Grave Mercy by Robin LaFevers (a book set in an abbey, cloister, monastery, vicarage, or convent)
Fun book about girl assassins! Not very deep or memorable, but fun.

Gemina by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff (a book set in space)
Just a great as the first book, but heartbreaking and violent.

Three Dark Crowns by Kendare Blake (your favorite prompt from a past popsugar reading challenge)
A fascinating, well-built world. I loved the characters and felt like I understood them.

Wires and Nerves by Marissa Meyer (two books that share the same title)
LOL this doesn't really count, but these two books were so fun! I loved the artwork and the characters.

Wires and Nerves: Gone Rogue by Marissa Meyer (two books that share the same title)

Archaeology From Space by Sarah Parcak (a book that’s published in 2019)
Not quite as interesting as I was hoping, but still a great look into how scientific fields continue to overlap.

A Man Called Ove by Fredrik Backman (a book set in Scandinavia)
Wow, I'm soooo glad I jumped onto the bandwagon and read this one! A lovely, moving book.
