So I've been seeing this challenge from Popsugar around a lot the last week and I thought it would be very interesting to attempt to see how many of these I can work my way through! Some of these are going to be tough. I'm up for a challenge though!! The ones that I already know what book I'm going to use I'll list below. If they're blank, or any of them that do not have ** next to them for that matter, feel free to throw suggestions into the comments.
