It‘s HERE!!!! #Pop23 and I‘m really kind of disappointed ☹️ I think I‘m skipping it!!!
I can‘t remember who to tag so I‘m going off memory 🤪

KarenUK, Megabooks, Cortg, jenniferw88, Laughterhp, alisiakae, squirrelbrain, BarbaraBB, RaeLovesToRead

Cortg I just saw it! Super excited even though I still need to finish this year‘s 😂 2y

Lindy Why are you disappointed? 2y

IndoorDame I have to say I kind of agree. There are a few prompts I‘m really excited about, but I think not enough (though to be fair I want to do fewer challenges next year, so I‘m probably looking for excuses to skip some) 2y

See All 43 Comments

Cinfhen Many of these prompts are repeats from the last few years @Lindy I don‘t see one original idea that I haven‘t seen before. I also dislike the fact that two prompts ask you to re-read a book and 2 prompts have to do with your birth year - plus the one about an author with the same initials as you. That‘s been done before and I really couldn‘t find any. It‘s so uninspiring @IndoorDame 2y

Cinfhen I‘m glad you‘re looking forward @Cortg but I‘m trying a new one that @jenniferw88 suggested to me #52BookClub 2y

Laughterhp Hmm kind of boring looking all these prompts. 2y

Cinfhen I‘m super bummed @Laughterhp it‘s so uninspired! It‘s literally all prompts from previous years. I know it‘s difficult to keep things fresh but this feels super lazy 🤷🏼‍♀️ 2y

Cortg I just got a chance to look through the list on my lunch break. It‘s not very challenging and I‘m much for rereading books. We‘ll see. 2y

Megabooks It‘s so blah. Like they put no thought into it. I was on the fence, and now I doubt I‘ll do it. 🤷🏻‍♀️ 2y

Clwojick Agreed! I found way better ones on StoryGraph that I‘ll be doing this year instead. There‘s nothing super creative or challenging on this list at all. I think I‘ll be skipping this year as well. 2y

Cinfhen I hate being so negative @Cortg @Megabooks but I totally agree with @Clwojick there are MUCH better ones out there!!! The POP team didn‘t put any effort into this year‘s challenge. 2y

Clwojick Hoping #BeatTheBacklist and #PickYourPoison will make up for it. 2y

jenniferw88 Was just about to post about it - I won't bother now! 😂😂😂 2y

Cortg @Cinfhen You‘re not! I‘ve done several read harder challenges in the past and a lot of the prompts on this have been done on those as well. It is a boring challenge list for ‘23. 🙄 2y

Cinfhen @Clwojick what‘s #PickYourPoison about?? I think I might do the nonfiction Dewey Decimal Challenge over on Storygraph 2y

Cinfhen @jenniferw88 what do you think about this list, Jenny ? I‘m so happy you shared the other challenge with me!!! 2y

Cinfhen Yessss @Cortg I stopped doing Read Harder because it was well, harder!!! But at least it was a “challenge” 😂😅 2y

squirrelbrain Hmm, I‘m not overly keen on this one either, but now I‘m thinking I might not even do #52weeks either, give myself a bit of a break from too many challenges. 🤔 2y

Cinfhen I hear ya @squirrelbrain !!! 2y

KarenUK I see what you mean…. Definitely some repeats…. But I‘ll probably do it anyway… 2y

BarbaraBB @KarenUK Me too probably, just because of the planning but I admit it is not very inspiring! (edited) 2y

Cinfhen I feel like taking on less is more manageable @KarenUK @BarbaraBB plus #BookBuyingBan 😆 (edited) 2y

Megabooks What are some of the storygraph ones you‘ve seen @Cinfhen and @Clwojick ?? Part of me wants to find another challenge to replace this and part of me says I‘ve committed to enough. 2y

jenniferw88 @Cinfhen I had started planning, but was only going to do it if you were joining in to share ideas, so I'm not doing it either. Probably just as well as I've already committed to 8! 2y

Cinfhen @jenniferw88 OMG!!! 8!!!! No wonder you mixed up one yesterday!!! So I‘m doing #Booked ( obviously 🙄) #ReadingTheAmericas #52BookClub and I just joined on StoryGraph the nonfiction challenge reading one book from the ten classifications of the Dewey Decimal System ( so only 10 books) and I think that‘s enough 😅 @Megabooks (edited) 2y

Clwojick @Megabooks if you check out my profile, I‘ve been posting pics of my #bulletjournal with all sorts of challenges. There‘s a couple links to story graph challenges I‘ve made too. 2y

Clwojick @jennifer @Cinfhen this was definitely the year I attempted ALL the challenges with over 40 different challenges going on. Although I finished most, I‘ll have a more “focused” plan this year, so hopefully I can resist some of them. 😅 however I‘ve already finished laying out 100 pages in my 2023 bujo so who knows? 2y

Cinfhen That‘s INSANE @Clwojick !!!!! Do you EVER SLEEP??? 2y

RaeLovesToRead You got there first! 2y

jenniferw88 @Cinfhen 😂 I have other ones as well on Storygraph, but they're not time-limited to a year! 2y

Clwojick @Cinfhen honestly, not really. I tend to pick up a lot of overnight shifts, which means I‘m the only staff in that whole half of the hospital, so I normally get through 2-3 audiobooks a shift. 🦉 2y

Lindy @Cinfhen Ah! Your explanation makes sense. 2y

Cinfhen Thanks, @Lindy I was REALLY EXCITED for the challenge so it was a major letdown yesterday when the list was revealed (at least for me!!!) 2y

Larkken Aw, bummer! I enjoyed this challenge this last year. I guess I might do 52 books instead… hm 2y

Cinfhen There are still plenty of people still doing #pop23 @Larkken but I‘d love for you to join #52Books 😀tag me if you join, so I can add you to my reads as I go along with @jenniferw88 @BarbaraBB and maybe @squirrelbrain not sure who else is participating 🤷🏼‍♀️ 2y

Lindy @Cinfhen It seems that you already read quite widely. Maybe you‘ve outgrown this type of challenge? But I do see the fun in participating, and I‘m glad there are other challenges you have joined. 2y

Deblovestoread I‘m joining the 52 books 52 weeks challenge and was underwhelmed by PopSugar for next year. Keeping an eye out for Read Harder but will probably just do 52 and Booked 2y

Cinfhen Yay @Deblovestoread I‘ll add you to our tag list for prompt ideas and inspiration @jenniferw88 @BarbaraBB @squirrelbrain ( unless Helen decides to opt out of #52BooksClub23) 2y

squirrelbrain I‘ll probably do it @Cinfhen - you know me! 🤣 2y

Cinfhen I was hoping you‘d say that @squirrelbrain 🤗🤗🤗 2y

BarbaraBB Cindy please add @AshleyHoss820 to the #52books taglist. She‘d like to join! (edited) 2y

Cinfhen Will do - thanks @BarbaraBB and welcome to the crew @AshleyHoss820 2y

AshleyHoss820 @BarbaraBB @Cinfhen Thank you!! 2y

I loved sharing book suggestions and reviews with you, and hope we‘ll do it again next year!

My #pop22 update for Q3. Just eight books in three months and six more to go to finish the challenge. Quote positive I‘ll manage it, I have even planned those six reads.

KarenUK, Megabooks, Cinfhen, Cortg, Laughterhp, squirrelbrain, RaeLovesToRead

RaeLovesToRead I think I've only done about 8 prompts 😬 Oh well, I still love taking part! 2y

BarbaraBB @RaeLovesToRead It‘s fun anyhow! 2y

RaeLovesToRead What did you read Decagon house for? 2y

BarbaraBB @RaeLovesToRead Set in the 1980s! 2y

Cortg I still have probably 15 to go. I most likely won‘t finish, but that‘s ok. I‘m currently making my way through 3, so maybe! 2y

squirrelbrain Great choices! I think I have about 6 or 7 left too…I‘ll have to check my spreadsheet. 😁 2y

BarbaraBB @squirrelbrain Lots of updating to do I guess after your reading retreat without spreadsheet 😉😘 2y

Cinfhen I‘ve got one left!!! Hugo Award Winner!! 2y

BarbaraBB @Cinfhen That‘s a tough one, I need that one too. I planned to read

Here‘s my progress to the end of June for #pop22.

I have books planned already for most of the other prompts, although not for one or two. A book set in September (my favourite month) would be useful… and a book about gender identity, if anyone has any ideas. I looked for the one you read for the gender identity prompt @KarenUK but can‘t seem to find it here….

Megabooks, Cinfhen, Kalalalatja, Cortg, jenniferw88, Laughterhp, alisiakae, BarbaraBB, RaeLovesToRead

jenniferw88 I'm either using

Detransition, Baby: A Novel

jenniferw88 Or this one for gender identity

The Once and Future Witches

Cinfhen Have you read this book ~ I really liked it

The Septembers of Shiraz: A Novel

See All 17 Comments

Cinfhen Great progress 💗 2y

Megabooks This is what I used for gender. It was quite good

Fine: A Comic About Gender

BarbaraBB You have made fantastic progress for someone who joined only a few months ago 😃 2y

squirrelbrain I‘ve read Detransition already…. @jenniferw88 -I‘ll check the other one out. (edited) 2y

squirrelbrain I think that‘s the same as @KarenUK read, Meg @Megabooks and I can‘t get it over here… 2y

squirrelbrain That one sounds great @cinfhen - I‘ll stack it! 2y

RaeLovesToRead I'm gonna read Detransition Baby too... although I already read The Descent of Man by Grayson Perry and I'm wondering if I could have used that one as it's about masculinity as a concept in general? 2y

squirrelbrain I definitely think you could use that one @RaeLovesToRead - I thought I had it on my Kindle TBR too, but I don‘t! 🤔 2y

RaeLovesToRead I overthink all of these challenges so much! I was wondering if I could use The Electric State (an alternate history story) for parallel universe, but then I started worrying if it counted because it was all set in the one world! 🙈😅 2y

squirrelbrain I overthink *everything* too @RaeLovesToRead 🤦‍♀️ 2y

KarenUK I loved this one…. Not specifically September, but definitely Autumn/Fall ….

Jacket Weather

Cortg I recommend the tagged book. It‘s an excellent graphic novel memoir and the #1 banned book in the US according to ALA (American Library Association)

Gender Queer: A Memoir Deluxe Edition

(edited) 2y

squirrelbrain Ooh that sounds fab @KarenUK - and I see I stacked it already from your original post! (Because…NYC!) 2y

squirrelbrain Thank you @Cortg - that sounds great and, even better, I found it on Scribd! 2y

Laughterhp What prompt did you use Sea of Tranquility for? I also read it and am wondering if I can use it for this! 2y

KarenUK I used it for man-made disaster, because of the ‘climate ravaged earth‘ of the story… @Laughterhp It‘d also work for the advanced prompt of parallel timelines I think… 2y

Megabooks You‘re doing great! 2y

The first quarter of the year I‘ve read 20 books for #pop22, including 4 of the advanced prompts. They are randomly pictured so not corresponding with the numbers of the prompts, I was too lazy to figure out how to do that 🤷🏻‍♀️

First quarter update for #pop22 is 13 plus 1 for the advanced list…. Not too shabby, but not great either! My slump continues…… 🤦‍♀️

Cinfhen Great progress!! Just read what your brain is needing now 😁How much longer until your little getaway??? 3y

KarenUK @squirrelbrain just can‘t face a challenging read right now! 🤷‍♀️💕 3y

KarenUK @barbarabb Oooh Persephone sounds like a good idea. 💕 3y

KarenUK 2 weeks Thursday! Cannot wait! Love my job so much…. But definitely need a vacation! 💕 @Cinfhen How is your father-in-law doing? 3y

Cinfhen Believe it or not, my hubby took him to another oncologist for a second opinion and we got a much better prognosis. He might be a good candidate for a one pill treatment with minimal side effects. They will know more in 2 weeks after his PET scan. Thanks for checking in xxx 3y

Totally stealing Cindy‘s layout idea for #pop22. And hi 👋, yes, I wasn‘t going to do it this year but here I am! When I looked I‘d already done 19 of the prompts (with a bit of jiggling around) so though I‘d join in.

I have ideas for most of the rest but struggling on some….there seems to be several SF and fantasy prompts, which aren‘t genres that I love.

Looking forward to the rest of the year though! 😁

KarenUK, Megabooks, Cinfhen, Kalalalatja, Cortg, jenniferw88, Laughterhp, alisiakae, BarbaraBB, RaeLovesToRead

Cinfhen Woohoo!!! Welcome to our crew, Helen 😁🌻💕 3y

RaeLovesToRead Yay! 💕 I am not going to graphically represent my progress yet because I've not managed to do many prompts so far...😅😬 every month I say I'm going to do better but I've just bought a load of Hobb's so may still be behind! 3y

Cortg Nice 🙌🏼 What did you use The Lincoln Highway for? It‘s a book choice for my book club this summer! 3y

squirrelbrain @Cortg - I used it for ‘favourite prompt from a previous year‘ and chose ‘book with a map in it‘. I love a good map! 3y

Cortg Perfect! I may “borrow” that ☺️ 3y

Megabooks Glad to have you Helen! (I thought of you the other day when molly and I caught a squirrel stealing one of our bulbs. Cute but naughty! 😉🐿) 3y

#Jan2022TBR
My ambitious (for me)reading plan for January!
3 x 2021 #arcs I didn‘t get to, and 5 more for January, my bookclub is reading The Other Black Girl, and 2 short reads that fit challenges…..

I must keep up with my Arcs this year! I‘m always a month behind! 🤦‍♀️

squirrelbrain I really liked the Shafak, and have the Yanagihara on my list for January too. (edited) 3y

BarbaraBB Are you going to read this one for #pop22? Which prompt?

The Island of Missing Trees

Here‘s my POTENTIAL list for #Pop22 💕 Thanks for the inspiration @KarenUK
It‘s a tougher year (for me) as a lot of the prompts seem to favor romance, SF & fantasy.
I‘ve tried to use books I own or can borrow & books that work for other reading challenges.

Still eager to see what others will choose…

Megabooks, Kalalalatja, Cortg, Laughterhp, alisiakae, BarbaraBB, RaeLovesToRead

RaeLovesToRead Awesome! 😁 Which prompts are you using for The Only Good Indians & The Five? 3y

BarbaraBB Such a cool list. I am working on mine too but it‘s hard this year. I can‘t rely on my own tbr shelves! 3y

The Five: The Untold Lives of the Women Killed by Jack the Ripper

Cinfhen I‘m happy to send you my physical books @BarbaraBB after I read them for any prompts you need xx 3y

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick Some good ones on your list & a few of the same I'm hoping to place into challenges, too. 3y

Cinfhen Thanks @Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick planning is always fun 🤩 which books are on your #ReadersRadar 3y

KarenUK Some great choices here! I may steal a few ideas myself!! 3y

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick I enjoyed Sundown Motel, People We Meet on Vacation, Gent's Guide, and The Five. Books I planned in Oct were different by Dec but I'm hoping to place Velvet Was the Night, Seven Days in June, and Malibu Rising somewhere. Tagged written by a friend for prompt 1, Last Night at the Telegraph Club for 5, Song of Achilles for 11, and Butterflied in November for 23. I have sticky notes and excel lists of ideas. The planning is the best part!

After We Were Stolen: A Novel

BarbaraBB Thank you friend 🤍🤍 3y

Cinfhen Your friend‘s book sounds fabulous @Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick you have loads of good ideas…and I LOVED

Song of Achilles

Cortg You've got a good list! I've read a handful and enjoyed them! I'm waiting patiently for the library system to process the 3rd book in the Gentleman's guide series. Such a fun set of books. I'm looking forward on your thoughts of To Paradise. A Little Life is one of my all time faves and haven't read her new one yet. Cheers! 3y

Cinfhen It‘s not out yet but it‘s definitely a book I‘m looking forward to and I preordered the audio @Cortg

To Paradise

Cortg @Cinfhen I love book release anticipation! 3y

britt_brooke @Cinfhen 😆 That‘s 100% my problem. I don‘t really plan my reading. The next week is bonkers busy, but hopefully I‘ll get a chance to jot down some possibilities soon! 3y

Sugar Pop Moon: A Jersey Leo Novel | John Florio

Ideas for advanced #pop22 again subject to many changes!!!

Megabooks, Cinfhen, Kalalalatja, Cortg, alisiakae, BarbaraBB, RaeLovesToRead

Cinfhen Not sure if I‘ll attempt the advanced prompts but a few books I‘m already hoping to read…. Thanks for sharing😘 3y

RaeLovesToRead I'm also going for Six of Crows for a duology... although on GR there is a Six of Crows 3 listed (?!) The only other Duologys I can think of are Strange the Dreamer (💙💙💙) and Love Virtually/ Every Seventh Wave (which I also loved...) 3y

BarbaraBB I still have to find out what a Duology means 🤷🏻‍♀️. And I loved

The Imperfectionists: A Novel

See All 12 Comments

alisiakae @RaeLovesToRead the 3rd Six of Cros book comes out in Feb 3y

RaeLovesToRead @BarbaraBB A duology is a series of two. (Like trilogy is a series of three). Books don't tend to come in twos so it's a difficult one. @4thhouseontheleft Six of Crows is referred to a lot as a duology, so I might count it and pretend the 3rd is a sequel 😏 Unless anyone has any other recommendations? It's a tricky prompt. 3y

KarenUK @4thhouseontheleft We‘ve sold it as a duology at the bookstore forever, so I‘m sticking with it!!!! 😉 @RaeLovesToRead 3y

KarenUK @barbarabb I‘m so glad, because I know it got VERY mixed reviews… it‘s my Rome pick, for twinned cities (with Paris) 3y

BarbaraBB It‘s a fun read! By the way, if my t&t is right a small parcel has been delivered at your address today for under your Christmas tree 🎄 - or to open when you like! 3y

KarenUK @BarbaraBB Aww thanks my lovely! I‘ll check my mailbox when I get home xxx 3y

Cortg You're ambitious! Not sure if I'll get to the advanced portion, but we'll see!
3y

KarenUK It arrived @BarbaraBB ! Thank you so much, that‘s so kind of you! I‘m saving it for Xmas day 😘😘😘 3y

BarbaraBB Glad it arrived! 🤍 3y

Your wish is my command! @Cinfhen @BarbaraBB …. Still stumped by a couple……
I‘ll post my advanced plan too!
And of course these are all probably going to change!! #pop22

Megabooks, Kalalalatja, Cortg, Laughterhp, alisiakae, RaeLovesToRead

Cinfhen Woohoo!!! Thanks 😘😘need to screenshot for further examination!!!! 3y

RaeLovesToRead Ooh I love it! I'm also gonna read Time War for Hugo award and Under the Whispering Door for afterlife (or another book by 2021 author..). Out of the others A Little Life is an absolute masterpiece (but devastating to read) and Tipping the Velvet is incredible too! 3y

BarbaraBB Wow! I love this. I am going to examine it thoroughly! Thanks!!! 3y

See All 14 Comments

BarbaraBB @RaeLovesToRead @Cortg and @Laughterhp would like to be tagged as well regarding #pop22! 3y

RaeLovesToRead @BarbaraBB Thanks! Sorry if I missed anyone on my recent post @Cortg @Laughterhp I've written a little list now 😊 Plan to start ransacking my shelves for more pop22 picks soon! 3y

RaeLovesToRead @KarenUK Are you using Death on the Nile as the cruise ship prompt? I was thinking of doing the same, although it is also being made into a film in 2022. (Although I may use Salem's Lot for that one...) 3y

Cortg This is fantastic! I agree with @BarbaraBB A Little Life is one of my all time faves, but it'll tear your heart out. I've started penciling in my list but I want to take some time to go through the physical books on my bookshelf to see what I can read and pass on. I seem to have some chunksters on my list, which is probably not helpful for this giant challenge, but we'll see. I'm sure I'm feeling way too optimistic going into the 2022! 3y

BarbaraBB @RaeLovesToRead I didn‘t mean to correct you! I wanted to let Karen know about the three of you 🤍 3y

RaeLovesToRead @BarbaraBB Oops sorry! 😄😅 3y

KarenUK I‘m actually using it as the “protagonist uses a mobility aid” ! @RaeLovesToRead 3y

RaeLovesToRead Ah, yes, of course! (I got to see Poirot's ACTUAL cane last month when I saw David Suchet at the theatre 😁) 3y

Cortg @KarenUK How did you get all 40 books on one collage? I tried PicCollage but i would only allow 20 pictures 😞 3y

KarenUK You can only add 20 at a time…. But if you add 20, then you can add a second batch of 20….. hope this helps! @Cortg 3y

Cortg @KarenUK Thanks! I just did a part 1 and part 2 😂 3y

#pop21 The Pop Sugar Reading Challenge 2021 has led me to these books! I am looking forward to another year of #pop22: reading books outside my comfort zone, mixing & matching with other challenges and sharing suggestions with other people involved in the challenge!

If you want to join our small group of people who shares their choices for the various prompts, let us know!

KarenUK, Megabooks, Cinfhen, Kalalalatja, alisiakae

Cortg Oooh, I‘ve been debating about trying a reading challenge! It‘s been a few years since I‘ve tackled one but I‘ll soon be an empty nester with more reading time on my hands. I‘d love to give it a go! 3y

Another #pop21 update. These are the books I read in the third quarter of the year. Four more to go to finish the challenge. Suggestions are welcome for the prompts I still need 😃:
- a dark academia book
- a book with a gem, mineral or rock in the title
- a book set in a restaurant
- a book that was published anonymously

KarenUK, Megabooks, Cinfhen, Kalalalatja, alisiakae

EvieBee Good job! Have you already read this one? For set in a restaurant.

Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe (Bound for Schools & Libraries)

Cinfhen Woohoo!!! I was gonna read this one for #WrittenByAnonymous

Becoming Duchess Goldblatt

Cinfhen But I ended up reading this one

Go Ask Alice (Turtleback School & Library)

Cinfhen I read this one for #SetInRestaurant

Eat A Peach: A Memoir

Cinfhen This was my #GemMineralRock

Diamond Doris: The Sensational True Story of the World�s Most Notorious International Jewel Thief

Cinfhen This was my #DarkAcademia

The Swallows

Cinfhen This would also work for #DarkAcademia

Maidens

Cinfhen Or

Madam

BarbaraBB @EvieBee No! And I‘ve always meant to. Thanks!! 3y

BarbaraBB @Cinfhen Yay, thanks! I‘m gonna check them out. The swallows I remember 😉 (edited) 3y

Megabooks I did a lot of nonfiction for this. Dark academia was

Guilty Admissions: The Bribes, Favors, and Phonies Behind the College Cheating Scandal

Megabooks And the rock was

Stoned: Jewelry, Obsession, and How Desire Shapes the World

Megabooks I‘d have to look at my list for the other two. 💜 3y

Megabooks Just looked. Restaurant was

32 Yolks: From My Mother's Table to Working the Line

Megabooks And anonymous was

Beowulf: A New Translation

KarenUK I enjoyed this one for dark academia

Madam

KarenUK I‘m sure you‘ve read this, but this works

The Secret History

KarenUK I haven‘t read it yet, but I‘m going to read this for anonymous, because I enjoyed Enchanted April so much…

Elizabeth and Her German Garden

KarenUK For set in a restaurant, I loved Writers & Lovers by Lily King, but I think you‘ve read that? I was thinking of reading this one, as I loved The Elegance of the Hedgehog so much

Gourmet Rhapsody

KarenUK And this one for gem/rock/stone etc

Bass Rock, The

BarbaraBB Thanks @KarenUK, this is so helpful. I will definitely check out the Von Armin for anonymous. Loved Enchanted April too! 3y

My second update of #pop21. In the second quarter of the year I have read a lot less for the challenge. As always the start is the easiest. However, I have ticked off 37 prompts now (including some bonus ones) and it should be doable to finish the remaining within the next six months!

KarenUK, Megabooks, Cinfhen, Kalalalatja, alisiakae

Cinfhen Woohoo!!! 37 is practically complete 🙌🏻 I have one prompt left - book written by anonymous and a few bonus ones 3y

KarenUK Wow amazing job! 💕 3y

sarahbarnes Wow - some great books on here too! 3y

Megabooks Fantastic job!! I am at 37 as well! 👍🏻 3y

BarbaraBB @Cinfhen I am going to read the tagged one for that prompt - and will use it for #ReadingAsia2021 as well

A Passage to India

BarbaraBB @Megabooks Really? That is such a coincidence! 3y

alisiakae I‘m at 28 for the year so far. 3y

KarenUK I have 1 advanced and 5 regular prompts left….. as you say… definitely doable! 💕 3y

Time for an update about my #pop21. So far I read 25 books, so I can finish the challenge in another three months 😉. Probably won‘t though, the first half is always the easiest. But I do think I have a collection of great books so far and am happily continuing to the next half!

KarenUK, Megabooks, Cinfhen, Kalalalatja, alisiakae

Cinfhen Woohoo!!! I‘m close to done myself 🥰Well done 🧡🎉 4y

Kalalalatja Ooooh, I need to do a count of how many books I have finished, too 🙌 4y

alisiakae Great job! I‘m at 17 so far. 4y

Megabooks Awesome!! I‘m at 35 of the regular prompts and 5 of the advanced! The Storygraph has made it so easy to keep track of! 4y

BarbaraBB @Megabooks It does! I use it all the time! 4y

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick In January I thought I'd be happy to get through 25 prompts. I'm already at 12 completed and it's surprising how I've managed to check off a few unplanned. I think I can get close to all 50 this year. 4y

BarbaraBB @Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick I never do the advanced but I feel confident this year to at least give it a try! 4y

Ok @BarbaraBB @KarenUK you‘ve both inspired me!! I‘ll probably change half of these but for now this is my #PoP21 plan 📚I either own or have access to all of these titles, so that‘s a HUGE DEAL plus a few are #DoubleDips 🍦🍦Anyone else planning their #POP21 challenge grid....books are in order from 1-40
( I think 😉)

Cinfhen I know you‘re participating @4thhouseontheleft so I‘m sharing my ideas 💚💚💚 (edited) 4y

alisiakae I've been debating putting together a grid! I plan on reading Binti this year, too. 😃 4y

KarenUK I‘ve screenshot both of your lists... and will definitely steal some ideas! This is going to be a fun year of reading for sure! @BarbaraBB @Cinfhen 4y

See All 20 Comments

BarbaraBB Great list! A lot of these books are on my shelves too and I can see myself using them for #pop21 too. 4y

Cinfhen Maybe we can do a few BuddyReads @BarbaraBB @KarenUK 4y

KarenUK @Cinfhen great idea! 👍 4y

BarbaraBB 👌🏽 4y

Megabooks Tiny Beautiful Things is an all-time fave! 4y

Cinfhen I know it‘s a fav of @KarenUK too!!!! @Megabooks so im looking forward to finally reading it. 4y

LeahBergen Damn, girl! You‘re so organized. 😂 4y

Cinfhen I had wayyyy too much fun creating the grid @LeahBergen I‘m pretty sure I won‘t stick to half of these ideas 😜 4y

Kalalalatja I want to join ALL THE READING CHALLENGES, but I can‘t really figure out, if it will motivate me, or stress me out 😅 but seeing your posts are definitely inspiring 🤔😄 4y

Reggie Soooo double dips are ok? I‘m doing the popsugar and readharder and wondered if categories across challenges can share books? 4y

Cinfhen For me, that‘s part of the fun @Reggie how many prompts from various challenges can one book fulfill😉 #DoubleDips are DEFINITELY allowed🙌🏻I‘m excited you‘re doing #Pop21 and #ReadHarder ~ can‘t wait to see what you choose ♥️ 4y

Cinfhen @Kalalalatja I‘m not allowing these challenges to stress me out.... I use them as my reading guide 😜It gives me direction somehow but I can totally get how they can become overwhelming. BTW: Trish got her package yesterday so hopefully yours will come in the next day or two 🤞🏽 4y

Kalalalatja That was how they used to work for me, but this year, I haven‘t been able to keep track of which books I wanted to read, I haven‘t really bought new books (😱🤯), and my planning has been non existent. I‘m definitely doing #booked2021, but looking at my unread shelf, I don‘t think I have books that fit the prompts, so I‘ll have to do some research 😅 exciting, I‘ll keep an eye out for it! 4y

Cinfhen Well im SUPER glad you‘re back for #Booked2021 and im happy to send you books after I read them if you‘re missing prompts @Kalalalatja 💗💗💗 4y

Kalalalatja Thanks Cindy, I‘ll keep that in mind ☺️ even though I didn‘t really plan for #booked2020, I ended up reading all but three prompts, so I‘m hoping it will all work out somehow 🤞 4y

Centique I love the planning part of the year too so I appreciate your grid! It‘s a beauty. (I know I don‘t do any of these challenges but I have a very curated list of my own 😂😂) PS. I‘ll be so interested in what you think of The Signature of All Things. I LOVED the first half of it but not the second half. However you might have the opposite feeling as the first half is quite slow. I love your honest reactions anyhow!💕 4y

Cinfhen I‘m excited for that book @Centique I‘ve loaned it to several friends who all loved it!! I‘ll keep you posted 😘

#popsugar2020 This is the first year I tackled the #advanced prompts, and really enjoyed the ‘2020‘ theme (though some became a bit redundant, like “read a book where the Olympics are going to take place in 2020” !!)

ValerieAndBooks Looks like fun. I‘m terrible at reading challenges, but this looks doable. Can a book be checked more than once? Is there a Litsy hashtag for this, and does anyone need to be tagged? 4y

Butterfinger Yes. 4y

alisiakae This will be my 6th year! I was working this morning, so didn‘t see it until 1/2 hr after it posted, I feel so late 😜😂 4y

Brooke_H That “a DNF from your TBR list” baffles me. If I already DNF‘d it, why would I try it again? 🤔 4y

alisiakae @ValerieAndBooks I used #pop20 this year (although forgot to tag posts once Covid hit), and #pop21 for the new one 4y

alisiakae @Brooke_H I felt the same way!!it‘s the only prompt I don‘t really like. But I have a few books that I have bailed on because the timing wasn‘t right, or my Libby loan expired (usually heavier NF books) so I plan on going back to one of them. 4y

Hestapleton Damn I wasn‘t going to but HERE I AM ONCE AGAIN 4y

BarbaraBB @ValerieAndBooks It is doable indeed. Just use the hashtag #pop21 as @4thhouseontheleft suggests, than we can keep track of and be inspired by what others read for the prompts. And if you want to use a book for multiple prompts that should be okay I think! (edited) 4y

BarbaraBB @Hestapleton Haha, it is always so tempting right? 4y

BarbaraBB @Brooke_H I think I might skip the advanced prompts just because of this one and the one about the longest book, which is in my case

1001 Arabian Nights

BarbaraBB @Butterfinger @4thhouseontheleft It will be fun again! Looking forward to your choices, I start planning tonight 😃 4y

Butterfinger Just waiting on the ReadHarder one now. My family gets aggravated with my challenges and I say - it is either this or I go back to school. 4y

Sugar Pop Moon: A Jersey Leo Novel | John Florio

I keep reading about the PopSugar Challenge. What is it? Where can I find out more about it?

Tove_Reads https://www.popsugar.com/entertainment/Reading-Challenge-2018-44138581 7y

CoffeeCatsBooks It‘s on the Popsugar website. They have a file you can download that shows you all the categories. They also have a link to the Goodreads group. 2018 will be my first time joining it! 📚 7y

julesG Wanted to link this, too. @Tove_Reads - when you google search popsugar challenge there are quite a lot of challenges coming up. 7y

CatLass007 @Tove_Reads @CoffeeCatsBooks @julesG thank you all so much for responding to my question. This looks really interesting. My Goodreads goal for next year is 50 books. I don‘t know if I‘ll do the actual challenge but this will give me some great ideas! 7y

PurpleyPumpkin Here's the link of the GR group I follow for the Pop Sugar Reading Challenge. https://www.goodreads.com/group/show/152458-ultimate-popsugar-reading-challenge 7y

CatLass007 @PurpleyPumpkin Thank you for the Goodreads link! 7y

PurpleyPumpkin No problem! I‘ve done it the last couple of years and it‘s been fun. I‘ll admit, though, that I haven‘t actually finished one yet. 🙃 7y

tomes4gnomes I‘m doing #pop18 for my first large reading challenge and I‘m really enjoying the GR group. Dive in! 7y

CatLass007 @tomes4gnomes Thanks! I just printed the prompts and already have started my list. 7y

Sugar Pop Moon: A Jersey Leo Novel | John Florio

I‘m not usually one for challenges, but I had so much fun planning for #booked2018 that I decided to join the 2018 Pop Sugar reading challenge too. I‘ve figured out a good chunk of titles. The ones I‘ve left blank are either because it‘s so easy I‘m not going to plan it (published in 2018, true crime, etc.) or so hard that I‘m holding off until I have more ideas. Who else is doing this challenge, #pop18 #popsugar2018

Reviewsbylola CoD under antihero stands for Confederacy of Dunces. @emilyhaldi is currently in the planning stages of a readalong in February if anyone else wants to read it with us. ( @Cinfhen !!!!!!) (edited) 7y

RiotMom Man, I‘ve never read Bonfire of the Vanities but I loved the movie. Maybe it‘s time to pick that up! 7y

LeahBergen I‘m in for a CoD readalong! 👍🏻 7y

Bloomingjen I am doing it. I don't have many books picked out yet. I need to check out #booked2018 7y

Birdsong28 I'm doing it too!!!! Can't do the last point as this is my first year of doing the pop sugar one. Not going to pick out certain books just gonna see what I feel like reading that fits the criteria. 📚📖 7y

sammisho I am a year behind in the popsugar challenges. So I will be doing 2017's next year! 7y

[DELETED] 3803335244 I love reading challenges & I have done 1 every year. Only completed it once though. It was through Modern Mrs. Darcy‘s website. But now she charges money to be part of the challenge & discussions so I just said forget it. So I‘ll definitely do this one! 7y

Amanda.T I‘m doing this one too. I attempted this year‘s, but didn‘t plan anything out ahead of time. Correcting that for 2018! 7y

BarbaraTheBibliophage I‘m in for a CoD readalong also! I‘m doing #booked2018 (of course) and the 2018 Popsugar challenge. I have most of my books picked but I never stick to plans. @Bloomingjen You should definitely join us for #booked2018! (edited) 7y

alisiakae Yay, another #pop18 participant! I‘ve done this challenge for 2 years, and never finish all the prompts, but still enjoy the process! 😃 7y

Cinfhen I‘m all over #pop18 but I‘m not planning my books to much in advance...I‘m just a maverick😉and yes!!!! Of course I‘m in for COD @emilyhaldi just hope I have better luck with this one then I Did was GWTW & #LoneDove 🙄 7y

Reviewsbylola I love the planning process the most! @Cinfhen I‘m pretty sure you‘ll hate CoD but I hope I‘m wrong! 🤞🏻 7y
