Hello! Sorry if it's been posted already, but does anyone know where This Is How It Always Is could fit in our lovely reading challenge list? Thanks :)

Thanks Stephanie! I may have to move books around to fit the prompts but that's so much better than not including it. :)
I just started reading Finding Jake by Bryan Reardon. Does anyone have a recommendation where to put it? I have already put books in these categories: a book I think should be a movie, one told from multiple POV, one that takes place in a single day, a debut novel, a book about a family, a book with a two word title and a few others. I'm hoping to find a category I haven't already used. Thank you!
Surprise Me by Sophie KinsellaSaving Ceecee Honeycutt
any ideas?
Could A Monster Calls be considered having a plant on the cover? It's part of a tree. I know it's stretching it, but I'm trying to fit it in a prompt I haven't filled yet.

Personally, I don't think that's stretching it at all. It is a tree. A tree is a plant. :)
Hi! Where would A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens and I Know This Much Is True by Wally Lamb fit?
Can anyone think of a fit for Everything, Everything? I've seen people suggest "two words," but I already got Julius Caesar.
I've seen people suggest "no chapters, unusual chapter headings, etc.," but I already got Night.
Unless anyone has a better place for Julius Caesar or Night that I can move them to and put Everything, Everything in their place?
It's got plants on the cover, and according to Goodreads it's the author's debut novel.

Does anyone have a suggestion for where The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas would fit? Thanks.

-Book recommended by a celebrity (this is a guess, but I expect someone out there recommended it)
-Book about a family
-An Own Voices book
Any suggestions for Crimes Against a Book Club or The Testaments? The first one is a book club book and, as a huge Margaret Atwood fan, I had to read the sequel. I already have Modern Romance for Two Word Title and Maybe You Should Talk to Someone: A Therapist, Her Therapist, and Our Lives Revealed as Book Published in 2019. But maybe I could switch some things around...
Stephanie wrote: "Any suggestions for Crimes Against a Book Club or The Testaments? The first one is a book club book and, as a huge Margaret Atwood fan, I had to read the sequel..."I used The Testaments for an item of clothing or accessory on the cover. Maybe stretch it to a book with a wedding or you can see if you can find anyone reading it on TV, I'm sure it's had loads of coverage.
Hi! I'm slowly but surely making my way through the prompts- but I can't seem to find places for these:Unbreakable
Unmarked
The Unbound
Dark Triumph
Does anyone have suggestions? Thanks!
I’m currently readingThe Princess Brideby William Goldman. I saw somewhere that someone was using this for the idiom or common phrase prompt but forgot what that phrase was. I haven’t come upon anything yet. Any ideas of other prompts this works for?
Lisa wrote: "I’m currently readingThe Princess Brideby William Goldman. I saw somewhere that someone was using this for the idiom or common phrase prompt but forgot what that phrase was. I haven’t ..."A previous fave category-a childhood classic you've never read.
A book you've seen read in a movie. Peter FAlk actually reads it to fred Savage in The Princess Bride.

As you wish.
I do not think that words means what you think it means.
Have fun storming the castle!
Inconceivable!
You seem a decent fellow, I hate to kill you.
Never go in (up?) against a Sicilian when death is on the line!
MOST but not all of those are from the book. (I think the “castle” one is from the movie only.)

I haven’t ..."Hi Lisa! I haven't read the book but I have seen the movie. The two phrases I can think of (from the movie) are 'inconceivable' and 'as you wish'. I'm wondering if maybe those are the phrases?

I think I’m going more for “common phrase” with The Princess Bride. My husband uses “have fun storming the castle” everytime I leave the house. Going grocery shopping? “Have fun storming the castle” he’ll say. I’m not sure if he knows where the reference came from.

I just started Playing Dead about a woman who researches/tries to fake her own death. Would this fall under any of the categories? I thought maybe the hobby one (maybe research as a hobby), but that might be stretching it.
Just read The Nickel Boys by Colson Whitehead inspired by a true story, but I've got something in that category (if that category is part of this group... I'm also doing ATY and Bookriot)
Mod
I just finished that too! great book.
Maybe you think it should be turned into a movie?
This is a stretch, but (view spoiler).
You could find a celebrity who recommended it.
You could ignore the "The" and call it a title with two words.
There is ALWAYS another prompt from a past challenge that would work.
It's "own voices."
Currently reading Americanah but I'm stuck on what prompt to use. I've already filled the obvious prompt of a book by an author from Asia, Africa or South America.Also looking for a place for The Lost City of the Monkey God. Any help is appreciated!

Americanah fits the advanced prompt for an own voices book and I think, technically, The Lost City is inspired by a legend so you could use it for that prompt.
Hope that helps.
I was thinking of reading Women Talking by Miriam Toews for the 2020 Popsugar Challenge but have no idea what prompt it might fit. Any suggestions?
Harry wrote: "I was thinking of reading Women Talking by Miriam Toews for the 2020 Popsugar Challenge but have no idea what prompt it might fit.

I'm counting The Road as cli-fi, too. I don't recommend The Road as a good book, but I tortured myself reading the whole thing and believe it comes within the definition of cli-fi.
