PopSugar Reading Challenge 2021 discussion

For the week of Jan. 17-23.

This week, I finished 'Big Girl: How I Gave Up Dieting and Got a Life' by Kelsey Miller for the book that discusses Body Positivity. I rated it three stars on Goodreads.

I finished 'Teddy Spaghetti' by Dorothea Benton Frank for the shortest book (by pages) on my TBR list. It was only 32 pages. I rated it five stars on Goodreads.

I'm currently reading 'Wink of an Eye' by Lynn Chandler-Willis for the book with fewer than 1,000 reviews on Goodreads. It's a mystery, and I'm currently 79% complete and thoroughly enjoying it.

I'm also reading 'Mere Christianity' by C.S. Lewis for a from my TBR list that I meant to read last year, but didn't. I'm currently 15% complete with it. I'm reading it more slowly and savoring it.

I was really onto poetry this week. I did my Muslim American author:Hala Alyan "I'm Not A Girl In A Movie " as audiobook.

I also did a different format: Frank O'Hara "Lunch Poems" as audiobooks.

I had a long drive over the weekend. I had my 10 year old son with me, do had to be careful about the audiobook. We listened to "Across That Bridge " by John Lewis. It was perfect and my son also enjoyed it.

I finished "An Easy Death" by Charlaine Harris as an ebook.. I am doing it as multiple countries, sort of as a joke. But it would work for magical realism or mixed genre.

I am reading "A Longer Fall" and will likely finish today. This is an ebook.

I finished Undercover Bromance by Lyssa Kay Adams for the book set in a restaurant theme. I really enjoyed this one.

I also read Crazy Stupid Bromance by Lyssa Kay Adams. I used it for the free book from my TBR pile, since I got it from the library. This is a fun series, but I enjoyed Undercover Bromance a bit more than this one.

I read Me Before You by Jojo Moyes. This was my DNF book from my TBR list. I had started listening to it as an audiobook years ago when I was driving everywhere interviewing for a new job. I had to return it to the library before I finished, and in the insanity with starting a new job, I never got around to checking it out again. But I'm glad I finally finished it now.

Finally, I read After You by Jojo Moyes, which is the sequel to Me Before You. This one I used for the book about a do-over or fresh start prompt.

For this week I read 2 books.

I read ‘Red, White, and Royal Blue’ by Casey McQuinston, which is a book in which we discover what happens when the first son of the United States falls in love with the Prince of England. It’s hilarious too- reads very much like a rom com.

I also read ‘Ashes to Ashes’ by A. Lonergan, which is a Cinderella retelling that has tons of twists and was super good! I used this for a title with the same name as a song.

Just finished A Voice in the Wind. It was SO good. There are 2 more books in the series, so I may have to figure out if they fit anywhere in this challenge!! :)

Week 3 books, and I’ll be caught up with my posts....Mighty be Our Powers by Leymah Gbowee, The Mirror Cracked from side to side by Agatha Christie, My Name is Seepeetza by Shirley Sterling
