January Bingo Update 1

Here's my first update for January Bingo! 
So far I've gotten through Norse Mythology by Neil Gaiman for the Popsugar challenge 2019, Percy Jackson and the Olympians The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan for book with over 1 million ratings and admin/mod favorite. I also just today finished Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austin for a book that's older than you. I'm going to try to knock out Drums of Autumn by Diana Gabaldon done by the end of the month but we shall see. I also want to get a couple more read including:
Stolen by Kelly Armstrong for shape shifting character
Homecoming by Kass Morgan for science fiction

TV shows that made me want to read the books

I know it's an unpopular opinion, but I like to watch new shows before I read the books they're based on. If I hate the premise of the show, I'm certainly going to hate the book. But there have been a couple of TV shows over the years that have made me want to read the books that they're based on, just because I love the worlds that are built so much. Outlander is one of those shows that I heard about for so long, but I never really watched it. I knew everyone loved it, and it was really good, but I just never got into the idea of it. Then someone recommended the book to me. I know this is backwards from what this post was supposed to be, but I read the first book, and then watched the first season, and decided I was going to continue reading the series and then following it up with the show.  Currently I'm on book 4 Drums of Autumn. I know the last season has a lot of spoilers for it, but I'm still excited to finally get a chance to sit down and re...

This month I will be participating in a book bingo from The Book Democracy. This is my sheet before anything is filled in. Each week I'll post updates of how far I've gotten. My goal is one bingo by the end of the month. The rules are simple.  1. ONE book a month may be used on TWO squares, not including the free space. 2. Books must be started AND finished in the month of the bingo event 3. Books must be over 150 pages, and be middle grade level and above. Children's classics count as they are long enough.  4. Graphic Novels can only be used for the "Graphic Novel" prompt.  My plan of attack: Multiple POV: Day 21 by Kass Morgan LGBTQIA main character: A Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue (restart) by Mackenzi Lee Shape shifting character: Stolen by Kelley Armstrong Book that's older than you: Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen Intimidating Book: Drums of Autumn by Diana Gabaldon Popsugar challenge 2019: Norse Mythology ...

Author: Kass Morgan Read: 7/18/2018 Pages: 326 Rating: 4 Format: physical Response: I enjoyed this more than the show on the CW, and I love that show. I really like Bellamy and Clarke here as compared to the first season of the TV show. Luke and Glass was something I wasn't expecting, and at first I was not a fan, but they grew on me. It was interesting to see what families were willing to do to protect each other and keep the people they loved safe. The point of view changes every chapter, and while I don't typically like changes in POV, it was well played. Where other writers send you across time with the switch, Morgan kept it all on the same timeline (aside from flashbacks), so when you were done seeing what was happening on Earth, she flipped you up to space for what was happening right then.
