Sandra’s comments from the Ultimate Popsugar Reading Challenge group.

I read 11.22.63 for this prompt and I highly recommend it!

A book written by a social media influencer

This week I listened to the audiobook of They Both Die at the End. It's a perfect fit for this prompt!

I finally finished a book this week!! woohoo!
I finished A Dance with Dragons, which took me almost 2 years to read! I'm using it for prompt 26 - A book with an animal in the title.

As I'm typing this post, I just finished my first ever audiobook! It was a different experience. The audiobook was They Both Die at the End and I'm using it for prompt 10 - A book about death or grief.

I also started 2 books this week:
- The Death and Life of Charlie St. Cloud, which I'm using for prompt 1 - A book made into a movie you've already seen. I was thinking about using it for the death prompt, but decided to go with this one instead.
- Fatal Legacies, which I'm using for prompt 34 - A book that's published in 2018.

QotW:
I use Goodreads, Book Riot, and some Booktubers!

Before I Fall deals with death, so it's good for that prompt!

If you don't like the cover, it can fit the ugly cover prompt!

I read A Dance with Dragons for this prompt.

Hello!
I'm still making progress with the books I was reading last week.
I read about 120 pages of 11.22.63, which will be used for the time travel prompt, and 5% of A Dance with Dragons which will be used for the animal prompt.

QotW:
My personal goal for the Goodreads challenge is to read 20 books this year, other than graphic novels.

Thanks for the idea!! It definitely fits xD

It’s been on my kindle forever, so I’m happy to be motivated to read it!"

I've read it a couple of years ago and really enjoyed it! It's a perfect fit for this prompt.

I just found out that Dead and Gone was a bestseller in 2009, which is perfect because I have read all the 8 books before but haven't started that one!

Hello everyone! This is my first year doing the challenge and I'm really excited. I have a busy life and I know that it will be almost impossible to finish the challenge, but I will try anyway!
I didn't finish any books last week, but I made some progress on 2 books that I've been reading since 2016 (oops).
I read around 100 pages of 11.22.63 and around 5% of A Dance with Dragons.
I will be using 11.22.63 for prompt #23 - A book about time travel and A Dance with Dragons for prompt #26 - A book with an animal in the title.
I guess this answers the QotW - those are the 2 prompts I'm tackling first :)

Thanks for the input! :)

I saw someone reading Wizard's First Rule. I have read the first 8 books in the series... would it be cheating for me to read the 9th book for the challenge?

For those who like the TV show Arrow and comic books, I think Arrow: The Dark Archer is a good fit for this prompt :)

Thanks for the Batman suggestion! I was really struggling to find something for this prompt :)

Some 2018 books that I'm looking forward to:
Batman: Nightwalker
Time Bomb
Runaways Vol. 1
Chasing Captain America: How Advances in Science, Engineering, and Biotechnology Will Produce a Superhuman

I'm from Portugal, and I plan on reading a book by a Portuguese author. I've been wanting to read Codex 632 for a while so that's probably what I will choose.

I have a looooot of books that could fit into this prompt, but I will probably read Harry Potter: A History of Magic

I have chosen the following 3 prompts:
2015 - A graphic novel
2016 - A YA bestseller
2017 - A book you bought on a trip

For 2015, I will probably read Road to Riverdale.
For 2016, I still haven't chosen a book but I know it will be an easy one!
For 2017, I have a lot of options as I love buying books whenever I travel. Some of my options are:
Alex and Eliza
Carry On
The DUFF: Designated Ugly Fat Friend
Geekerella

I will probably read The Last Star, the third book in the 5th Wave trilogy.
