In reply to Kelly E.. I started this challenge in March but I'm almost done! I like the idea of adding an e-book to the 2021 challenge. Hope you make a bookmark printable for next year. My book club friends would love it.

Thank you for this great list of prompts! I joined late, but had so much fun filling all the prompts with books. I still have 10 books to go, but it’s only end of October. Will you have a challenge in 2021 as well?

I was intrigued by your 2020 book challenge and have 10 left to finish up the year. It’s been super fun, thanks for the interesting challenge. Last year, I read 61 books which was an all time high. This year I’ve read 82, which astounds me that I’ve read so much, although, a fair amount were audio.
Love your book reviews! I really appreciate your reasons and explanations in your reviews and star ratings. Thanks and I look forward to your future reviews.

I read “Still Alice” for my indie book, as Lisa Genova had to self publish the book initially, although it’s since become a best-seller. Otherwise, there are heaps of entertaining “cosy mysteries” on Kindle that are self-published.
My book on a controversial topic probably won’t work for you, as I’m Australian (I’m assuming that most people in this challenge are US-based), and I read “Dark Emu” by Bruce Pascoe, which challenges the accepted history about the level of agricultural, land and water management and complexity of building that existed amongst indigenous Australians pre-European colonisation. It’s stirred up a fair bit of debate in Australia. Another apparently controversial book I read and rated highly this year was Therese Ann Fowler’s “A Good Neighborhood”. The reviews on Goodreads certainly reveal that it’s controversial as far as readers are concerned!

Hi! I’ve been working on the challenge (although not in order) and I’m a bit stumped on the Indie author and a book about a controversial topic. Could you give some suggestions? Thanks!

In reply to Susan (Bloggin' 'bout Books). Of course you can! Feel free to try to rush through all 52 categories, or pick and choose just some of them. I just want you to have tons of fun with it.
