I will happily play, @CSeydel. 🤩😍🤗

Q: Is there a series you started out enjoying but just couldn‘t finish?
For me, it was the Stephanie Plum books by Janet Evanovich. I loved them and thought they were a riot, but I got about midway, and I became exhausted and just couldn't finish all of them. The writing pattern was by then too well-known and created ennui for me.

TiredLibrarian Same. I think I got to about #16 and it just got old, old, old. 11mo
CSeydel I wonder why I didn‘t get notified that you tagged me! Paging Litsy tech support … 11mo
CSeydel But yeah, it‘s funny how sometimes a series will just go cold, not because anything changed with the books, but just in your brain. Like when you put on perfume and after 30 minutes or so you don‘t smell it anymore. The receptors just go dark. 11mo

Deblovestoread I quit these as well. Loved the laugh out loud moments but the joy eventually petered out. 11mo
Bookwormjillk I couldn't take them any more either. I think I got to about book 20 and just couldn't keep reading. 11mo
dabbe @CSeydel I even double-checked to make sure I spelled everything correctly! What a great question, too! 🤩🤗😍 11mo
Dragon Same here- The Ranger / Morelli thing etc I stopped in the high teens ( team Ranger 🤣💚🐉) 11mo
CSeydel Thanks! And I did get a notification about the comment tag 🤷🏻‍♀️ 11mo
CSeydel And I‘ve thought about diving into the Stephanie Plum series, but I never have. Too many good detective series! 11mo
Blueberry Every couple years I might read another one if I want a laugh. 11mo
Bklover The Plum series and the Alphabet series! 11mo
dabbe @Bklover Are the alphabet one by Sue Grafton? I did the SAME thing with hers, too! I got about to the letter M I think and bailed. 🤣🤣🤣 11mo
Bklover Yes- Sue Grafton and this is so funny- I made it to M as well!😁 11mo
dabbe @Bklover They say ... #greatmindsthinkalike 🤩😍🤗 11mo

#spring #booked2023
Thoughts so far-
Wrongly incarcerated - Just Mercy
New in 23- ? I‘m sure there will be many!
Modern take- The Weight of Blood- meant to be a retelling of Carrie- which is a horror classic 😁
Short story- ? - I do have many choices, so will just have to pick one nearer the time
Set in 2 times- This is How
Starts with W- Widowland

Cinfhen Just Mercy is SOOOO GOOD!!! I‘m loving your ideas 💡 1y
squirrelbrain I was just about to comment that Just Mercy is so good, but @cinfhen beat me to it! 😁 1y

TrishB @Cinfhen @squirrelbrain that‘s good to hear! It was also gifted off Cindy but unfortunately can‘t use for 2 😁 but I‘m not short of gifted books thankfully! 1y
squirrelbrain Yes, that‘s one prompt that‘s rather easy! #giftedbyalitten 1y
Oryx And I'm just jumping in to also say Just Mercy is incredible 🙂 @Cinfhen @squirrelbrain 1y
TrishB @Oryx and now I‘ve got to wait until January! 1y
Bookzombie I like your take on a classic retelling. I will have to keep that in mind. 🙂 1y
BarbaraBB Just Mercy does sound good indeed! 1y
TrishB @Bookzombie always room for a bit of flexibility 😁 1y
TrishB @BarbaraBB been on the pile for a while now so good chance to read! 1y

Pop sugar‘s 2021 Reading Challenge just dropped and I am loving both the diversity of the prompts, and focus on TBR in the advanced section.

Also, #Booked2021 had the idea for a ♣️♦️♠️♥️ prompt first. 😝 @BarbaraTheBibliophage @Cinfhen

Check out the list here: https://www.popsugar.com/entertainment/reading-challenge-2021-47892177

I have 2 more prompts left on the 2020 list. Almost there! #pop20 #pop21

Cinfhen There‘s a lot of crossover and a bunch of their prompts we‘ve had in previous #Booked challenges 🙌🏻😍 #GreatMindsThinkAlike @4thhouseontheleft @BarbaraTheBibliophage #PoP21 3y
alisiakae @Cinfhen I think they are starting to recycle a bit from their own lists from previous years! I love their 2021 prompts, more than the 2020 ones. This will be my 6th year, popsugar was the first online RC I ever participated in! 3y
Graciouswarriorprincess I don‘t know that I like this year‘s. I try to match up the prompts with books in my TBR piles to downsize those piles and will have a hard time with this list doing that. 3y

Cinfhen I agree, last year‘s prompts weren‘t the best. 3y
Amandajoy I don‘t normally do their reading challenge, but I think I‘m going to do the advanced option this year. Need to whittle down the TBR. Not like that‘s ever really going to happen, but I‘ll take a shot at it. 3y
JamieArc I don‘t usually do reading challenges because I‘m such a mood reader and like to figure out on my own my reading priorities, but a lot of these prompts would cover books I‘ve been meaning to read, or are just really interesting. I might just give it a go this time! 3y
BarbaraBB I finished this year‘s challenge months ago because the prompts were easy or multi interpretabele. I really think the #pop21 prompts are better! 3y
eeclayton I've participated 3 times, including 2020, which I won't finish most probably, but I started out late (some time in April), and it won't bother me if I can't tick off each prompt. I'm not sure I want to jump in in 2021, although the advanced section does look exciting! 3y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @Cinfhen @4thhouseontheleft Glad we can say ours were “published” first! I think I‘m sticking to #readingasia2021 and #booked2021 and the nonfiction bingo card that hopefully @Riveted_Reader_Melissa does again in 2021. That‘s more than enough for me! 3y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @BarbaraTheBibliophage I already posted it! I‘ll tag you 😉 3y
alisiakae @Riveted_Reader_Melissa and now I‘m off to find #nonfiction2021! 🙌🏽 3y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @4thhouseontheleft I see you found it! 👍 3y
Cinfhen Oh... I need to find that post too @Riveted_Reader_Melissa I love your #NFChallenge 💜😘 3y
saresmoore I love the crossover with the Blackjack prompt! You guys are really on the forefront! 😄 3y
Cinfhen Here‘s the link for #pop21 @andreadmw xx 3y
Crazeedi I found this post! Printed the list so I'll see how far I get! 3y
alisiakae @Crazeedi yay! A few of us use the #pop21 hashtag to track our reads for the challenge! 3y
Crazeedi @4thhouseontheleft ok thank you! Not sure how I'm going to do with it, but I'm going to try 3y

Hooked_on_books Hooray! 🎉 I predict you‘ll zoom right through it. Prepare yourself for vivid descriptions of violence done to a human body. But that‘s just a small part of the book. 4y
