[Lisa]

Hello! My name is Lisa, I'm 31 years old (32 next week) and I'm from the UK. I'm fairly new to Goodreads, been on it for about a year and a half so hadn't really heard of the Popsugar reading challenge until it was too late for me to start it this year. I really love reading and I read all kinds of different genres, so I'm looking forward to the challenge!

[Ariel]

Greetings. I'm Ariel and I'm 26 and living in New Mexico. This will be my first year (officially) participating in a Popsugar Reading Challenge. My goal is to complete all 50 prompts in the coming year as well as clear out my overflowing bookshelf of books I have yet to read. I look forward to some of the group reads and researching the unique prompts.

[Stephanie]

Hi! I'm Stephanie, a 22 year old grad student in Ontario (Library and Information Science at University of Toronto, to be specific). This is my first Popsugar challenge, but I'm super excited to participate! Usually I just set a Goodreads number, but I thought I'd complicate things a bit by going for specific prompts. Here's to 2019!

[Hayley]

Hi I'm Hayley, from the west Midlands in the uk and I'm 30 years old. I saw this challenge online today and thought I would give it a go as this last year I set my own reading challenges and really enjoyed it! Can't wait for the new year to begin xx

[Marnie]

Hello! My name is Marnie. I saw this challenge and was instantly excited! I usually set a Goodreads goal every year but I ♥️ mixing things up. I am in a book group that is 13 years strong and am always, always looking for the next great book to read! I can’t wait to chat with all of you about books! Happy reading!

[Melinda]

Hi I am Melinda. I am an Interior Designer, wife and Mom. My schedule is crazy but I always find time to read or listen to audio books in the car. I am very excited about this challenge.

[Rossana]

Hi I'm Rossana and I live in small village just outside of Edinburgh in Scotland. Love ready prob read about 1/2hours on a weekday during my commute and if I'm feeling a bit down reading is my escape. Never done one these challenges ... I smashed my reading target this year and my 2019 goal is to read more classical so this adds something extra.

[Peyton]

Hi! I’m Peyton, and I’m a second grade teacher in North Carolina. I’m excited to read different genres I’ve never explored before (looking at you, romance). I hope to learn from the books and the discussions, too!

[Rebecca]

Hi, I'm Rebecca! I live in the northeastern United States. I saw the challenge on twitter & thought it would be a fun thing to try, as well as a way too figure out which books on my tbr list I should tackle first : )

[Holly]

Hi! I’m Holly from Vancouver, WA USA. I’ve always loved reading and have set personal goals, but love the idea of different themes, so hoping this helps expand my reading. This past year I listened to more audiobooks instead of reading as it helped pass the time during commute to and from work. My commute has recently decreased, so my hope is to read more. Looking forward to conquering this list with you all!

Thanks for having me.

[Hectaizani]

Hi,

I'm Sarra, from Texas. I love to read and have recently discovered the fun in doing challenges. I'm hoping it will encourage me to read at least some of the books I already own - if I can make them fit in!

That's so awesome you husband is going to do it with you! I wish mine would. He's a much slower reader than I though and sticks to only certain books, mostly it seems to be fantasy. I like a challenge so this is really exciting to me.

[Themountainbookie]

HI I'm Sarah. I live in Montana and I am a stay at home mom to a one year old. I used to go through books really quickly, not because I was a fast reader but because I enjoyed the book so much. Lately it seems I'm in a rut. It takes me a long time to finish a book because frankly in 2018 only two of the books I read I really enjoyed (Radium Girls and Educated). Now it seems I'm scrolling through facebook with my extra time instead of reading... Horrible! I'm hoping this list will help in 2019 to find some good reads :)

[Graceann]

Hi, all. I’m Graceann. Originally from Milwaukee, but now one of Ma’am’s subjects in the U.K. I don’t read 52 books a year anymore, but I try, and I love lists and ticking boxes, so this feels like a good place for me to be.

[Gina]

Hello - I am Gina originally from Baltimore and now living in the now frigid Midwest. I love to read and looking forward to attempting this challenge.

This is awesome Jenn!! I did a reading challenge with my girls this year. They are 6 ( just turned 7 last week) and 8. We used picture books for all 52 prompts and I made a GRs page for each of them to track. They had a personal GoodReads goal to read 100 books this year. They did it and we had a great time reading and snuggling and talking about books. They are loving reading so much more now!! Enjoy!

[Robert]

Hi Everyone. I'm Robert from Georgia. I've hit a little bit of a reading slump lately, and I am hoping this challenge will help me break it. There are some very entertaining prompts and i hope that they lead to enjoyable books.

[Lori]

Hi to y'all and happy holidays. I am Lori and currently in Maryland. If that changes, will be sure and let y'all know. I found out about this challenge and group from a reading twin....we were paired for one month and have been reading together almost a year now. I am originally from England and like how international the site is. Looking forward to making new friends and spreading my wings with the genres of books I will be tackling. First time doing something other than a personal challenge or twins but please be kind and patient with me.

Hi! My name is Melissa and I live in Greenville, SC. I found out about this challenge at my local library book club. I’m so excited to do this!

[Joyce]

Hi, I'm Joyce and I am from Wisconsin. I recently retired from my position as a church musician. Reading is on my list of things I want to pursue in my retirement. Not having been much of a reader in the past, I do want to pursue it now. Thus I am giving this a try. I am so glad you stated in the group rules that its OK for me to read just one book. Hopefully, it will be many more than than.

Anyway . . . . . here goes.

[Jenny]

Hello, I'm Jenn from Huntsville, AL, USA. I saw the challenge on Facebook and thought I'd give it a try. I love to read, but I stay pretty busy. Realistically, I'm setting a personal goal to read one challenge book per month.
