Book 1 Lord of Scoundrels

Lord of Scoundrels by Loretta Chase fulfilled the prompt “A Book Everyone Seems to Have Read but Me” for the PopSugar 2021 Reading Challenge.

The 2021 Challenge

PopSugar’s new Reading Challenged dropped on December 1st. I’ve been planning like mad. Since I started last year in December, I thought it’d be fine to start early this year too.

Book 46 Divided in Death

Divided in Death by J.D. Robb fulfilled the “Favorite Prompt from a past PopSugar Reading Challenge” category for this year’s challenge.

Book 45 Roughing It

Roughing It by Mark Twain fulfilled the category “Book by or about a Journalist” for the PopSugar 2020 Reading Challenge. The book is a chronicle of Mark Twain’s adventures in the new West in the 1860s. I’m not sure how much is autobiographical, just plain fiction, or something in-between. It’s Twain, after all. The …
