Popsugar #14 – A book by an author with flora or fauna in their name

What’s in a name? that which we call a roseBy any other name would smell as sweet; Names… A name can be derived from an old meaning and have been around forever, or it could be inspired by the world around us. Some names have dual meanings, like my name. Charlotte is an old nameContinue reading “Popsugar #14 – A book by an author with flora or fauna in their name”

Popsugar #13 – A book with the same title as a movie or TV show but is unrelated to it

This is a bit of a tough prompt, if you don’t know of something off the top of your head, because it means you have to search books and tv/movies. Searching imdb.com might help but it still means searching a couple of databases to see if things exist. I was originally going to read HeartlessContinue reading “Popsugar #13 – A book with the same title as a movie or TV show but is unrelated to it”

Popsugar #12 – A book that passes the Bechdel test

The Bechdel test is a measure of the representation of women. In a movie or a book are there at least two women featured who talk to each other about something other than a man? Sometimes the requirement that the two women must be named is added. I feel like there are more and moreContinue reading “Popsugar #12 – A book that passes the Bechdel test”

Popsugar #11 – An Anthology

I don’t read many anthologies. I’m not sure why… I think it’s because I like longer stories. The slow build to the climax and then the resolution drawn out over the length of 300-500 pages. That’s what I like. The anthologies that I’ve read have usually been because of a various challenge or a veryContinue reading “Popsugar #11 – An Anthology”

Popsugar #10 – A book recommended by your favorite blog, vlog, podcast or online book club

Am I your favorite book blog yet?? If I am, then anything that I recommend could be used! Easy, right?!? Until I started my blogging/content creation adventure, I never realized how many book blogs and vlogs there are out there. I think it’s great! So many people coming together and writing or talking about soContinue reading “Popsugar #10 – A book recommended by your favorite blog, vlog, podcast or online book club”

Popsugar #9 – A book with a map

There are many, many choices for this one, across genres too. A lot of authors make the choice to include a map to make it easier on the reader to follow along with where places are in relation to each other. I just finished Percy Jackson #4, The Battle of the Labyrinth, and am readingContinue reading “Popsugar #9 – A book with a map”

Popsugar #8 – A book with an upside down image on the cover

I haven’t read for this one yet. I was originally planning on reading The Outsider by Stephen King, but it’s over 500 pages and I’m competing against my husband right now… so I need short or fast reads!! During the lockdown, Colleen Hoover offered a handful of her books, in ebook format, for free, andContinue reading “Popsugar #8 – A book with an upside down image on the cover”

Popsugar #7 – The first book you touch on a shelf with your eyes closed

First, I can’t believe it’s been over a month since the last post that I wrote on the Popsugar reading challenge prompts… it seriously seems like just yesterday. Maybe it is fate to write this one, the 7th prompt, on the 7th day of the month… This is entirely a personal prompt and I’ve readContinue reading “Popsugar #7 – The first book you touch on a shelf with your eyes closed”

Erotic Stories for Punjabi Women – Book Review – No Spoilers

I picked this book because it is supposed to fit Popsugar challenge prompt #4, a book about a bookclub. Now that I’ve read it, for me, it doesn’t fit but I’m super picky. As I mentioned in one of my posts about prompts, you choose the rules. You choose what fits and what doesn’t. It’sContinue reading “Erotic Stories for Punjabi Women – Book Review – No Spoilers”
