100 Book Prompt Challenge -2023
>
Lindsey鈥檚 100 Book Challenge - 2023
First Book of 2023 has been logged and somehow fits 4 prompts! I could have added a 5th for "Thriller/Suspense" (which it's marketed as), but I didn't find it to be a thriller or suspenseful, personally.The Push - 2 stars
Debut novel & "phycological thriller" by Ashley Audrain. This felt more like a book about motherhood with a twist - *only the "twist" was predictable and honestly kind of boring.
Unfortunately, there can be real stinkers out there! You tried!
Lindsey, a four-for-one prompt achievement! Brava!It's frustrating when promised a "twist" only to find it fairly predictable. This is why i trust Book Nook reviewers more than professional ones or others i do not know. Their new can be my ho hum.

I see what the author was doing (trying to make us doubt ourselves along with the main character) - it just didn't work well. This was her debut novel though, so I tried not to judge too harshly!

On the other hand, it fit a bunch of prompts ! Onward.
True, re. debut novel slack cutting. :-)
Bit of a slow start to the year... but finally finished Demon Copperhead which somehow fits 6 prompts: Over 500 pages, told from antagonist's point of view, author who's written over 5 books, name in the title, set in the country i'm in, and recommended to me by a friend. It also sort of fits "book about inequality" but I have several others that will fit that prompt, including another I'm still reading.Overall, I really enjoyed this one. Barbara Kingsolver 's writing is just lovely and her ability to tell a story and keep a reader's interest past 500 pages is impressive. I also love stories like this (fictional yet built into reality) because they make me want to go read non-fiction books on the same topic (the opioid crisis for one).
Lindsey wrote: "Bit of a slow start to the year... but finally finished Demon Copperhead which somehow fits 6 prompts: Over 500 pages, told from antagonist's point of view, author who's written ove..."Wow ! You hit the Prompt jackpot on this book !
I have it on my list to read. I'm glad it's a winner. I can't say I've read a book by Barbara Kingsolver that I didn't like.
The Poisonwood Bible is my fav so far.
Well done, Lindsey! Your slow start paid off Big Time, as far as prompts go.
#37, #68 & #95 checked off by Bad Feminist written by Roxane GayThis was outside of my typical book genre (mainly due to being a compilation of essays), but I really enjoyed it. Roxane Gay is such an amazingly non-judgmental writer (while harshly judging some of her subjects - she has an amazing way of doing both at once, I'm still trying to figure that out), while also being crystal clear about her opinions on everything from feminism to politics to pop culture. I didn't always agree with everything in her essays, but I always appreciated and respected her viewpoints.

I remember loving Poisonwood Bible also, but I read it ages ago (in high school... so at least 20 years ago!) Maybe time for a re-read.

Good job on the prompts, Lindsey !
I like it when an author can express opinions with which i disagree without alienating me from the rest of her work. It keeps a reader on her toes and manages to entertain and inform, as intended.Lindsey, you are off to a terrific reading year with achieving prompts. Congrats.
Thank you both! Many of the books on my list going forward only fit one prompt, so things should taper off a bit. I'm already switching up some of my TBRs for the prompts as I see others logging theirs!

This is also another reason i have posted what i "hope" to read for some prompts, in case others are having trouble coming up with titles. Several are quite challenging.

I'm having trouble finding a book about parenthood I want to read, and also a romance. I don't read genre romances, so I've been searching for a literary novel that contains a romance. I don't know if that's being unfaithful to the prompt or not.

I never read Romance (unless it happens on accident). That's a clever approach to the prompt!
Although I'm a parent, I don't enjoy most "parenting" style books. I do like those based in psychology though. I think I'm going to read The Book You Wish Your Parents Had Read or Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents: How to Heal from Distant, Rejecting, or Self-Involved Parents.
Both seem sort of "self-help"-style, so I'm still on the hunt for something based a bit more in psychology.
Interested to see what you choose!

You totally decides what fits a prompt or not. No pressure. It's a challenge for fun.
I am not interested in childrearing any longer, so most of the books i have seen listed look boring. However, i was a fan of the late Erma Bombeck and may end up reading one of her collections of essays. She could be hilarious & i'd like to see if she holds up on this side of parenting. If Life Is a Bowl of Cherries What Am I Doing in the Pits? was my favorite but i think i'd like to read one i haven't yet tried.While i don't think i'll reread The Child In The Family--Maria Montessori, i recall being intrigued by her ideas. I read this book over 40 years ago when i (unexpectedly) was pregnant. She gave me direction when i had none.

Forgot to add this one a few days ago: The Sun Does Shine: How I Found Life and Freedom on Death RowThis is one of those books that literally every single person in our country would benefit from reading. Despite feeling like I've read a lot about our country's struggles with racism, I was still shocked by several things that happened to Ray (Anthony Ray Hinton) and learned a lot. His story is heartbreaking and enlightening and powerful. Some describe it as inspirational, and while I agree that Ray was an absolute inspiration and made the most of his circumstances - I was mostly just shocked and angered for what he endured.

If you've seen the movie made from this book: Just Mercy: A Story of Justice and Redemption, you'll know the story. I didn't know Ray had written his own book (Just Mercy was written by the lawyer who took on his case).
Lindsey, I am familiar with the book, Just Mercy. However, I've not read it. Thanks for the heads-up that Ray also wrote his own book.Did you prefer Rays book over Just Mercy ? If you could read just one, which would you suggest?

Wow, thanks for this title and your comments, Lindsey. I'm adding it to my TBR but moving it toward the top. Good selection!
Alias Reader wrote: "Lindsey, I am familiar with the book, Just Mercy. However, I've not read it. Thanks for the heads-up that Ray also wrote his own book.Did you prefer Rays book over Just Mercy ? If you could read ..."
I read Just Mercy over 5 years ago, and can't remember enough to give a great comparison. I do remember being moved by Stevenson's writing and the overall story.
If I had to suggest one, it would be Ray's own account. He focuses less on the legal aspect of things (although he does include some), and more on his actual time in Prison and on death row. The narrator for the audio book is fantastic as well.

I probably should have added that it was fairly difficult to read. The amount he suffered is unfathomable. But I'm glad I read it. And I hope he writes more in the future - he's a natural storyteller and has a lot to give.

I admire you for taking this on, Lindsey. It's difficult to expose yourself to so much pain and suffering, especially when the systemic unfairness is overwhelming and intractable, and any help one can give seems inadequate to the task. Thanks for bringing it to our attention.Michele
I agree with Michele, Lindsey. It must have been a very difficult and bleak read. Maybe, given the title more sad than bleak.
Kiki (Formerly TheGirlByTheSeaOfCortez) wrote: "I agree with Michele, Lindsey. It must have been a very difficult and bleak read. Maybe, given the title more sad than bleak."Yes, sad and bleak are excellent descriptors. I found Ray (the author and innocently convicted man) to be a very positive, uplifting voice, but that made it all the more depressing in my opinion. The injustice is hard to fathom.
Lindsey wrote: Lindsey wrote: "Yes, sad and bleak are excellent descriptors.

However, it's critical that we learn about these gross injustices so that hopefully we can correct them.
Alias Reader wrote: "Sad and bleak. However, it's critical that we learn about these gross injustices so that hopefully we can correct them...."True. First we will have to educate ourselves, then follow up with action. It's almost criminal that a justice system has done this so much over the years.

An injustice like that is hard to fathom, for the unjustly accused and for his loved ones.
Kiki (Formerly TheGirlByTheSeaOfCortez) wrote: "I started The Pillars of the Earth, but I just never got around to reading it all."I love the Pillars trilogy! I didn't realize I actually read the "prequel" which isn't part of the trilogy, so I still have one book left. They aren't my type of books/genre at all, so I was surprised how much I liked them. Probably due to Follett's writing and ability to tell a story, especially as most of his books are 500-1000 pages

Yes exactly - his mom, basically his favorite person (he was the baby of the family and lived with her) died while he was still imprisoned. I can't even imagine.

I feel the same, Lindsey. I don't usually like books set in that time period, but I loved The Pillars of the Earth. I have not yet read the other two books. I think Follett is an amazing writer.
Yes. That man's mother must have suffered horribly, with him locked in prison for something he didn't do. It probably contributed to her death. I can understand a judge or jury getting it wrong sometimes, but when it becomes clear that a person is wrongly incarcerated, it's terribly difficult to get out of prison, and it shouldn't be that way. If someone in my family were wrongly incarcerated, I know I couldn't think of much else until the condition was righted, which can take months or even years. The court system here moves so slowly.
Kiki, I completely agree. So many people suffer when the courts make a mistake. This particular story was heartbreaking because the lawyers knew what they were doing. They knew he was innocent and didn鈥檛 care. His own court-appointed lawyer intentionally didn鈥檛 support him & ignored calls from the real killer, among other horrific injustices. For that reason it鈥檚 a good book to read if you want to understand the South USA, post Jim Crow laws.
Lindsey wrote: "Kiki, I completely agree. So many people suffer when the courts make a mistake. This particular story was heartbreaking because the lawyers knew what they were doing. They knew he was innocent and ..."Yes, that is tragic. The level of irresponsibility involved. As long as it's not their loved ones, right?
Kiki (Formerly TheGirlByTheSeaOfCortez) wrote: "I started The Pillars of the Earth, but I just never got around to reading it all."I like the idea of this novel but have yet to attempt it. It's a whopping big book.
Thanks, Lindsey and Madrano.It's a big book, Madrano, but the pages go by fast because it's so good.
