50x66 I think this will be a bit of a challenge for me, I tend to wait to watch movies after I've read the book. I'm thinking I may be able to do a rom com or something like that that I didn't necessarily know was a book. I Don't Know Hpw She Does It (Sarah Jessica Parker) was a book I think.

50x66 Are you planning on reading a memoir? Biography? Psychology book? Fiction with a protagonist with mental illness? There are many beautifully written books about mental illness.

50x66 I didn't choose this one, but historical fiction can be really great. What are you thinking of you chose this prompt? All the Light we Cannot See and The Other Boleyn Girl were a couple of my favourites.
50x66 I'm planning on reading at least one more of jk rowling's Robert Galbraith books anyway, I highly recommend :)

50x66 I feel like this will go hand in hand with movies but I usually read these anyway so shouldn't be a horrible prompt.

50x66 Inside the O'Briens was great! If you like Still Alice, you'd like this. It was similar in feel and narrative but almost opposite in a lot of ways (physical disease vs mental, male power vs female intellect etc) I read it for my book that came out this year.
50x66 I'm taking this less than literally and choosing to use it as a book that is part of a series' story but not in the original series. Like an adjunct to a series such as any number of companion books. I'm going to read Four which is the Divergent story from Four's perspective.

50x66 I don't think I chose this one because I will definitely need to continue reading the series if I start! That could derail my whole year if it's a long series lol I may check out the Maze Runner series though anyway.

50x66 Check out what Goodreads suggests and pick one. This could be interesting :)

50x66 We could open up a whole new world if we allow celeb baby first names!
50x66 The original had "how" as well so that's up to you but I didn't count it because it doesn't fit :)

50x66 I just finished it for a book I was supposed to read in school :) I found it good but depressing

50x66 Lots of possibility here. I can't actually remember if I chose this prompt but if I did (and maybe still if I didn't, I can always add to it!) I'd go with Little Women. Other possibilities are Charlottes Web, Alice in Wonderland, Stuart Little. What books come to mind when you think childhood classic?

50x66 Calling all Gilmore Girl fans! I also love this prompt! There are loads of books on the RG list and it seems like a fun challenge. I think everyone could find something they'd like on this list(there are over 300!) Here it is for anyone who's interested.

50x66 I like this one too. Is it a classic writer whom everyone loves like Jane Austen or Shakespeare (although if you went to school I doubt you could get around reading him lol) a popular, prolific author like Stephen King, Nicholas Sparks or Agatha Christie. A more recent author who writes current popular books like Stephanie Meyer, John Green, or Suzanne Collins? Personally I think I'll go with Stephen King or Nicholas Sparks both of whom have been on tbr lists of mine forever!

50x66 This one is awesome! I love it! I read a couple of these last year. I think you could count this as 2 prompts if you decided to read the original and the mentioned book.
Dante's Inferno in Dan Brown's Inferno
20,000 Leagues Under the Sea in All the Light we Cannot See
Wuthering Heights in Twilight
These are some that I read both of (the first 4 I read for this year's challenge)

50x66 This one should be interesting but we'll need some suggestions! Inkheart is about books, so is The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafon.

50x66 I think you could use your goodreads want to read list and read the one with the highest overall rating or you could interpret it as your number one tbr. My highest rated right now is Bone (graphic novel) number 7 with 4.35 stars so I may have to read 4, 5, and six first! Although I can't remember if I chose this prompt anyway. What's highest rated on your tbr?
