Ultimate Popsugar Reading Challenge discussion

If you have a list (even if incomplete) of what you plan to read for the challenge post it here. You can edit it as time goes on if you need to. That way we can see what others are planning for their year. Don't worry if you haven't picked your books yet, either. Some people are planning all books in advance, some aren't. Do what is right for you to have fun with this challenge.

As you finish a book you can either put a * or a √ next to it to show how many you've read so far. To get a checkmark on a PC hold the Alt key and type 251. On a Mac hold the Option key and type "V". You can also copy and paste the checkmarks I've made √ √
To do strikethrough text like this you type this first < s > then the text you'd like a line through then this < /s > but take out the spaces.

Tip from the mods: Remember the number of your post. That way it's easier to find when you need to update it. (The number won't change throughout the year.)

This year I have put both lists onto one post to simplify things for those doing both. If you are only doing the 40 books on the regular list you don’t have to copy over the 10 advanced prompts.

*So, I'm changing things up a little. Since this year's list is shorter at 50 books instead of 52, I'm following up with a little idea that I heard here in the group & expanding the last prompt on the challenge list into three prompts. Instead of picking a prompt for my favorite of 2015, 2016, OR 2017, I'm going to pick my favorite prompt from each of the three years and read a book for each one, hence the bonus two prompts at the bottom. I have picked my prompts for them, but those are subject to change at any time.
