I'm going to read Packing for Mars by Mary Roach since I am fascinated by our plans to land on Mars in the future. Hope I'm still alive when it happens.
I am going to read something by Anna Quinlan. Happy to find an author with a Q. She has written several books do I have some choices.
Just finished the new Elly Griffiths, the Lantern Men, number 12 in the Ruth Galloway series. This author never disappoints. My name starts with a G too.
For my Novel challenge: Withering Tights by Louise Rennison (3 Stars)
For my Picture Book challenge: Fred's Big Feelings: The Life and Legacy of Mister Rogers by Laura Renauld (5 Stars)
I know the prompt says to just match the last name, but I'm an overachiever and matched both initials.

That’s great! I would do that too, but with Q my last name initial I am not too sure how easy that would be to find a first initial with a C also. For a different challenge, I was supposed to read a book from the decade I was born and read East of Eden from the year I was born. Fun!
I listened to “Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me?” By Mindy Kaling! It was really entertaining, especially given how much I love The Office.
The book I've choosed for this prompt was used for another challenge, very similar (I have to find an author with the same first or last name as mine): it's an original version of The Picture of Dorian Gray, called Dorian Grayren benetazko erretratua (The true portrait of Dorian Gray) by Aitor Arana Luzuriaga, in basque language. Imagine Oscar Wilde's characters with the 21st century way of thinking...
