🧩 Prompt #7: Light & ShadowType: Mirror Prompt
What this means:
This is a Mirror Prompt, so you and your partner will both use the same theme — but take opposite approaches.
For this one:
One of you picks Light — a story of hope, healing, goodness, or redemption. Think bright tone, uplifting arcs, or characters striving to do good.
The other picks Shadow — a darker tale with moral ambiguity, sorrow, hidden truths, or twisted motives. Think gritty, mysterious, or emotionally stormy.
📌 Once you’ve both finished reading, post your Story Stitch (your connection blurb) in the Check-In Thread to unlock your next prompt.
You can’t have one without the other — that’s what makes it a mirror. 🌞🌑
🧩 Prompt #6: Journey / StayType: Wildcard Prompt
What this means:
This is a Wildcard Prompt. Each of you chooses one side of the theme — one selects Journey, the other picks Stay.
Then your partner gives you three book options that match your chosen theme — and you’ll select one to read. Swapping roles after is optional — go for it if you’re up for an extra round!
For this one:
Journey can be literal (road trip, quest, adventure) or emotional (growth, change, discovery).
Stay could mean stillness, holding ground, protecting what’s familiar, or finding peace in one place or state of mind.
📌 Once you’ve both finished reading, post your Story Stitch (your connection blurb) in the Check-In Thread to unlock your next prompt.
Movement isn’t always the point — sometimes, it’s the choice that matters. 🚶‍♀️🛋️
Updated to here.
that will go well with Julien. I should get to that later this week
🧩 Prompt #2: Fact / FictionType: Wildcard Prompt
What this means:
This is a Wildcard Prompt, which means each of you will choose one side of the theme — one selects Fact, the other chooses Fiction.
Then, your partner gives you three book options that match your chosen side — and you pick one of those to read.
Optional Bonus: Once you're done, feel free to switch roles and repeat — but only if you want an extra round of fun!
For this one:
Fact can include nonfiction, memoirs, history, true crime, essays — anything rooted in reality.
Fiction can be absolutely anything made up: fantasy, sci-fi, contemporary, romance, or whatever story lives only in imagination.
📌 Once you’ve both finished reading, post your Story Stitch (your connection blurb) in the Check-In Thread to unlock your next prompt.
Truth or tale — it’s all part of the story. 📖📰
Love is usually easy for me as I read mostly romance. I am reading Jar City which would probably cover Loss. Also Julien as he deals with the death of his sister.
🧩 Prompt # 5: Love & LossType: Split Prompt
What this means:
This is a Split Prompt, so each of you will choose one side of the theme — one selects Love, the other picks Loss — and choose a book that fits your side.
For this one:
Love might focus on romance, friendship, devotion, passion, or deep connection between characters.
Loss might involve grief, separation, heartbreak, sacrifice, or the aftermath of letting go.
📌 Once you’ve both finished reading, post your Story Stitch (your connection blurb) in the Check-In Thread to unlock your next prompt.
Two of the most powerful forces in storytelling — sometimes tangled, always true. 💖💔

How it Fits: Shifters are not reality so that works for he other world
Book Bridge: Both books have groups of people who help those in need, The Marigold Cottage Murder Collective with finding houses and discounted rent. The Paranormal Enforcer Council with people who were kidnapped and rescued.
Just started this, but probably going to pause after a bit and read for Bachelor.
Great. I'm in that one too.
I'm ready tomorrow. It will help with Escape Room.
🧩 Prompt #4: Real World / Other WorldType: Split Prompt
What this means:
This is a Split Prompt, which means each of you picks one half of the paired theme and reads a book inspired by that choice. Your reads will be different, but thematically linked.
For this one:
One of you will pick a book grounded in the Real World — contemporary, historical fiction, memoir, or anything that feels rooted in reality.
The other will escape to the Other World — fantasy, magical realism, speculative fiction, or alternate realities. If it bends the rules of reality, it fits.
📌 Once you’ve both finished reading, post your Story Stitch (your connection blurb) in the Check-In Thread to unlock your next prompt.
Reality or fantasy — both have stories worth telling. 🌍✨
my shifter book is about shifters who find others who have been kidnapped and helps them find their feet again with house, jobs and stuff like that. sounds like the start of a bridge there.
I'm currently reading a shifter book that I could probably get to work for other world
