2. A book with one of the 5 W's in the title (Who, What, Where, When, Why)

[Ashley]

I read What Have You Done. I got this from First Reads as a free book as I have Amazon Prime. It sounded interesting and fit this category.

[Jeimy]

I read The Girl Who Stopped Swimming by Joshilyn Jackson. I found the book by searching the word "Who" on Libby.

I also read this one for the prompt and ended up liking it a lot more than I thought I would. I really liked how she used the "friend" to tell the story, who also became part of the story itself ... it was clever and ended up being more nuanced than I thought it would be. Have you seen the movie? I'd be interested to see how it translated to the big screen.

By the title. This question is a favorite in my aresenal of questions I ask at work. (Although, perhaps sometimes asked with more attitude than it should...)

This is new to me but sounds fascinating!

What Katy Did by Susan Coolidge

[Karen]

I just finished See What I Have Done by Sarah Schmidt for this prompt. I enjoyed it, even though almost none of the people in the book were likeable; it was just an interesting story.

I came across a review of the book once and added it to my TBR. This is how I find a lot of my reads.

[Samantha]

- What are you reading for this category? What We Were Promised
- How did you find the book? It was on my TBR

[Jody]

Actually that reminds me, we have had drive through bottle shops (liquor stores) in Australia since at least back when I was a kid in the 80s ... it’s obvious where our priorities lie. 😂 We had drive through fast food and coffee places last time I was there (2014) but not a whole heap else, but things have probably changed since then!

I wasn't sure what I was going to read for this week. I had a few ideas but it looks like I will be reading Who Slays the Wicked by C.S. Harris.

- How did you find the book?
I got lucky and won a copy from GR Giveaways. I don't know anything about the author or series. This one is #14. The other 13 books in the series all start with one of the 5 Ws, also.

Thanks Cheri for this book idea! It works for 2 of my challenges- around the world and translated lit! I'm definitely going to try to find it.

I loved Drinking Coffee Elsewhere! Read it years ago.

[ladymurmur]

I read The Girl Who Saved Ghosts by K.C. Tansley for this category. I found the title by skimming through the list of books that I'd already read this year for any of the 5 W's. Read this one because it was the next title of a series starting with U that I needed for an alphabet challenge.

Added the first in this series to my TBR listing. (I hate the covers!) This sounds like a good one to start! Thanks for posting!

You're welcome, Lynn. I hope you enjoy it (and agree about the covers)! The premise and world is unique for most of the UF and YA that I've read recently, and it made for a refreshing change.

I've discovered so many good reads thanks to recommendations & choices posted in reading challenges. Glad to know that I can pass the joy along. :-)

Definitely!

[Stacey]

Agreed, Cheri! There are just so many great choices for this category. I chose this memoir When We Were the Kennedys: A Memoir from Mexico, Maine, because I loved the reviews...and the title.

This was a tricky one for me as there aren't a lot of chonks with these words in the title. I think I just ended up coming across this in my travels and was very happy to see that it was just over 500 pages.

Since I'm running behind this year, and I'm running out of time, I started looking desperately for a short read. Then I remembered this classic from my childhood. So I guess I found it by searching my brain, lol.

[Andrea]

For this prompt, I read What I'd Say to the Martians and Other Veiled Threats by Jack Handey. In order to find a suitable read, I searched my nearest physical TBR pile. Low and behold I actually had three books that would have qualified!
