139735 Watching the answer for that ^ since the trope I have now has two prompts I don't have anything for, because I just don't read those kind of books.
139735 I stretched prompts this month. Next month will be worse lol. I have a couple nonfiction that I want to get through. Maybe I'll grab some more biographies, but they have to fit the prompts, and therein lies the problem...
139735 Yeah, I gave up on Fantasy too. I got a couple I think, but what I read in Fantasy didn't fit... So I just did what I could with it. Next month in that challenge is nonfiction, and I feel like I can't catch a break lol. And the prompts are hard... I have a short vacation next month, so we'll see how that goes lol.
139735 Yeah, I feel like we were at April 10 and the month was lasting forever. And suddenly it's over lol. I've finally got a mystery that's got an MPG; this is what I get for liking obscure books lol...

139735 I'm with you, Char. Nonfiction and I are not friends; I'm planning to use that for the quarterly challenge lol, since I read most fiction genres at a higher rate, although I might be able to lean into the sci-fi genre a bit, since I don't read too much there, but it's still more than nonfiction. I do have a biography I want to read though, and I think my book club book might be considered narrative nonfiction. I usually read like four nonfiction a year, and I've already read at least three. I always procrastinate them too, because I just don't enjoy them. I'm hoping there are either short books or fiction books that fit the tasks.

139735 Book: Animal Farm
Task: that will stick with you for a while
How it fits: this was a reread from years ago, and it was still sticking with me from way back then
139735 Lol, I just realized that next I'm reading Animal Farm. By George Orwell. With an O... Oh well, it's a much smaller book, so using M was more points... eye roll...
139735 Oh my gosh, you're amazing!!! Thanks!!!
I switched the lines around on the sheet.

139735 Hi Anna, sounds amazing!! I've seen the Grand Canyon, but not Red Rocks.
No worries on the books. I almost never read on vacation, unless it's visiting family and I know there will be downtime because it's chill. But that's rare for me. I'm feeling the pressure of books needing to get read for various reasons too, but I also have so much stuff planned this weekend lol. So we'll see how everything goes...

139735 Oof, more hard tasks... Hopefully I'll continue stumbling into books that can work...
