I love these suggestions around our 10 year anniversary!
Mie, would you mind if I added "'s ATY challenge" for clarification?A book that fits prompt no. 25 of a previous year's ATY challenge
It's time for our next round of suggestions!Just a reminder that you can find a full list of prompts already on the 2025 list in the third post on this thread.
How Suggestions Work:
- The topics for the 2025 reading challenge list will be determined by a series of mini-polls, the number of which depends on the number of prompts winning in each mini-polls
- Suggestions for each poll will be opened until 15 suggestions are received and “seconded”.
- The voting thread will open the day after suggestions go live. You can find the schedule here.
Rules:
- Each member can only suggest OR second one prompt
- Suggestions close after 15 total seconded prompts
When suggesting and seconding, feel free to provide examples and descriptions that may help other members understand the prompt better. These descriptions and examples will be copied over to the voting thread for further discussion.
As always, please express any and all feedback (respectfully, of course), either here or in The Wild Discussion.

Lynn, I would definitely wait until later in the polls to submit that one. It's notorious for not making it in the earlier rounds but clinching the spot later on!
I've fixed it NancyJ. I had some issues with it this morning (I made it last night before I went to sleep) and I've had to repaste the link a few times. Should be working now!
I’m admittedly VERY bad at following the Wild Discussion, so I’m excited to see what prompts come up tomorrow during suggestions.
Half the time I’m disappointed in October but when January rolls around, I’ve completely forgotten what I liked and didn’t like. All part of the game!
Mushroom prompt had as many upvotes as the winners, but the downvotes kept it out of the top. Not enough to be polarizing, but enough to keep it from getting through.
It’s a running joke at this point. Someone adds it to the list every year whenever we choose this prompt, even though it will never be published lol
Siobhan, I totally agree. The serpentine one was a lot of fun to look for possibilities on my TBR.
