Where does this book fit?

There's a movie based on it, so maybe prompt #1 if you go and watch that first, or Advanced #8 (a microhistory)."

Thanks

You could also watch the movie and use it for #1, or use it for the advanced #9 as a problem facing society today.

Hey Guys. Having trouble finding a prompt for Bared to You...its a bit embarrassing but I felt like some light hearted romance :)

[Nikky]

You should never be embarrassed by what you read, at least you’re still reading something! My bookshelves look like at least 3 different people own then with all the completely different genres on there :) xx

[Emma]

Thanks Nicky! I'm a bit the same, one reason I love this challenge is because I get to read so many different types of books 😀

[Johanne]

I haven´t really got any ideas for Bared to you. But I also like me some romance, and am also a bit embarrassed about it; I only recently started adding romance reads to GR. My "read" shelf here on GR is also completely mixed, and looks like I either have some kind of personality disorder or it´s an entire family using the same account.

My book pile is a tad eclectic as well. I have Murder Mysteries, thrillers, gothic literature, Nordic noir, sci fi, fantasy, indie, supernatural and general fiction. And they range from The Rúin by Dervla Mc Tiernan which was released last week or the week before back to Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier. And that’s just the pile of 12 beside my chair that I brought to the beach with me. I didn’t know what I’d feel like so I brought a nice selection. My iPad also has around 1000 books on it. My read folder includes all genres nearly and has everything from middle school to YA to adult books.

[Shannon]

I'm laughing because I feel like I've become a book hoarder! There's a pile by my chair, three shelves full in the den plus the full shelves in the guest room, and I don't know how many on my two Kindles. Must read faster, must read faster! ;)

[Cendaquenta]

Goodness, and I thought 100+ unread Kindle books was bad...

This is me! Bringing a huge pile of books, because, you never know what you feel like reading, right? And the horror if you run out of books!! *gasp* It has never happened, but you know how it is with irrational fears. When packing to go somewhere, I always think a long time about what books to bring. Clothes? I´ll just bring what I have that´s weather appropriate...

Sister Carrie was made into a movie, if you're not picky about which order is the read vs watched. There's also a stage version of it.

There's also a song called Sister Carrie: http://www.musicanet.org/robokopp/usa... (I'm guessing it's tied to the stage version.)

Hamlet is referenced in Something Rotten. (As well as in a million other things I'm sure.)

[Jacqueline]

I also bought some new and second hand books the other day but they didn’t make it into the pile beside my chair.

I have so many books in boxes it’s not funny from the last 30 years moving around. All of the kids books and my books I’ve read as an adult. I have my Mums old books in a massive sea trunk (at the house she used to live in that I now own) that looks like a treasure chest. It is treasure of a sort. I also have boxes of my books from when I was a kid down there. So many boxes. In the last few months I’ve bought enough new and second hand books to fill a large bookcase with heaps of books left over. My son gave me $500 at Christmas and told me to go out and buy books. I have.

Yeah more thought went into packing the books than the clothes but basically I just chucked all of my favourite clothes in. My suitcase is a tad heavy but I can handle it lol Where I am at the beach the temp is in the high 20s/low 30s most days. Perfect sundress weather. I’m also going to be at our farm up in the mountains. The days are low 20s and the nights are around 12. Sometimes the days are around 15 and the nights are closer to 5. Celsius by the way. I can wear jeans and a shirt or a dress. Some days I have to wear a jumper. It’s all over the place up there at this time of year. So basically I have to pack for summer and autumn and winter. Just as well I have a car so it doesn’t matter how much I bring.

I can't find anywhere to fit: Leaving Las Vegas or Under the Volcano (I've already checked off the country that fascinates you prompt as well as villain/anithero).

Anyone care to help? :)

[Nikky]

Leaving Las Vegas can be alliteration xx

There's some song lyrics with Under the Volcano in: https://www.lyrics.com/lyrics/under%2...

Is Leaving Las Vegas the John O'Brien book? And if so, have you watched the movie? (book where you´ve already seen the film)
And "Leaving Las Vegas" is a song by Sheryl Crow (song lyrics in title)

I just finished reading ‘once we were brothers’. This is a story split in two time zones, present day (2004) and during the 2nd world war.

Great story - anyone know what prompt it could fill?

[Lenore]

I'm reading Gulliver's Travels by Jonathan Swift. Does this fit any of the categories?

[Nadine in NY]

Gulliver could (possibly?) be a childhood classic, or an allegory, or a movie you've seen ...

[Lenore]

Thank you Nadine!! I haven't seen the movie, but I can definitely use it for allegory. Is it considered a children's book?

[Nadine in NY]

Some people consider it a children's book and some people don't. It's a gray area?

[Nikky]

Defo consider it a children’s book it was given time as a child in a bundle of classics xx

It's also referenced in The Map of Time for a book mentioned in another book.

[Aileen]

Any idea where A Briefer History of Time or Through the Woods can fit? I guess I can use author of a different ethnicity, but I was already going to use that for Shadow and Bone, which I've already started

[Nadine in NY]

Through the Woods is a graphic novel, that was a previous category (Last year's was "book with pictures" but I think the year before was "graphic novel" - either works), so you could use that. Not sure about the Hawking.

I haven't read A Briefer History of Time--is there any chance he gets into relativity or quantum physics enough to count it as a book on time travel?

[Cendaquenta]

Anyone have any ideas for where The Mermaid and Mrs Hancock might fit? All I can think of is "published in 2018" and I've already fulfilled that one.

What about prompt 40. Your favorite prompt from the 2015, 2016, or 2017 POPSUGAR Reading Challenges? I found that it actually fits a few of of the prompts from 2017. Here's link if you want to take look https://www.popsugar.com/love/Reading-Challenge-2017-42561300
If the link doesn't work you might have to copy & paste

I have loved reading David Grann's books - would like to read his The Devil & Sherlock Holmes: Tales of Murder, Madness & Obsession. Where can I fit it?

[Raquel (Silver Valkyrie Reads)]

Bhavna wrote: "I have loved reading David Grann's books - would like to read his The Devil & Sherlock Holmes: Tales of Murder, Madness & Obsession. Where can I fit it?"

True Crime is the obvious answer, if you haven't filled that prompt yet. And a book about murder obviously is about death in some way, so there's the 'death and grief' prompt as well.

[Kacey]

Has any one read The Madman’s Daughter? Does it fill any prompts? I'm about to start it for a monthly group read in a different group, and i was hoping i could also use it here.

[Cendaquenta]

Possibly "a book about a villain or antihero"?

[Bhavna]

Wanted to read - Alex by Pierre Lemaitre - where can I fit it?

[Nancy]

Beside alliteration, what prompts would the book Julie and Julia fit?

[Jennifer]

Julie and Julia would be a novel based on a real person.

[Bhavna]

Where would Lake House by Kate Morton fit in?

[Raquel (Silver Valkyrie Reads)]

Bhavna wrote: "Where would Lake House by Kate Morton fit in?"

I haven't read it, but it looks like it would fit previous year's prompt for 2017 'set in multiple time periods'. Not sure beyond that...

[Jacqueline]

The Lake House was a movie wasn't it? Book of a movie you've already seen maybe?

[Tara]

If I’m not mistaken I thought the lake house was not based on that book, I think it came out before the book.

[Raquel (Silver Valkyrie Reads)]

There was a movie called The Lake House, but it doesn't look like the same story.

[Tara]

Just looked it up; Mortins Book was released in 2015, the movie (with Sandra bullock) came out in 2006. So not the same.

[Jacqueline]

I stand corrected.........

[Ariel]

Any ideas on where to put Horns by Joe Hill?

[Aimee Dars]

Ariel wrote: "Any ideas on where to put Horns by Joe Hill?"

Maybe villain/antihero?

[Raquel (Silver Valkyrie Reads)]

Ariel wrote: "Any ideas on where to put Horns by Joe Hill?"

It looks like 'death and grief' would be appropriate from the synopsis. Possibly mental health as well?

[Bridget]

Has anyone read A Midwives Confession by Diane Chamberlain? Any idea where it would fit?

Also, Im reading Firefly Lane by Kristin Hannah and am not sure where that might fit?

Thanks!!

[Bhavna]

Want to read Jill Mansell's - Meet me at Beachcomber's Bay and This Could Change Everything - where can I fit them?

Just read We Should All Be Feminists and Dear Ijeawele, or a Feminist Manifesto in Fifteen Suggestions. Do these fit into any prompts?

There were past prompts for "short book" and "book with number in title" so you could use that (but you've probably checked that one already)
Also she mentions Nigerian culture so if you are fascinated by Nigeria ... it could work. Or if you are not Nigerian, she is an author of another ethnicity.
