Tara’s comments from the 2016 Choose Your Own Challenge Challenge group.

This should be way easier to find than an author with my initials!

The winner have just been released, lots of great ones, I'll likely read either Mindy Kaling's or Azis Ansari's for this prompt.

This is one I need! Since I was doing the 52 books challenge I didn't have time to read anything that didn't fit (especially since about September when the open prompts were pretty full and I had to really start planning my reads). For me this is a short list
To kill a mockingbird (reread, so I won't use it for this)
Go set a watchman
Food: a love story
Jane Eyre
The Dorito Effect
A Casual Vacancy

This could be very interesting. The best satires I have read personally are Animal Farm by George Orwell and A Modeste Proposal by Jonathan Swift (which is not a novel, it's more of an essay, but it is brilliant).

I read lots of books about different cultures, I think it would be interesting to do one completely out of my experience. Some that I've liked are a complicated kindness about Mennonites in Manitoba, in plain view by Jodi Picoult about an Amish girl charged with infanticide, the kite runner and a thousand splendid suns, infidel, secret daughter all about various middle eastern and Indian cultures, snow flower and the secret fan about Chinese culture in the days of foot binding.

Haha I actually got several of our prompts from that group! Welcome :)

This might be interesting. I read two about long hikes last year (Clara Hughes' and Wild) so a road trip would be an interesting follow up!

This could be interesting, I guess we can't plan this one so much. How are you planning on choosing? Just walk in, have someone else lead you to a random section with your eyes closed?

Anthologies, all the same poet, newer stuff, classics, kids. The world of poetry is endless!

This shouldn't be too hard, the lovely bones, go set a watchman and lots of others have blue covers. What is your choice for this one?

I actually love dystopias. I think Margaret Atwood's new book is of this genre and I plan on reading it anyway.

I got the book Food: a Love Story by Jim Gaffigan last year and didn't get a chance to read it so that will be my choice for this category.

This will be a tough one, I take this one as the original being written before the prequel.

I'm a teacher by training but a stay at home mom at the moment, what do you do?

I read several that were published in 2015, it'll be neat to see what pops up this year.

Here's a link to the list from her book club. Lots of great choices!

I'm not very political but I'm interested in what others will be reading for this one.

So many possibilities! Fiction? Memoir? What type of celeb? This is one I'm looking forward to although I haven't decided what I'll choose.

I'll admit I am not into this one lol what are you all thinking?

This one will probably be a prompt I'll leave open for now until I see one that moves me. Should be interesting to see what comes up!
