#52Books52Weeks This is in order of the prompts for this challenge. The last two aren‘t pictured as pic collage would only let me have 50 items. 51 is The Corner That Held Them and 52 is beyond that, the sea.

The best part of this challenge for me was fitting books from other challenges, buddy reads or prize lists into the prompts as much as possible. Reviewing my 2023 reading has been a pleasure as it was filled with some outstanding books.

Ruthiella I love it when a book can do double or even triple/quadruple duty for prompts! 😃 4mo

And that‘s a wrap! #52Books52Weeks #SetinAustralia

I wasn‘t aware until I finished that this was the last book in this series. It is a slow burn of a book with a couple of mysteries to figure out one a hit and run and one a disappearance. It felt a little flat to me after loving the first two.

So happy to have finished this challenge!

#52Books52Weeks #AlltiterativeTitle

I quite liked this one, I think because I just went along for the ride without trying to figure anything out or any expectations. One more to go to finish all the prompts.

#52Books52Weeks Book 50 of 52. #NordicNoir

It is a good thing my daughter likes Nordic Noir as I would have had no clue what to read for this prompt. This collection of stories is dark and gritty, full of murder, mayhem, revenge, abuse, etc. Not for the faint of heart.

I wasn‘t sure I‘d be able to finish the challenge but I got my ducks in a row and have my last 2 books ready to go.

LeeRHarry Helsinki ❄️💕 5mo
BarbaraBB 🙌🏽 just two more! 5mo
rmaclean4 This was a prompt I did not even attempt! Good for you. 5mo

#BookReport

#52Books52Weeks #ByaComedian Listening to Leslie Jordan shares his stories was a bit bittersweet since his unexpected passing. And Lady Chatterley‘s Lover #BannedBook was ok, at least I can say I read it 🤷🏻‍♀️

Loved my other 3 books.

The only reason this isn't 5 stars is that some of the chapters are slower than others.

#pop22 #cutleryoncoverorintitle
#52books52weeks #technologythemed (a bit of a stretch but then we never used to use forks, we used bread and knives, so I'd say that was a technological improvement!)

@Cinfhen @alisiakae @KarenUK @Cortg @Megabooks @Laughterhp @squirrelbrain @RaeLovesToRead

Cinfhen Agreed!!! Creative interpretation 👍🏽😁 1y
jenniferw88 Meant to say two things in my review. 1) It would work for #booked2023 about a pandemic, because it was written during lockdown and the author mentions it a few times @Cinfhen @alisiakae @BarbaraTheBibliophage . 2) Quite a few mentions of Jane Austen's novels #PemberLittens @sprainedbrain . 1y
Cortg Nice job! 1y

My Autumn choices for #Booked2023, just the first ideas. The Jim Jones I copied from @jenniferw88 , a good one for #doubledipping with #ReadingTheAmericas2023!

TrishB I‘m screen shooting all of them! 1y
BarbaraBB @TrishB I hope you‘ll share your ideas too, it‘s going to be a difficult one I think! 1y
jenniferw88 A couple of my others #doubledip with #readingtheamericas2023 - will tag you in a comment on my post when I get home with which country. 1y

BarbaraBB @jenniferw88 Thanks, that would be so helpful! 1y
TrishB I will when I have a minutes planning time 😁 1y
Cinfhen Do u think Bolivia could be a sunshine country??? Because I have a book that might work as a #DoubleDip 1y
BarbaraBB @Cinfhen I wouldn‘t automatically think of it as a sunshine country because there are snowy mountains too but the jungle is definitely hot and steamy so I think that makes it work! 1y
Cinfhen I know @BarbaraBB I‘m kind of a stickler for rules, when it comes to my own challenge…and I definitely have other choices….. it would probably work for “twisted” or “stretch” so maybe I can #DoubleDip there!! Plus @jenniferw88 got me sold on the idea of #52Books52Weeks challenge so….I need to see what those prompts will be too 1y
jenniferw88 @Cinfhen oops, sorry! 😂 Barbara does it too so you'll be in good company. I'll start tagging you in my reviews for that challenge too - they sometimes release mini-challenges for the month but I just stick to the main one! 1y
Cinfhen Ok!! Good to know / I can‘t be pressured by mini challenges @jenniferw88 😅 1y
jenniferw88 @Cinfhen I'm the same about mini-challenges! 1y
BarbaraBB @Cinfhen I was lured 😉 into the #52books challenge by @jenniferw88 too and it‘s so fun! You‘ll love it too. The 2023 challenge hasn‘t been released yet, if I‘m right Jenny? 1y
BarbaraBB @jenniferw88 @Cinfhen I also do #ATY2023, its‘s a group op GR and it is a great challenge too. 52 prompts and mostly good ones. I can highly recommend it. 1y
jenniferw88 @BarbaraBB yes, you're right, but it will be some time in November. Will tag you both when it does! @Cinfhen 1y
BarbaraBB @jenniferw88 Thanks! Can‘t wait! 1y
jenniferw88 Ooh, thanks! Just joined. 1y
Cinfhen It‘s a GREAT LIST but I‘m gonna pass / too many books I‘d need to buy 1y
BarbaraBB @jenniferw88 @Cinfhen My resolution is to join them but not feel obliged to finish all of them. I hope to see them as guidance instead of obligation 😂 1y
Cinfhen That sounds like a great way to embrace all challenges 🥰😄 1y
