because it usually means someone I know (coworker or neighbor) has read the same book, so I have someone to talk to about it. I recently picked up A Secret Kept, so I think I'll use that.

I get either one or two Kindle books free each month from Amazon Prime, so I'm counting one of them as a free book.

I totally agree with others who shared that most books they have fit into this category. I read You'll Grow Out of It by Jessi Klein, and it wouldn't fit in any other category so I used this one early on in the year! It was gifted to me from a friend during a holiday book exchange.

The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat and Other Clinical Tales was a gift from my mother

I read The Midnight Library by Matt Haig.

I read a lot of library books, and have picked up a few books free during neighbourhood lockdown clear-outs, so it was difficult to select just one book. However, this book was being given away free by my local library (and other UK libraries, I think), for World Book Night, so it actually covers two options of the prompt. It was also on my TBR list.

I enjoyed the book, it was a page-turner but not a rave read.
