This could be content, page number or genre in general. Horror books, huge page counts, or maybe a genre that is intimidating to you. This is open to your interpretation. 

10. Takes place during October: Halloween Fraidy Cat--Abby Klein


This book doesn't have to exclusively take place in October but that majority of the book should. 

Back to school themes, Halloween, Fall type books will work best.

11. A title with a color in itThe Story of Blue-Beard--Charles Perrault


I taught preschool for five years. I'm not going to waste my time teaching ADULTS what colors are lol 

12. A Non-Fiction bookRemember the Ladies--Cheryl Harness



NOT A MEMOIR! EXPAND YOUR HORIZONS. LEARN ABOUT RACE! LEARN ABOUT HISTORY! Any non fic will work as long as it is not a memoir or biography. 

14. MC is a teacher or professor: Lit--Mary Karr


Back to school vibes, this means the teacher or professor should be teaching in a school/university. 

No coaches, fitness trainers, etc.

15. A cover that matches your birth stone: Ruby--Erica Varela (Weird, because my birthstone is garnet)


 

16. MC has a flower nameLayover--Amy Alderson & Emily Meyer (one of the MCs is named Poppy)


Daisy, Iris, Rose, Violet, Poppy....there's so many! If you're unsure if it is a flower name, please google it! Spelling doesn't matter, nicknames are fine too. If their name is Rosie that works. 

NOT nature names, Forest, River, Rain/Rayne those don't count.

17. Cat on the coverDeath Overdue--Allison Brooke


MEOW

18. MC is paranormal: The Last Kids on Earth--Max Brallier


Ghosts, vampires, shape shifters....OH MY! 

The paranormal definition is pretty vague. Anything beyond scientific explanation. Think legendary creatures, mythical creatures and CRYPTIDS!
