So at the end of last year I discovered the Popsugar Reading Challenge and I thought it looked interesting because for someone who just reads YA I thought that it would be a good way to make my reading more diverse. I thought that I would talk about my progress, the ones in bold being the ones I have read and the ones in italics the ones that I need to read. Let's get started...
1. A book with more than 500 pages: Demon Road by Derek Landy
2. A classic romance: Pride & Prejudice by Jane Austen
3. A book that became a movie: Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist by David Levithan and Rachel Cohn
4. A book published this year: All The Bright Places by Jennifer Niven
5. A book with a number in the title: Just One Day by Gayle Foreman
6. A book written by someone under 30: The Bone Season by Samantha Shannon
7. A book with nonhuman characters: Infinite Sea by Rick Yancey
8. A funny book: Me and Earl and the Dying Girl by Jesse Andrews
9. A book by a female author: Cress by Marissa Meyer
10. A mystery or thriller: The Masked Truth by Kelley Armstrong
11. A book with a one-word title: Talon by Julie Kagawa
12. A book of short stories: The Beautiful Cassandra by Jane Austen
13. A book set in a different country: I'll Give You The Sun by Jandy Nelson
14. A nonfiction book: All I Know Now by Carrie Hope Fletcher

19. A book based on a true story: One by Sarah Crossan
20. A book at the bottom of your to-read list: Downsiders by Neal Shusterman
21. A book your mum loves: Any Sophie Kinsella
22. A book that scares you: Say Her Name by James Dawson
23. A book more than 100 years old: Alice In Wonderland by Lewis Carroll

Challenges completed: 41/50
Overall, I did really enjoy doing the Popsugar reading challenge, although it was a fault on my side that I did keep reading a lot of YA so I do not think my reading this year was quite diverse. That being said I would recommend in as the challenges were interesting and the challenge meant that I read Shakespeare and a lot more non-fiction and graphic novels which could only be a good thing. This is a book challenge that I also hope to continue next year.
