[2022] Poll 7 Voting

There was a Latinx prompt this year for Read Harder and Reading Women. I got confused when I was first planning as it's not something I had ever heard of.

I always like to see which Popsugar prompts sound familiar.

Someone said that PopSugar is not asking the group for input this year because it's too big now and too hard to manage.

That's a shame, I guess they do a lot on Facebook and that can be hard to keep up with. Hopefully they have kept past suggestions to choose from.

Finally got my votes in! I ended up with only two downvotes, one of them being Soylent Green. I have seen it, and would agree it's considered a classic in my circles, but I find the concept and really the whole movie repulsive, so I don't really *want* to find even a tangential connection to a book I want to read.

To my originally planned upvotes I added the minority group in a country that's not your own prompt and will probably read something like Myanmar Gold
or Shanghai Faithful: Betrayal and Forgiveness in a Chinese Christian Family if it gets in. I also added bird's eye view, not because I have any strong connection to it, but because I had a spare vote and it's the kind of unique prompt I'd like to see more of in general.

I don't think my suggestion will make it either. That's OK, just keep trying different ideas to see what clicks./i>

I will too, mostly because many of this week's are diversity based and I tend to read that way anyways (so I never vote for them as I don't feel they stretch or challenge me)
