Stephanie’s comments from the Pop Sugar's Annual Ultimate Reading Challenge group.

bahahaa, i'd wait to read the last page in 2016 xD

and it's only 41 books!

edit: idk, i might only take the unique topics and do it for summer or something.

i just added you to the end - feel free to add all your books now!

i would! i'd also like to try to read another play (i'm really bummed i went for a shakespeare re-read this time). i also might be interested in more award winning books.

but i'm definitely not doing anything major commitment like this again, phew.

dude. i strategized hard for this so i am not in the "looking for shorter books is lame" camp hehe. but i understand. it would've been nice to do one completely fulfilling book for every category but. life. (and other books.)

good on the people in this thread that want to do it that way.

and yay for you finding other authors and determining what to do next! this challenge kind of did that for me too :)

nice! you can do it! here are some shorter books with love triangles if that helps (City of Bones is right under 500 pages):

The Sin Eater's Daughter
Unspoken - the protag is at least delightful in this one
Everneath
Something Strange and Deadly

these are all about middle of the road in terms of impressiveness but they're mildly entertaining, shorter, and have love triangles :P

dang, that group sounds hardcore. glad you found us, Chris! welcome :D

a thread in this group? what's it called? i didn't find it.

i'd say go ahead, especially if you are still interested in completing everything!

yeah, same as Nicole. I did a book about gods and goddesses. like, it was at least from the perspective of a goddess.

does Phantom of the Opera count as a Classic Romance?

nice choice! that's what i read too. sorry about nightmares though :| *shudder*

i'm reading Gregor the Overlander (Suzanne Collins undeniable first book). everything feels more right once i decided that.

and yeah, i had to review my list and found a lot of books that i knew i was cheating on. Snow Child wasn't a Pulitzer Prize //winner//, another book i read wasn't actually set in my hometown, and the book i read as a banned book actually has a really vague banned status. blah. but at least my list looks more honest per my standards now. phew.

does Lemony Snicket count as a popular author?

the topic is just "book that scares you" so i think non-fiction should totally count. those are the most scary 0n0

no, it doesn't :( but it's a great book! enjoy :D

yeah, i can get access to Houston's digital library but i wasn't too successful with it.

i don't do ILL because here they weirdly charge for shipping and that annoys me on principle. i guess if it's the cheapest way to get an interesting play, i could look into it.

i own a lot of Shakespeare myself and it seems incredibly easy to find copies of The Crucible, but i want to read something "different" like Our Town or Twelve Angry Men.

unfortunately, i honestly can't find anything like that (even at my dumb small town library) unless i want to pay $12 at Barnes and Noble.

how have you guys been managing this? just reading a play you can get a hold of or purchasing something or is there some online mecca where i can find copies of plays for less than $5?

just to kind of throw something out there, i was talking to my friend about plays and she said i could do Romeo and Juliet and count it as my classic romance as well.

so...you could do a play? Taming of the Shrew or A Midsummer Night's Dream. Tristan and Isolde?

for the most part, pick a book that is known for being a tearjerker :)

but for this i also just picked a book i read this year that happened to make me cry. my initial plan was to read The Book Thief.
