No idea. I despise vampires overall... :)
But I certainly recognize the ineptitude and incompetency of many recently proposed political appointees... :(
A Book That Reminds You of Your ChildhoodI can't think of a book in a family and setting resembling that of my own childhood, so perhaps just simply selecting a book I did read and enjoy as a child, or one that had been published prior to my birth that I believe I would have enjoyed reading...
Emily of New Moon by L.M. Montgomery
Anne of Green Gables by L.M. Montgomery
The Black Stallion by Walter Farley
The Rescuers by Margery Sharp
I would have loved reading all the books in these series!!
I did adore anything Dr. Seuss wrote! Those had been published rather recently during my childhood!
How about you? What book(s) remind you of your childhood?
This is obviously a personal/individual selection, so there is no Listopia!
A Book About a Food TruckTo say this is an 'obscure' prompt is a vast understatement, IMO! I assume there is at least one book published whose subject matter is a food truck...and I trust it is available to read! 😊
Imagine my surprise when I discovered a Goodreads Listopia entitled "Food Truck Books"! Surprise and a huge sigh of relief! LOL
I guess I'll give Death on Eat Street (Biscuit Bowl Food Truck Mystery #1) by J.J. Cook a try!!
How about you?
Listopia is HERE
A Book That Features an Unlikely FriendshipI love these kinds of books! Some I can heartily recommend:
To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee
Stargirl (Stargirl #1) by Jerry Spinelli
Remarkably Bright Creatures by Shelby Van Pelt
The Story of Arthur Truluv (Mason #1) by Elizabeth Berg
A Man Called Ove by Fredrik Backman
Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir
The Elegance of the Hedgehog by Muriel Barbery
Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine by Gail Honeyman
The Shape of Water by Guillermo del Toro

Erica wrote: "I guess I have to finish PS24 quickly now. ;) I’ve got two prompts left so it’s not a worry. It’s nice that they collected feedback from our group."You and me both on finishing the current challenge! And I can't imagine that soliciting feedback doesn't help to make their job a bit easier! I think that is very smart of them!
A Book Set at a Luxury Resort I feel certain I have read more than one book that fulfills this prompt, but the only one I can currently remember is The Unhoneymooners by Christina Lauren! I did really enjoy it!
Oh, and The Guest List by Lucy Foley!
And A Gentleman in Moscow by Amor Towles!
So I've read at least 3! 😁

Wow! December 2nd! I am pumped to see what they come up with! In the meantime, I’m doing my best to read as much as possible throughout the end of this year! With a concentration on those last 12 Popsugar prompts!I am determined to recover from being shocked and appalled and have been slowly regaining my desire to immerse myself in reading. That is all to the good! I’m learning to live with fear. I’m not sure that is a good thing, because I do realize it stresses my body and brain, but I must recover at a manageable pace… In the meantime, most everyone I know very well is in the same spot, so we are all supporting each other. That’s the only way I’ll get through this, I guess. I learned a new word yesterday: kakistocracy.
If not for the reading challenges I am doing, I would just binge-read the Wrexford & Sloane series right now. But I’ll save it…gotta concentrate on Popsugar! 😊
ADMIN STUFF:
THE NOVEMBER MONTHLY GROUP READ IS One Last Stop by Casey McQuiston
This book could be used to fulfill Prompt #39 A fiction book written by a trans or nonbinary author
THE DECEMBER MONTHLY GROUP READ IS The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde!
This book could be used to fulfill Prompt #36 A Book Written By an Incarcerated Or Formerly Incarcerated Person
National Mudd Day is December 20! What is National Mudd Day, you may ask? It references a fascinating bit of history I doubt many of us know. Dr. Samuel Mudd was a doctor who helped John Wilkes Booth and his co-conspirator David Herold immediately following Lincoln’s assassination on the night of April 14, 1865. Mudd performed surgery on Booth and allowed them to spend the night. He didn’t report the men’s visit for another 24 hours, though it was assumed he would have heard of the assassination well before that time. Mudd was arrested 12 days later and eventually convicted to a life sentence by a military commission for the crime of aiding and conspiring in a murder, missing the death penalty by only one vote!
I know virtually nothing about this book, so I will probably join in the monthly read discussion! Dubhease is the "End-of-Year Innovator" who has graciously volunteered to lead this discussion! YAY Dubhease! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 And I had no idea that this book can be classified as "horror" to some degree. I already have a copy, so I'll definitely at least start reading it. I just hope I won't have to DNF it!
The comprehensive listing of 2024 Monthly Group Reads resides HERE for your perusal and reference throughout 2024!

QUESTION OF THE WEEK:
Is there a genre that you avoid reading? Why?
YES! HORROR! I failed to notice that many Goodreads members have classified The Portrait of Dorian Gray as “horror” before buying a copy to read for our December monthly group read! So I am extremely grateful to Dubhease for volunteering to lead that discussion! If I find it to “horror-y” for me, I can DNF without worrying about the discussion! Thank you, Dubhease!! 😊 I think my natural reaction of nightmares and visions I cannot forget stems from the fact that my brain automatically creates pictures/images as I read. Perhaps if that didn’t happen I wouldn’t have such drastically negative reactions to horror!
I also try to make sure a romance book isn’t too “open door” for my liking. My imagination is perfectly capable of providing ‘romantic details’! LOL But at least I do have some romance authors I enjoy reading now, after decades of totally avoiding the genre! That is mainly due to this group and other challenges in which I have participated over the years! Yay me! 👏👏👏👏

Read Harder: 17/24
52 Book Club: 46/52
FINISHED:
*The Annual Migration of Clouds (Annual Migration of Clouds #1) by Premee Mohamed ⭐⭐⭐⭐ for an IRL book club meeting this Tuesday. This was good at prompting discussion, but I admit I really wasn’t in the mood and I found the last 30 pages or so to be depressing… I would like to read the second installment simply because it will be short and I am curious about Reid’s story, but I won’t purchase it. Warning: If you dislike books that leave you with many questions, you probably will not appreciate this one. Most of us thought it was good for tempting the reader to keep reading the series because you really want to know! 😉

52 Book Club: #6, #9, #14, #24, #26-fiction, science fiction, dystopia, #30, #43
*Murder at King’s Crossing (Wrexford & Sloane #8) by Andrea Penrose ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ is yet another totally enjoyable to me installment in this series! I love the characters, the bit of scientific history, and the plot twists and turns always included. But most enjoyable are those bits of humor sprinkled throughout! I have owned this book since it’s release in September, but had not yet read it. I will be rereading the first installment for an upcoming book club meeting, so wanted to read this first so I won’t confuse parts of this book with the first one for book club discussion! (I must be strategic now that I am older! LOL) 😁

Some great suggestions as well as comments for prompts that some readers would prefer not to be repeated HERE in our Week 45 Weekly Check-In thread! Nadine very helpfully asked everyone for suggestions for the 2025 Challenge as her "Question of the Week"! Hope this helps!
Jennifer W wrote: "Hi all. Another grumpy New Yorker here. I'm also going to contain myself, but I am ENRAGED. Last time, I was sad and scared, this time, I am ANGRY. I'm giving myself today to sulk and feel the feelings, and then I am turning it into ACTION. Joining groups that will speak up, finding marches, whatever I can do. Also, if you are scared, sad, angry or whatever, I'm here for you. Drop me a line if you need."Good for you! I don't have that kind of freedom right now, but will be with others who are out there in spirit at least! It is important to protest as much as possible and attempt to apply public pressure, especially in these beginning stages to (hopefully) restrict the offenses to our democracy and help protect all people.
"In normal news, tomorrow is my boyfriend's birthday! We're going car shopping for him! He's already sick of the process, so I think we'll buy whatever we find! lol"
That does seem so "normal"!
"I read very little this week. I started Pointe that I will use for a female athlete, as the MC is a ballerina. Her male best friend was kidnapped years ago and suddenly returns. She knows more than she's telling. I found it on a list of books by African American authors that you must read. It was listed along with Maya Angelou, James Baldwin, etc. I don't think it's up there, but so far, it is entertaining."
Huh. Interesting to see what you think of this one!
"QOTW: I can't think of a specific prompt I want. I'd like some challenging, but not 'pull your hair out trying to think of things you actually want to read' prompts. lol Maybe they'll comb through some of the ATY rejects, cause there were a lot of good choices over there that didn't make it.."
Duh! Yes!
Nadine in NY wrote: "Happy Thursday! Not that I'm feeling very happy right now. I don't understand my country. I am DISGUSTED with the direction of US politics. [Insert rage here - I had a whole juicy rant typed out but I figured starting off with rage is not great and I deleted it.]"I am anxious for a final vote count so I know exactly how many uninformed easily manipulated voters to hold accountable!
This is a good time to pull out one of those comfort reads we had been talking about.
DEFINITELY! I am finding One Last Stop to be a good one to distract me...
"I JUST started a cozy fantasy that is so sweet and cute that I have to recommend it here: The Teller of Small Fortunes. I just got it from NetGalley, but the publication date was Nov 5, so you all can read it now too. I don't usually like cozy fantasy because they often have no plot and no plot tension, but this one has a plot! It's giving "Princess Bride as written by Nghi Vo" vibes because a misfit group of travellers is forming, and they are going to search for the one man's missing daughter. One of the travellers is a fortune teller, of course (and she has a cute mule too!) and I assume she will be key in finding the daughter."
Ooohhh...added that to my TBR listing! Sounds like an excellent escape from reality!
"*** FRIDAY UPDATE: Popsugar is soliciting ideas from us for the 2025 list right here:
https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/..."
I think this is so very smart! And we have listed so many amazing suggestions already!! Whoo! Whoo! SUGGESTIONS ARE TO BE SUBMITTED BY MONDAY, NOVEMBER 11! (Though perhaps that is just a "suggested" cutoff?)
"*** SECOND FRIDAY UPDATE: New list will drop Monday, Dec 2nd!!"
When do you want to begin creating placeholders for the prompts, Nadine? Honestly, I still have 12 books remaining to finish this year's challenge and I have no idea if I will get those read by year's end, but it's okay. I'm being very gentle with myself right now...
"The Favorites by Layne Fargo - YOU GUYS!!! This was a NetGalley book, it comes out in January, I encourage you all to read it if you have any interest at all in: Wuthering Heights, retellings of classics, badass women, juicy passionate burn-it-all-down partnerships ... or ice dancing (that was like a hindrance for me, not at all an appeal - but if you love ice dancing or pairs figure skating, there is a LOT of ice skating in this book). Everyone in my real life (which honestly isn't really that many people) is sick of hearing me talk about this "ice dancing retelling of Wuthering Heights." Because I would not shut up. It was SO GOOD. FIVE STARS. All time favorite!! This was one small spark of happiness in my dreary week. I kind of want to just sit down and re-read it, but ... I have so many other books waiting for me, and a lot of them are NG books since I went and requested a bunch more two weeks ago, so I feel the pressure to review them in a timely fashion."
OMG! I adore figure skating and ice dancing! Looks like one I would enjoy!!
"Question of the Week
What category are you hoping to see in the 2025 list?"
So glad they have solicited suggestions!!

Love this! We need it! We need ALL the hope!!! LOL
A book that has won a diversity award in the 21st Century(I have a list of such awards.)
A book involving “human rights” or “civil rights”
A simple definition is that “human rights” are the rights you have simply for being a human being. Comparatively, “civil rights” are contextual, meaning you are entitled to specific civil rights through being a citizen of a particular country, nation, or state. Civil rights are proclaimed by the government for the citizens of that country, while human rights are derived from natural law and are universally protected and applied.
There are Goodreads listopias!
A book released in a year ending with “00” or “25” or “50” or “75”

On January 13, 2025, the 2025 Winter World University Games will be held in Turin, Italy
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2025_Wi...)

Snowy/cold settings
Orienteering (being lost, following directions, etc.)
Climbing mountains
Books with “snow,” “cold,” “ice,” “ski,” “skiing,” “shooting,” “climb,” or “climbing” in the title

A book with a character who is loyal to another character
A book with a character who is “forgiven”
A book with a character who “forgives” someone else
(Any of these listing a "character" could list a "protagonist" instead!)
So many great suggestions thus far!!!
2025 is quite the exception for me. I have nothing but dread in my heart in anticipation of 2025 and the future. I am having difficulty overcoming that dread. Normally, I am never or at least rarely ever “scared,” but I am now petrified and terrified. (Throughout the past 26 years I’ve said that I spent 22 years with my ex-husband so you really have to work at ‘scaring’ me! LOL) Fear and anticipatory grief are currently topmost in my mind. Anger underlies all of that. *sigh* But I am persevering for now and hope to continue improving my attitude! My mind has been so distracted over these past 3+ months that I just haven’t been able to focus to read nearly as much as usual. At first I was scared I would never regain focused concentration enough to read for long periods. But I feel that is returning. Slowly but surely. I’ve allowed myself to just watch humorous shows and/or play games on my phone. Mindless stuff. Perhaps I have completed enough “rehab” of my emotional state to continue on with my normal activities to a much greater degree. I sure hope so… Teaching at the gym has been such a good thing for me right now. So many people I know who are just as upset as I am and we all listen and talk and try to calm each other down. Basically, keeping "community" alive in your life in whatever way you can is one of the basic defenses for now. Developing and participating in community. I must reread Surviving Autocracy by Masha Gessen, with a much more personal attention this time around.

*Little Mercies by Heather Gudenkauf ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ hit rather close to home for me. I have worked as a social worker and can relate so closely with her seeming obsession with her clients. I was the same as Ellen in that I was very conscientious about being ‘on call’ for emergency situations, etc., always working hard to protect and help clients and their families. I can easily imagine her predicament. My advantage is that when I was working in this profession, my children were already grown and out of the house, so I wasn’t juggling my own small children at the same time. This was an excellently written book, IMO. I would recommend it if you are interested. Having met Gudenkauf, I am happy to encourage people to read her books! She is such a sweetie!

1) Have you read Red, White & Royal Blue written by the same author?I did. And I loved it! It was the June 2023 Popsugar Monthly Group Read, for which I reread it. And I might reread it again in the future. It was pure enjoyment for me.
2) What expectations do you have for this book? Anything specific based upon the title or cover image?
I guess the subway plays a large role and I am expecting it to be "romancy"... I suspect there may be one specific subway stop involved.
3) Are you reading this book for the express purpose of fulfilling this specific Popsugar prompt? Or was it already on your TBR listing?
It was on my TBR listing, but didn't intend to necessarily read it now. But I decided to read it for the monthly group read.
Some introductory questions:1) Have you read Red, White & Royal Blue written by the same author?
2) What expectations do you have for this book? Anything specific based upon the title or cover image?
3) Are you reading this book for the express purpose of fulfilling this specific Popsugar prompt? Or was it already on your TBR listing?
