PopSugar Challenge 2024.

It’s that time of year again! Find the full list below.

Need some inspiration? Let’s go!

  1. A book about women’s sports and/or by a woman athlete — I’m going to go ahead and say that marching band is a sport. And while drumline isn’t inherently male or female, both The Line series and Confessions of a Teenage Band Geek covers a number of seasons in a very dedicated section.
  2. A book by a self-published author — it’s your girl! Any of my titles would qualify, so feel free to support me as Courtney Brandt or Ann Benjamin.
  3. A book from a genre you typically avoid — if contemporary YA isn’t your thing, perhaps Ali and Chloe can change your mind in Take One at Mulholland High.
  4. A book set in a travel destination on your bucket list — can I offer you Los Angeles (Room 702) or a road trip with lots of destinations (Life After Joe)?
  5. A book that takes place over the course of 24 hours — similar to above, each of the chapters in Room 702 take place in the span of a day.
  6. A book with magical realism — look no further than steampunk-lite The Queen of England trilogy.
  7. A second-chance romanceTwenty Year Reunion offers this in spades!

Happy reading!

PopSugar Reading Challenge 2023.

PopSugar, PopSugar Reading Challenge

  • A book you meant to read in 2022. I assume this could be any of my books, so I’ll just let you choose one.

  • A book about a vacation. Can I offer Life After Joe? Something of a road trip, vacation, and story of grief, all in one.

  • A book about a forbidden romance. Queen Juliette definitely shouldn’t have any feelings for the Captain of the Royal Guard in Coronation.

  • A book about or set in Hollywood. Hello, Take One (and Two) at Mulholland High!

  • A book published in spring 2023. I’ll get back to you on this one, but Take Three at Mulholland High and Confessions of a Band Geek v2 are both in the works, along with a new adult contemporary.

  • A historical-fiction book. The remainder of the Queen of England series is here to help!

  • A book about divorce. Twenty Year Reunion absolutely fits this category.
  • A book that takes place entirely in one day. Okay, cheating a bit, but Room 702 is a ton of one day chapters (it also features two languages).
  • A book that started out as fan fiction. No lies, The Line series actually did begin as fan fiction.

Hope that gets you started — happy reading!

A reminder that all of my books are free to read via Kindle Unlimited.
