#popsugarreadingchallenge

In relation to my 2023 Popsugar Reading Challenge, I finished two books for January:

A book you meant to read in 2022: Breasts and Eggs - Mieko Kawakami; and

A book you bought from an independent bookstore: The Cinderella Murder - Mary Higgins Clark and Alafair Burke

So for February, I'll be finishing two more books for the following categories:

A book by a first-time author: The Silent Patient

Hopefully the fact that I started Legends & Lattes by Travis Baldree today and and 75% finished with the book bodes well for the rest of my January 2023 TBR.

In addition to Legends & Lattes, I plan on reading:

What Moves the Dead, T. Kingfisher

How To Sell A Haunted House, Grady Hendrix (release date 1/17)

My Heart is a Chainsaw, Stephen Graham Jones (reread in anticipation of Don’t Fear the Reaper)

Certain Dark Things, Silvia Moreno-Garcia

2021 Reading Challenge | A book that has won the Women’s Prize For Fiction

12/40. La canzone di Achille - Madeline Miller

Achille mi stava guardando, gli occhi profondi come la terra. «Verrai con me?» chiese. Il tormento infinito dell'amore e del dolore. Forse in un'altra vita, avrei potuto rifiutare, avrei urlato strappandomi i capelli, lo avrei lasciato solo ad affrontare la sua scelta. Ma non in questa. In questa sarei salpato per Troia e lo avrei seguito, persino nella morte. «Sì» sussurrai. «Sì.» — Patroclo

He was watching me, his eyes as deep as earth. “Will you come with me?” he asked. The never-ending ache of love and sorrow. Perhaps in some other life I could have refused, could have torn my hair and screamed, and made him face his choice alone. But not in this one. He would sail to Troy and I would follow, even into death. “Yes,” I whispered. “Yes.” — Patroclus [The Song of Achilles - M. Miller]

Era uma vez o ano de 2019, que passou voando!!! Então antes que 2020 me pegue desprevenida, já estou planejando o que fazer para o blog...

Primeiramente, vamos continuar com o projeto “Lendo o mundo”, que já está no décimo país!!!! Não publiquei aqui os vídeos, mas este ano, colocarei o link para todos eles.

E além dele, tenho mais dois projetos literários para 2020:

O primeiro é o desafio de leitura do PopSugar (https://www.popsugar.com/entertainment/reading-challenge-2020-46857621 em inglês), que é um desafio que eu já tentei realizar outros anos, mas ainda não completei nenhum! Mas estou animada pra tentar mais um ano! Rsrsrs

E o segundo é um desafio antigo do blog Books and Cupcakes, que é um photo challenge, onde você deve colocar uma foto por dia relacionada a livros de acordo com uma lista. Como eu já disse, é um desafio antigo, talvez de 2016, mas eu achei legal e resolvi fazer esse ano mesmo!!!!! :)

15. A book with a question in the title

16. Your favourite prompt from a past POPSUGAR Reading Challenge (A book published in 2018)
