Cassandrah’s Comments (group member since Jan 02, 2019)

Cassandrah’s comments from the Popsugar Reading Challenge 2019 group.

I read 'When will this cruel war be over', which is a Dear America book about the civil war. I used to read these all the time in middle school, so it was fun to revisit!

I read 'That Summer' by Sarah Dessen for this section. It was a pretty good (and fast) read!

I read 'Twilight' by Erin Hunter, part of the Warriors: The New Prophecy series, and will read 'Twilight' by Stephenie Meyer for the other title.

For the week of Oct. 27-Nov. 2.

Another good week!
I read 'Five Feet Apart' by Rachael Lippincott, which was also my book becoming a movie in 2019! This was a good, quick read for me, and I also posted about it on my bookstagram page (@dystopiannovelsfanatic) and the author commented! Eek! Always love when that happens!

I also read 'Red, White, and Royal Blue' by Casey McQuiston, which was AMAZING! I could not read fast enough!! When the FSOTUS and a Prince of England's status as enemies surfaces, they must act like they've always been best friends to the press. But will all these meet ups and texting lead to something more?
I highly recommend this one!

And lastly I read 'Saving Zoe' by Alyson Noel. This book was also really good, it was a quick read for me as well. The only thing about this book is on the back it says that she lost her sister by a brutal murder, and we never truly know what happened. We're told a couple things, but nothing that really helps us understand what happened. Or how she was found.

Hopefully this next week will be just as good!

For this one I read 'Five Feet Apart' by Rachael Lippincott. As Christi mentioned, it is similar to 'Fault in Our Stars'.
I thought this was much better than FiOS though! The main character, Stella, is, as she puts it, neurotic in following her regimen of her care. Always taking her pills and treatments on time to follow CF (cystic fibrosis). She also has a YouTube channel that keeps people informed on CF and helps other CFers with keeping upbeat and positive. In comes Will, who does not do his treatments like he is supposed to, until Stella gets involved and makes him. And through Will, Stella becomes more relaxed and doesn't want CF to take anything more from her.

For the week of Oct. 20-26.

This week I did much better! I finished 'Kingdom of Ash' by Sarah J. Maas, finally! This book is huge. I read it last year the first time in a week, but this time it took me much longer. It's honestly one of my favorite books, the author is amazing. She is such a good writer, I mean I end up crying through most of this book (both happy and sad tears).

I also finished 'Clockwork Princess' by Cassandra Clare, which is also the end of the infernal devices. This book was also probably my favorite of this trilogy, as I was not very into the first two, but this one relates more to the Mortal Instrument series so it was more interesting and intriguing to me.

I was not able to finish any books this week! I really need to step it up!

For the week of Oct. 13-19.

For the week of Oct. 6-12.

I read 'Fantastic Beasts: Crimes of Grindelwald' by J.K. Rowling. Again, it was a good book but I'm not a huge fan of screenplays.

Made some progress on other books, but I bought a house and started moving in, so wasn't able to read much either!

Does it include the tale of Aladdin at all??

That is awesome!

For the week of Sept. 29- Oct. 5.

Finally had a good week!

I read 'That Summer' by Sarah Dessen, which fulfilled my book that happens in the season you are reading it (coming in hot with the last official day of summer!), which was about Haven having an awful summer, with two weddings she was dreading and remembering the one perfect summer she had. I thought it was pretty good for a contemporary novel!

I read 'Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them' by J. K. Rowling, which was pretty good, but I'm not a huge fan of reading screen plays. This fulfilled my book with a mythical or imaginary creature.

I read 'The Perks of Being a Wallflower' by Stephen Chbosky, which was also a decent book, but reading all letters was also not something that I'm a huge fan of. This fulfilled my book with over one million reviews on goodreads.

And lastly I read 'Eat your peas for New Moms' by Cheryl Karpen, a quick 3 min read someone gave me at a baby shower! Here's to another good week hopefully!

For the week of Sept. 22-28.

Again, this week got the best of me... But there's always next week!

For the week of Sept. 15-21.

Well, I still did not finish a book this week, but hopefully here soon I'll get some traction and keep reading!
