Where does this book fit?

[Krista]

I was wondering where The Ghost Map by Steven Johnson could fit in?

[Ashley]

I'm currently reading Dragonfly in Amber and will be starting The Clockmaker's Daughter soon. Any thoughts on where I should put these ones?

Dragonfly in Amber could fit in "about a family" or "book with a wedding"
The Clockmaker's Daughter could be used for "revolving around a puzzle" since it's a mystery

[Heather]

Dragonfly in Amber would work for a book about a family. Parts of the book take place in a hospital connected to a convent. The Clockmaker's Daughter would work for a ghost story.

I used it for prompt #2. 'A book that makes you nostalgic'. I devoured this series when I was a kid. :)

[Sandra]

Does anyone have any suggestions for The War Outside? Thanks :)

[Simone]

About family, Sandra. I haven't read it but it sounds like multiple POV could fit if the use both girls as narrators.

[Abi]

Any suggestions for Only Ever Yours?

I'm thinking "A book you think should be turned into a movie". It looks like the rights were signed over for a movie in 2015 but has yet to be produced. So it should still count.
Also, it appears to be the author's first book, so it could be "A debut novel".

[Karissa]

I just bought *A Little History of the World* by E.H. Gombrich and I'm having a hard time figuring out where to include it in my list. any suggestions?

[Elle]

Trying to get to these books this year. Any idea on where they could fit in the challenge? ~Thanks!

-Big Little Lies, Liane Moriarty
-Shantaram, Gregory David Roberts
-She's Come Undone, Wally Lamb
-The Lovely Bones, Alice Sebold
-The Alienist, Caleb Carr
-Jitterbug Perfume, Tom Robbins
-The Husband's Secret, Liane Moriarty
-The Nix, Nathan Hill
-I Hear She's A Bitch, Jen Agg
-The Incendiaries, R. O. Kwon

[Simone]

The husband's secret would fit the family prompt

[Simone]

The Alienist is amateur detective, even though the female character and 2 of the fingerprint guys work for the police. The 2 main male characters are not police.

[SadieReadsAgain]

Incendiaries - 32 author from Asia
Lovely Bones - 36 ghost story
She's Come Undone - 11 clothing on the cover (my version has a dress on a dress form)

Where would Daisy Jones and the Six fit? Besides a celebrity book pick. Thank you!

[Harry]

Where would Anam Cara: A Book of Celtic Wisdom by John O'Donohuefit? Thank you.

[Jackie]

Harry wrote: "Where would Anam Cara: A Book of Celtic Wisdom by John O'Donohuefit? Thank you."

I'm thinking it could be: 12. A book inspired by myth/legend/folklore

Big Little Lies - book about a family; multiple POVs - there are quotes from different characters about what their perception of what happened that night

Lovely Bones - at least one million ratings; "love" in the title; about a family; ghost story; two-word title

Thanks but I already filled that one with The Gospel of Loki.

Published in 2019 or plant in the title?

[Isabel]

Daisy Jones and the Six would also fit in a book that should be a movie or a book that makes you nostalgic, depending on your age.

[Heather]

monica gaither wrote: "Where would Daisy Jones and the Six fit? Besides a celebrity book pick. Thank you!"

I used it for book without chapters/unusual chapter headings.

[Bhavna]

Hi where can My Sister, the Serial Killer by Oyinkan Braithwaite fit? Thanks

[Nadine in NY]

"My Sister ... " is a debut novel, you may think it would make a good movie, the author is from Africa, and maybe you meant to read it in 2018? (It was published at the end of the year.)

I'm only 2 chapters in, but I'm using it as "should be made into a movie" because...sister serial killer LOL. I hope it delivers.

[Jackie]

Bhavna wrote: "Hi where can My Sister, the Serial Killer by Oyinkan Braithwaite fit? Thanks"

The author lives in Lagos, Nigeria - "32. A book author from Asia, Africa, or South America"

Possibly also - "31. A book about a family"

[Bhavna]

Thanks. Can My Sister, the Serial Killer by Oyinkan Braithwaite fit into any of the previous year's prompts?

[Nadine in NY]

There is ALWAYS a previous previous prompt that works!! I think it was 2015 that had a category for "author under 30" - that would fit here. I'm sure a bunch more would work too.

[Aly]

I'm reading The Lady from the Black Lagoon: Hollywood Monsters and the Lost Legacy of Milicent Patrick and I'm having a hard time finding a place for it. Any ideas?

[Sarah]

@Bhavna I'm certain there was a prompt for family member in the title one year

[Stacy]

Any suggestions on where The Woman in the Window by A.J. Finn would fit?

[SadieReadsAgain]

Haha, I was going to say in the bin, but that's a bit shady! To explain - I was going to read this but I've decided against that after reading some revelations about the author.

But I was going to use it for "book becoming a movie in 2019" so you could slot it in there.

I was considering "published in 2019," so I guess I'll go with that. Thanks!

Any idea where Twist of Faith would fit? I just got it off the waiting list at the library and now I can't remember why I requested it...none of my friends have read it and I don't have it listed anywhere for the challenge. I'm so confused!

That's happened to me a few times lately. I hate that.

I've done that a few times lately as well. I'm sure it is because it sounded good based on a description in this group, but it can be confusing.

I haven't read it but based on description possibly ameteur detective and she's investigating her history?

[Sarah]

I was originally going to read two books called Silver but I hated the first one I tried. I still want to read Silver if I can find somewhere for it to fit. Any suggestions?

[Drakeryn]

Imaginary creatures? Possibly a good movie?
