Jayme - I have the “Smoke” Book on my TBR list but I am not sure if I will ever bring myself to actually read it. Good or bad, I don’t want to know, but how do you feel about the topic after reading it? Was it too much? Too much hype?

It wasn't a bad read - parts are graphic though, but written rather tongue in cheek to not be so icky. The author was funny and I did learn a few things about the funeral industry. I just thought there was some personal stuff about the author that didn't need to be in the book and was written just to show how edgey she thinks she is.

Thanks, Janice! I think I am finished with this challenge. I will now focus on gophering the 2021, if I can stop going down the rabbit hole of the interactive museum task 4. I really like the new challenge!

[Janice, Moderator]

I didn't think you would continue with the trivia challenge, but thought you might to have all the t's crossed and i's dotted.

I'm glad you're enjoying prepping for the museum challenge.

[Margo]

Well done Jayme, badge 4 is impressive! Pity you had to finish with such a dull book.

Can you continue the trivia challenge for a badge? I thought that once the year was over we move on?

Thanks! I know I wasn't impressed with the book at all. I think it was the series though because I have found other paranormal fantasy series this year that I like and am continuing. Which is interesting because it's not a genre I usually read. That's what I like about the yearly challenge - reading a little out of comfort zone.

No. The challenge is over Dec 31, 2020. Some people like to keep a record of what they read and I included the badge 5 items in case you were one of them.
