Hello everyone and welcome back to the blog!

I have another exciting post for you today as I’m finally going to dig into the Popsugar Reading Challenge. I try to do it every year and every year I fail. Remember when I told you that I wanted 2022 to be my year? Well, yeah this Reading Challenge will be one of the steps to make 2022 my year.

And now without further ado, let’s talk about this Challenge!

First of all can we talk about how pretty that template is? If you haven’t seen it yet you definitely need to check out their page over at Popsugar. It is gorgeous! Which makes me realize that I’m really a sucker for pretty things. Unfortunately!

📚 #1 – book published in 2022 | A few books could work for this prompt. I might read Gallant by V.E.Schwab, Book of Night by Holly Black or The Maid by Nita Prose. Just remember this is a kind-of TBR. I might end up reading something entirely else!

📚 #2 – A book set on a plane, train or cruise ship | The Woman In Cabin 10 by Ruth Ware sounds perfect for this.

📚 #3 – A book about or set about a nonpatriarchal society | This is kind of a difficult one but maybe The Mercies by Kiran Millwood Hargrave?

📚 #4 – A book with a tiger on the cover or title | The Night Tiger by Yangsze Choo

📚 #17 – A book becoming a TV series or movie in 2022 | I’m very bad at keeping up which books are being adapted into a series or movie but I found a few that could work for me.
