Cassandrah’s comments from the PopSugar Reading Challenge 2020 group.

I read ‘Flame in the Mist’ by Reneé Adhieh which is based in a future Japan. So good!

I used ‘Fate’ by Helen Hardt

I also read ‘The Diviner’s’ by Libba Bray!

Omg who else missed this week?!!

For the week of Aug 16-22.

Banned Books week this year is September 27-October 3 :)

Just a technicality?"

I would think if you start/finish/make really good progress on a book this week it should be counted! Or make sure the book is a bit smaller?

This week I finished 3 books!

I finally finished 'Crown of Midnight' by Sarah J Maas, which I used for my book with a 3 word title.

I also read 'Heir of Fire' by Sarah J Maas, which I used for my buildings roman book.

Lastly I read 'Undercover Bromance' by Lyssa Kay Adams for my book with a book on the cover.

No books read this week.

No books read this week.

This week I read 'The Tattooist of Auschwitz' by Heather Morris. This is my book club's August pick, and I'd wanted to read it so I started ASAP. I honestly really enjoyed this book and highly recommend.

No books read this week! Hard to when I'm in town with my family!

Another good week! I finished 3 more books.

I read 'Mirage' by Somaiya Daud, which is about a girl who is taken to the royal family to be the double of the princess. Why does the princess need a double? She is hated by the people and can't go out in public for fear they will try to kill her. So they find someone who is identical to her and use her instead. But can she keep up the rouse?

Next was 'Among the Beasts and Briars' by Ashley Poston. I absolutely loved this book! Cerys has the magical ability to grow plants, but only because of a curse she received when she went into the forest one day. And since she came back there's also been this annoying fox running around. But when disaster strikes at her best friend's (the princess) coronation, it is up to her to save the kingdom. Can she travel through the forest and complete her mission?

Last I read 'Part of Your Nightmare' by Vera Strange. This is about what happens when Shelley makes a deal with Ursula, and how there aren't always happy endings.

I read 3 books this week! Still behind on my challenge, but it's an accomplishment!

First was 'Legacy' by Helen Hardt. I got an ARC kindle e-book and had to finish it so that I could review it! So good, and if you haven't read the Steel Brothers Saga yet I highly recommend!

Next I read 'American Royals' by Katharine McGee. This was such a good book. It is about if George Washington became the first monarch instead of a president. How would America be different if it were a monarchy instead of a democracy? What's going on with the Royal family now? 2nd book comes out in a couple months!

Last I read 'You Deserve Each Other' by Sarah Hogle. This was such a fun romantic book that I could not put it down. It follows Naomi and Nicholas as they are 3 months out from the wedding. And Naomi doesn't know why they are even getting married at this point. But if she backs out she has to pay, so who will call it quits first? And how do you make the other call it quits?
So much fun to read and I highly recommend! Also the cover is pink!

I had my best friend surprise me for my birthday, and then i was traveling to see family, so I did not get any books finished this week.

Finally finished a book I had started in March. This book was 'The Girl Who was On Fire' by Leah Wilson. This is an anthology of The Hunger Games. It was a good read, however very long and didn't always keep my interest. Fulfilled my anthology category, however.

Still have not finished a book.

I did not get any reading done unfortunately.

For this week I finally finished a few books I had been reading!

First was 'Throne of Glass' by Sarah J Maas. I have a friend re-reading this series as well so I started so we could talk about it! I love this series, and honestly this author is my favorite author of all time.

Next I finished 'Disney After Dark' by Ridley Pearson. I started this as a virtual read aloud for my students, then finished it myself as I couldn't keep up with it with everything going on! I really enjoyed this dark twisted version of the disney parks and can't wait to keep reading!

Last I finished 'The Wishing Spell' by Chris Colfer which is the Land of Stories book 1, and I highly recommend this book too! It is a middle grade, so I typically do this as a read aloud to my students every year, and we've gotten through to book 5 of 6. They love the series too.

Surprisingly I'm 3 books ahead! I haven't been reading much as I've been busy with orders for my Etsy shop, but have started reading again and listening to audiobooks while I work!
I've also just taken the time to go through all the books I've read and finding if/where they fit into categories I have left to read!
