This will be the master post for Booked 2018. This a seasonal challenge from Litsy, a social network cross between Instagram and Goodreads only accessible by the mobile app. I will add review links as I post them. There are six prompts per quarter, as follows:

January – March 3/6
1. Book featuring an Olympic Sport (because it’s the 2018 Winter Olympics, y’all!) – The Mad Men of Hockey
2. POC Author – Born A Crime by Trevor Noah READ/REVIEWED
3. Body Positive Memoir or Novel – Tomboy Survival Guide READ/REVIEWED
4. Cozy Mystery – Shades of Earl Grey
5. Feminist Classic (For International Women’s Day on March 8!) – This Bridge Called My Back
6. Unconventional Romance – The Clothesline Swing READ/REVIEWED

The Well of Loneliness should work for #5 or #6, and Colonize This! will work for #2. That’s two that I’m also reading for PopSugar. I could use This Bridge Called My Back for #5 as well, since I’ve been meaning to read it, and I own it. 

April Edit: Well, I didn’t do so well on the first quarter, only read half of what I planned to for this challenge. I’ve been too busy reading other things! Hopefully I can do better this next quarter.

April – June DONE!
