Progress 5/12

[michelle-belle]

Update from 3/5 to 4/5!

I completed prompt #6: an author or character writing under a pseudonym. I read Angel's Game by Carlos Ruiz Zafón (El cementerio de los libros olvidados #2). This was such a great read for this. Our main character David Martín originally writes under his own name, then under the pseudonym Ignatius B. Samson. He also ghostwrites for his friend unbeknownst to his friend and goes into contract for a book where his name will not be published at all.
5/5 stars, ready to pick up the final two books of this series

14. A medical transformation. The Answer Is…: Reflections on My Life

Chemo and cancer treatment are medical...and it caused lots of side effects or "transformation".

Side note: I'm crying.

20. A game changer - The Guest List

I mean, the story itself was a game changer but also my perspective on murder mysteries has changed now

[michelle-belle]

Update from 4/5 to 5/5! I reached my goal- I'm so happy about that and proud of myself!
The last prompt I chose to complete was #19: a technological innovation. I completed it by reading Divergent by Veronica Roth. The technological innovation in this story was a simulation serum, which when injected induces simulations, but was also manipulated to be a transmitter/tracker which controls the autonomy of a person.
I gave this book 3.5 stars. I enjoyed the movie more than the book! Unsure as to whether I will continue on in the series.
