EPBOT Readers discussion

This week I read Ancillary Justice which will be book from a nonhuman perspective at the moment. Possibly first book of a new series if I change my mind. I liked it, worldbuding was s little confusing.

I also read The Screwtape Letters which is s book of letters. Didn't like, felt like a thinly veiled lecture of what came Lewis considered virtuous vs sinful behavior.

Then I did Wishful Drinking which I'm not sure will count for anything. Possibly book with photos. It was a good read, short and kind of bittersweet.

Currently reading Library of Souls which i planned for book of photos, but I'll see if it fits anywhere else.

Are these challenges ones you make up yourself or are they group things? I've never done a challenge outside of my number of books read per year though it sounds interesting.

I'm currently doing both popsugar's 2017 reading challenge and the Book Riot's 2017 Read Harder challenge.

I think there's a few others floating around as well. I like it, it gets me to read some stuff that I wouldn't necessarily think to read on my own.

Not necessarily everything I read fits a challenge, but I do try to aim at least a book a week towards a challenge spot.

My personal rules are one book per challenge category, but since I'm doing two challenges I'll allow one book to count for one slot on each challenge, if it works out that way. (For example, I read Americanah, I counted it as popsugar's "book written by a person of color" and read harder's "book where all point of view characters are people of color".)

But those are my own rules! People who are slower readers or just want the challenge done faster or are busier will sometimes allow double dipping, or a book to count as many times as it works. Others do multiple challenges and insist on a separate book for every slot on every challenge.
