glacier_kittyA book featuring a parallel reality: The Masked City by Genevieve Cogman (Jan 1-6)
A book about the afterlife: The Library of the Unwritten by A.J. Hackwith (Jan 7-13)
A book with a quote from your favorite author on the cover or Amazon page: A Blizzard of Polar Bears by Alice Henderson (Jan 15-19). Nevada Barr likes it? Oh yeah!
A book you know nothing about: Caliban's Shore: The Wreck of the Grosvenor and the Strange Fate of Her Survivors by Stephen Taylor (Jan 20-24). This book mentioned Bartolomeu Dias, the first person to round the Cape of Good Hope, and a little later in the day I saw his name on List Challenges ("huh, I just read about him!") and then even later in the day I was doing a crossword and one of the clues was "Cape of Good Hope explorer" and I about fell over! What are the chances of that?? I don't remember seeing his name before that, but it stands out now :P
A book that fulfills your favorite prompt from a past POPSUGAR Reading Challenge: A book with a cat on the cover: Nala's World: One Man, His Rescue Cat, and a Bike Ride around the Globe by Dean Nicholson (Jan 25-28)
A romance novel by a BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, Persons of Color) author: Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe by Benjamin Alire Sáenz (Jan 29-31). What a beautiful book! I totally ship Aristotle and Dante LOL (I'm glad this topic was easier than I thought it would be, since romance is one of my least favorite genres lol). Maybe I'll read the second one too!

29. If you are an only child, do you wish you had siblings? If you have siblings, do you wish you were an only child? Nah, not having any siblings seems so lonely!
30. Do you sleep with your sheets tucked in or out? If you don't use top sheets, if you stay somewhere that does, do you prefer your sheets tucked in or out? I do a little of both..I tuck the comforter between the posts and the mattress, but just let the sheet hang down (making a four-poster bed is kind of hard! The posts get in the way haha. I told that to mom and she was like "you have NO sympathy from me, you HAD to have it!" LOL. Still worth it though :P)

1. Do you think your country would change if everyone, regardless of age or any other current restriction, could vote? If yes, in what ways? It might..hard to say how though
