Every year since 2015, I have completed the Popsugar Reading Challenge to diversify my reading. Over the course of the last year, I would like to think that I have done this but I do like the prompts and it would still push me out of my reading taste.  I have put books that I want to read but I will fill it out over the year so stay tuned to find out what I want to read!  So let's see what I want to read this year and what the prompts are... A book published in 2022 Book I Want To Read: Book I Actually Read: A book set on a plane, train, or cruise ship Book I Want To Read: Book I Actually Read: A book about or set in a nonpatriarchal society Book I Want To Read: Book I Actually Read: A book with a tiger on the cover or "tiger" in the title  Book I Want To Read: Book I Actually Read: A sapphic book Book I Want To Read: Book I Actually Read: A book by a Latinx author Book I Want To Read: Book I Actually Read: A book with onomatopoeia in its title Book I Want To Read: Book I...

It is a great book and I highly recommend especially if you wanted to give John Green a second chance.  T he Upper World by Femi Fadugba I had heard a lot about The Upper World a while before I read the book and I have to admit that I was really excited so it made me anticipate even more. I picked it up really quickly and raced through it. It was the last 100 pages that really got me as I finished it all in half an hour. I can't wait ...
