Challenge prompts

1. Features found family: Apples Never Fall--Liane Moriarty

2. An Indigenous Author: The Night Watchman--Louise Erdrich

3. Trilogy Book 1: The Kiss Quotient--Helen Hoang

4. Trilogy Book 2: The Bride Test--Helen Hoang

6. Stairs on the cover: Peril in Paperback--Kate Carlisle

7. A Choose Your Own Adventure book: Unicorn Princess--Shannon Gilligan

8. An Indie Author: First Trip--Cheryl Taylor

9. A book that scares you: City on Fire--Garth Risk Hallberg

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 it: The 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 book: Remember 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. 

13. Fire on the cover: Firekeeper's Daughter--Angeline Boulley

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 name: Layover--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 cover: Death 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! 

19. Read your book while you eat lunch: Maigret and the Headless Corpse--Georges Simenon

20. A title that begins with W: Where To, Little Wombat?--Charles Fuge

21. A title that begins with I: It Happened One Autumn--Lisa Kleypas

22. A title that begins with T: Three Stations--Martin Cruz Smith

23. A title that begins with C: Conversations With Friends--Sally Rooney

24. A title that begins with H: The Hating Game--Sally Thorne

bonus
25. A title that uses ALL the letters in your first name: Jemima J--Jane Green

It just needs to use all the letters in your name- does not have to be in order!!
