Popsugar 2019 Reading Challenge

Book-Lovers, Brace Yourselves: The 2019 POPSUGAR Reading Challenge Is Here!

Hello bookworms!!

  1. For a book written by a musician: Hindsight by Justin Timberlake, A book inspired by mythology, legend or folklore: The Bear and the Nightingale by Katherine Arden (Russian folklore), for a book you see someone reading on TV or in a movie: I suggest watching a few episodes of The Gilmore Girls, Retelling of a classic: Pride by Ibi Zoboi (Pride and Prejudice retelling), A book featuring an extinct or imaginary character: The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien, or Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (the little textbook from the Hogwarts Library Collection), A book about Family: Save the Date by Morgan Matson, A book with a zodiac sign or astrology term on the cover: Zodiac by Romina Russell. I hope that helps, and good luck with this challenge.

    1. I considered the Justin Timberlake book but it wasn’t available on Scribd. I’m going to check and see if I can get it from the library. I will definitely write these other ones down so I don’t forget. I know I’ve seen Rory reading all kinds of books on Gilmore Girls I just couldn’t remember any of the names. I think I might need to rewatch some episodes. It does help thank you!!

      1. You’re very welcome. There’s actually a list somewhere online that has all the books that Rory read on the show. All you have to do is search “list of books Rory read on Gilmore Girls.”

    1. Yeah it’s one of the more challenging challenges I decided to participate in this year but I think it will be fun to try and see what I can accomplish. I will definitely look into that book thank you.

  3. Awesome! I’m also participating in Popsugar again this year, after skipping 2018 because I didn’t really like the prompts. I have a page on my blog with all the prompts and the books I might use for them so maybe you can find some inspiration for yourself there as well. 🙂

    1. I’ve always wanted to participate but for some reason I never did so I decided to just go for it this year. I will definitely go through your post and see if any of the books are books I want to read or am at least a little bit interested in. Thank you.

      1. I hope you have fun with it! It definitely had me picking up books I normally wouldn’t have read; even got me some new favorites. I think Jenny Lawson’s “Furiously Happy” was one I discovered thanks to the Popsugar of 2017. 🙂
