Book Blogger Hop; Friends and Book Discussions

It's Friday again, which means it's time for a new Book Blogger Hop post, thanks to Ramblings of a Coffee Addicted Writer. The question of the week was "When meeting with friends, do your discussions usually turn to books?".
It's fair to say that it often turns to books, though it happens more frequently with some friends than others. One of my friends from university and I sometimes have "bookshopping dates", so then it's pretty natural that our conversations turn to books.

I might add that not all of my friends are equally as much bookworms as myself, so in some cases books are more mentioned than actually talked about.

    I don't know anyone that likes to read, so my answer was "no" for this week's question.

      What a shame, but luckily there's the bookish online community. :-)

    I don't have a lot of local book-loving friends, so not so much for me. I love the idea of bookshopping dates! Sounds fun. *^-^*

      The bookshopping dates are fun, but fortunately there's the bookish online community if one doesn't have any local book-loving friends.

    I am the same way with my friends, I also have a book lover friend that we both always go to the movies together to watch films that are base on books that we have already read. Thank you so much for sharing your awesome post and here is my link to my blog hop answer.

    For me, it depends on who I am with. Sometimes it turns to books.

      It depends a bit with me as well, considering that not all of my friends are that into books.

Announcing the 2022 Diversity Reading Challenge

Image
As we're writing 2022 in two months, I figured out it was time to announce the 2022 Diversity Challenge. I've hosted it in 2019 and 2021, and decided to host it next year too. I’m not going to make any categories or levels for this challenge, as I want it to be a bit flexible. Read as many books as you feel like reading and yes, it can be children’s books, graphic novels, e-books, non-fiction, audio books, poetry and you-name-it. As it is a diversity reading challenge, it would be mean to exclude some types of reading materials, right? Now, what is diversity you might ask? What I mean by diversity is, but not limited to; People of colour/non-caucasian characters/authors Native Americans and other indigenous people LGBTQIA+ Authors/characters defining themselves as trans, intersex, genderfluid or similar Refugees Religious minorities Mental illnesses/disorders Neurodiversity (like ADD, Aspergers and autism) Feminist themes/issues Physical/mental disabilities Characters/authors w

I read the horror novel The Prettiest Girl in the Grave by Kristopher Triana earlier this year and today I'll post my review of the book. Description from Goodreads From the author of international horror sensation Gone to See the River Man comes a new tale of terror that will drag you to the darkest corners of the soul. Some girls are fearful, others are brave. One girl’s a princess, the next one, a slave. But all girls are equal, when they’re down in this cave, until just one is left standing—The Prettiest Girl in the Grave. It’s only supposed to be a game. When Bella, Celeste, and Rose meet with new friends at a graveyard in the woods, they soon realize they’re unprepared for what’s planned. At twenty-four, Aubrey is older than the high schoolers, and she knows of a secret game that’s been played by local girls for decades. It starts with personal questions, but quickly moves on to a test of courage as Aubrey guides them into an underground crypt. But even Aubrey doesn’t know w
