Bk1 of #EasterOMC & #AwesomeApril #readathon is done! Wow. One of the best SciFi books I‘ve read in a long time, and I‘ve read some brilliant one lately. I love a novel with intricate world-building & this has some of the best I‘ve read. Then she peoples it with the best characters I‘ve met. Total win-win for me👍 #BookspinBingo #Doublespin bk of April #Booked2023 #WithATransorNonBinaryPerson #FourFoursIn23 #RomanceExpanse #NoShameReadathon

Clwojick Woohoo! Way to go! 2y
Nessavamusic This one intrigued me, officially adding to the tbr! 2y

Lauredhel Ooh, stacked 2y
Andrew65 That was quick, well done 👏👏👏 2y
Lizpixie @Nessavamusic @Lauredhel I highly recommend it. It‘s my first 5⭐️read of the year and honestly, will probably move onto my Top 20 SciFi list. I really hope she writes more set in this world🤞 2y
Lizpixie @Andrew65 I thought it took way longer than I would‘ve a year ago! I‘m still struggling with brain fog and it sucks🫥 2y
Andrew65 @Lizpixie Sorry to hear that but pleased to hear you are persevering. 2y
TheAromaofBooks Sounds intriguing!! 2y

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 🤪

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

Bk21 of December & #WinterGames2021 & Bk1 of #NewYearSpecial #20in4 #readathon is done. A cute little romcom with some witchy woman thrown in, I was surprised how much I enjoyed it. Reminds me a lot of Jenny Colgan with a touch of magic. Hope there‘s a bk2! #AVeryMerryBingo #TisTheReadson #AVeryMerryReadathon #WinterCosy #WrapItUpReadathon #DecembersBookBingo #StandaloneDecember #FairyTaleathonBingo #SeasonsOfReading #MistletoeManiacs #1,816pts👇

TheAromaofBooks This was one that as I was reading it I kept thinking “I really shouldn't be enjoying this because it's doing all these things that usually annoy me“... but for some reason it was just so fun that I just totally rolled with it! 3y
Lizpixie @TheAromaofBooks have you read any of Colgan‘s books? If you liked this you‘ll probably like hers👍 3y
TheAromaofBooks I actually don't think I have, although I have seen her name around. Do you have a favorite? 3y
Lizpixie @TheAromaofBooks I loved her Bookshop On The Corner & her Beach Street Bakery series. 3y
TheAromaofBooks oooo thank you! 3y

Bk10 of December & #WinterGames2021 is done! I love Jenny Colgan‘s books. I‘m not a romcom/chicklit reader at all but her books always make me smile. Plus I love the setting, Scotland is top of my travel wishlist, and this book makes Edinburgh sound so magical. And there‘s a bookshop!🙌 #AVeryMerryBingo #HemisphereGames #MerryBookmas #TisTheReadson #AVeryMerryReadathon #WinterCosy #WrapItUpReadathon #Adventathon #MistletoeManiacs 5,326pts👇
