You can see the prompt list in my 2019 Reading Challenge Overview post or on the popsugar.com website. Here are my thoughts on the 19th and 20th books that I've read this year. Book 19:  Dare to Lead: Brave Work. Tough Conversations. Whole Hearts.  by Bren é   Brown I gave this book 2/5 stars on Goodreads. The prompt I chose for this was "A Book by an author whose first and last names start with the same letter"  I'd heard amazing things about this book, and so when my sorority decided to read it for their book club I was excited to join in. The wait to get this book from the library was well over a month, and I took that as a good sign too that it was well loved and going to be a great book. Unfortunately, for me that was not the case. I love the occasional self-help or leadership book. When we find a good one, my boss and I recommend them to each other. I was hoping to be able to recommend this one to him, but sadly I found...

The prompt I chose for this was "Read a book during the season it is set in" I wasn't originally going to use this book for that prompt, but after reading it and realizing that the season at the time fit really well it felt like it was meant to be. This book was cute, but it didn't resonate with me the same way the first in the series did. WARNI...

This year, I'm participating in  the 2019 Pop Sugar Reading Challenge. ( For more information check out my 2019 Reading Challenge Overview post, or look up the challenge on popsugar.com.)  Here are my thoughts on the 13th and 14th books that I read. Book 13:  Eat Pray Love  by Elizabeth Gilbert I gave this book 4/5 stars on Goodreads. The prompt I chose for this was "A Book With at least 1 million ratings on Goodreads."  This book was an incredibly easy read in my opinion. I felt like her writing style flowed well, and it kept me interested enough to keep reading for the most part. There were some areas where I wanted to skip ahead, but overall, I felt it had a good flow. However, there were some things that rubbed me the wrong way a bit.
