[b]Adv. 5. A book with a left-handed character [color=#9a00b2]Jaye Wells: Dirty Magic[/color][/b] - Kate on poliisi vaihtoehtohistoriallisessa maailmassa, jossa taikuudesta on tullut osa ihmisten normielämää, niin hyvässä kuin pahassakin. Taikuutta, tiedettä ja alkemiaa yhdistämällä ollaan saatu paljon elämää ja työskentelyä helpottavia asioita, mutta osa tuotoksista on aiheuttanut huumeongelmaan verrattavaa addiktoitumista. Yhteistä taikuuden osaajille tässä maailmassa on, että he ovat aina vasenkätisiä.     14/40  Adv. 3/10   [spoiler] [ol] [li]A book about a POC experiencing joy and not trauma [/li] [li]A book you want to read based on the last sentence[/li] [li]A book about space tourism[/li] [li]A book with two or more books on the cover or "book" in the title[/li] [li]A book with a snake on the cover or in the title[/li] [li][b]A book that fills your favorite prompt from the [url=https://www.popsugar.com/love/Reading-Challenge-2015-36071458]2015 PS Reading Challenge[/url] [color=#9a00b2]Lazysheep: Hemp Rope[/color][/b][/li] [li]A book about a cult [/li] [li][b]A book under 250 pages [color=#9a00b2]Kazuki Irodori, Yatsuki Wakatsu: The Other World's Books Depend On The Bean Counter #4[/color][/b][/li] [li]A book that features a character going through menopause[/li] [li]A book you got for free[/li] [li]A book mentioned in another book [/li] [li]A book about a road trip[/li] [li]A book rated less than three stars on Goodreads[/li] [li]A book about a nontraditional education[/li] [li]A book that an AI chatbot recommends based on your favorite book[/li] [li]A book set in or around a body of water [/li] [li]A book about a run club[/li] [li]A book containing magical creatures that aren't dragons [/li] [li]A highly anticipated read of 2025 [/li] [li][b]A book that fills a [url=https://www.popsugar.com/entertainment/reading-challenge-2024-49318757]2024 prompt[/url] you'd like to do over (or try out) [color=#9a00b2]Bram Stoker: Dracula[/color][/b][/li] [li][b]A book where the main character is a politician [color=#9a00b2]Timur Vermes: Täällä taas[/color][/b][/li] [li][b]A book about soccer [color=#9a00b2]Mika Wicström, Anton Lipasti: Jalkapallo haltuun[/color][/b][/li] [li]A book that is considered healing fiction[/li] [li][b]A book with a happily single woman protagonist [color=#9a00b2]Lizzie Pook: Helmenkalastajan tytär[/color][/b][/li] [li]A book where the main character is an immigrant or refugee [/li] [li][b]A book where an adult character changes careers [color=#9a00b2]Robin Cook: Kuoleman ruhtinas[/color][/b][/li] [li]A book set at a luxury resort [/li] [li][b]A book that features an unlikely friendship [color=#9a00b2]Jack Meggit-Phillips: Hirviö ja Helmikki[/color][/b][/li] [li][b]A book about a food truck [color=#9a00b2]Rosie A.

Tapaukseen liittyi myös kaksi karannutta teiniä, vauva, jonka kultti uskoi olevan antikristus sekä heidän karismaattinen johtajansa, joka nyt istuu vankilassa murhasta.

[color=#000000][size=2][b]44. A book you have always avoided reading[/b] Terry Pratchett, Ian Stewart & Jack Cohen: [i]The science of Discworld III – Darwin’s watch [/i][/size][/color]   [color=#000000][size=2]Parikymmentä vuotta sittien (kääk!) luin [i]Science of Discworld[/i] -sarjan toisen osan enkä kauheasti perustanut siitä. Muutama vuosi myöhemmin paikallinen kirjastokimppa laajeni ja tämä kirja kuului nyt yhteisiin kokoelmiin. Merkkasin sen lukulistalleni ja siellä se kökötti kaikki nämä vuodet. Pratchett-fanina tunsin velvollisuudekseni lukea sen vaikken oikeasti halunnutkaan. Kirja oli samanlainen kuin kakkososa siinä mielessä, että joka toinen luku sijoittuu Kiekkomaailman velhojen pariin ja joka toinen on tiukkaa tieteellistä asiaa, tällä kertaa mm. aikamatkustuksesta, evoluutiosta ja muista vaikeaselkoisista jutuista. Kirjan 333:sta sivusta vain 93 oli Discworldia, mikä oli ihan liian vähän. [/size][/color]   [color=#000000][size=2]44/50 [/size][/color]

Kirja sijoittuu avaruudessa matkaavaan hotelliin ja se on kerrottu henkilökunnan eri jäsenten vinkkelistä. Muutamat näkökulmat ovat hotellin asiakkaiden, mutta eivät heitä voi oikein turisteiksi kutsua. Tavallisia asiakkaita tässä hädin tuskin noteerattiin, mutta siitä huolimatta tämä saa luvan välttää tähän kohtaan.[/size][/color]   [color=#000000][size=2]46/50[/size][/color]

[color=#000000][size=2][b]12. A book about a road trip[/b] Homer Hickam: [i]Takapenkin Albert [/i][/size][/color]   [color=#000000][size=2]Nuori aviopari Elsie ja Homer lähtevät pienestä 30-luvun länsivirginialaisesta kotikaupungistaan autolla Floridaan vapauttaakseen liian isoksi kasvaneen lemmikkialligaattorinsa takaisin luonnolliseen elinympäristöönsä. Matka venyy aiottua pitemmäksi ja sen aikana koetaan monta vaiheikasta pysähdystä.[/size][/color]   [color=#000000][size=2]47/50[/size][/color]

Yhteistä heille on, että he vuokraavat kolmeksi päiväksi itselleen kissan tällaiseen palveluun erikoistuneesta liikkeestä. Jokaisella on omat syynsä kissan vuokraamiseen. Yksi novelleista on kerrottu kissan näkökulmasta. Tämä sopii hyvin myös kohtaan 23 ("healing fiction").  [/size][/color]   [color=#000000][size=2]48/50[/size][/color]

[color=#000000][size=2][b]17. A book about a run club[/b] Adrian J. Walker: [i]The end of the world running club [/i][/size][/color]   [color=#000000][size=2]Tämä kertoo ryhmästä, joka asteroidi-iskun jälkeen lähtee Skotlannista Cornwalliin ja joutuu kulkemaan suurimman osan matkasta juosten. Ei ehkä ihan sitä mitä kohdalla haettiin, mutta kelpaa minulle. Tämä oli jo kolmas postapokalyptinen kirja jonka luin haasteeseen ja ne tuppasivat olemaan vähän samatyylisiä. Eniten tykkäsin ensimmäisestä, [i]A boy and his dog at the end of the worldistä. [/i]Enivei, Popsugar suoritettu :)[/size][/color]   [color=#000000][size=2]50/50 [/size][/color]

Onnittelut Pisanialle! Perästä tullaan...

Sama kun mulla tässä kohdassa, mutta sultahan se vinkki tulikin :)   Onnittelut suorituksesta. Itse en ole varma edes saanko Popsugaria kokonaan tehtyä, kun muutama kohta on niin vaikea. No, puolet vuodesta vielä jäljellä - ehkä vuoden loppuun mennessä niihinkin jotain löytyy...
