Where does this book fit?

Sing, Unburied, Sing is about a family. I also think it could work for the ghost story prompt, since ghosts figure prominently in the story. And you can also use it for the "favorite past prompt" because last year had a "recommended by another reader" prompt and I absolutely recommend this book to anyone. It's fantastic.

From the description, it sounds like it would fit the amateur detective prompt since the sister tries to find out what happened. Otherwise, maybe item of clothing on the cover or meant to read in 2018?

ehh, I might go with the clothing prompt... thank you!

The Good Reads description calls it a ghost story, so it could use that prompt? I haven't read it so I can't confirm.

We have a ghost story prompt. It might fit there.

Luminary - a natural light-giving body, especially the sun or moon
The title itself is an astrological term so you can definitely use for the "zodiac sign or astrological term in title".


A Debut Novel
Becomin..."
Thanks. I already had debut and celebrity done. The other 2 I already have books on the shelf for. Was hoping it would fit one of the ones I don't have anything for but I couldn't see how either.

I have a few Kindle unlimited books to finish up by the end of the month. Any ideas on where they could go??
Verity by Colleen Hoover( ATY -Psychological thriller)
Beneath a Scarlet Sky(PS- Based on a true story)
The Woman on the Orient Express(ATY- a journey)
The Selection(ATY- Spec. Fiction)
The Day the World Came to Town: 9/11 in Gander, Newfoundland(???? wanted to read it last year when I heard about it so PS #9, or maybe it would be a good movie? IDK)
The Song of Achilles( Mythology, duh... PS # 12, or book riot or both)
The Turner House (PS- about a family)
and
Hello, Universe( PS- takes place in a day)
I'm sure I won't get to them all, but I don't want to read them if I can't fit them into one of my ( too many ) challenges.
The fact that I found places for them all doesn't help me prioritize what to read here LOL

Does it all take place on one day? The title kinda sounds like it would

Oh shit LOL.... I haven't even looked at page counts. Hopefully it reads quick and keeps my attention. Thanks for the heads up :-)

Does it all take place over one day?..."
It looks like its 4 days total :/

@Carolyn
Less also fills the Advanced #ownvoices prompt.

The only prompts I could think of are the more general ones, e.g., should be turned into a movie.
Another option would be to read another book with the same title and check off the advanced prompt with 2 books with the same title.

It would make a pretty killer movie tbh.
I've also considered the "same title" prompt, there is another book called Pandemic that looks really good. Thanks!

I have it on my list for prompt #14, a book being read in a tv show or movie - I can't remember why, though. But I definitely put it there for a reason!

I think it's fair to count Pearl Buck as an author from Asia.
Other possibilities: clothing/accessory on cover (at least, the cover I'm looking at features a woman seen from the back, holding parasol), and it looks like it might be about a family.

I love to listen to Neil Patrick Harris voice, so I started this audiobook.

I'd say you could use it for "A book that has inspired a common phrase or idiom" since many people know what is meant when you call someone "Jekyll/Hyde".

oh that is an amazing idea!! thank you so much!

#4 - liked to see turned into a movie
#17 - college or university campus (depending on how strict you are - only some of it is set there)
#28 - recommended by celebrity you admire - Nicholas Sparks, if you admire him (you might find others)
#31 - book about a family (this is the one I would personally use)

Barack Obama recommended it also.
Something in the Water would make a decent movie, it's a debut novel, it's sort of an amateur detective (I mean, she's sort of trying to solve the mystery of where the bag came from and who, if anyone, is following her), and I'm pretty sure it's set in fall if you want to wait until then to read it. Parts of it might be in winter, actually, so maybe if you read it right now it's set in this season? I didn't like it so I don't remember much about it!

Would it be considered a ghost story? Does Dan Torres have what would be considered a super power?

I read Snow White Must Die, which doesn't fit in "Inspired by myth/legend" category (which is what I read it for), however it does fit for advanced prompt "A book with no chapters/unusal chapter headings/unconventionally numbered chapters". It just has dates, not chapters. It's also set in winter so would work for #44 too, depending on when you read it.


A book becoming a movie in 2019.
A book featuring an imaginary creature.
A book with a two-word title.


I have done prompts 2,4,9, 10, 11, 16, 18, 19, 21, 24, 25, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 33, 34, 35, 36, 39, 40 (for all previous years), and 49.

Can one of your already read books be moved to another challenge so that Eleanor can fit? I had to do that with a couple on my list.
Or be a little soft on challenge #1 as it will be a movie...just not in 2019?

Might find a spot for it in ATY

Persuasion would fit the prompt - a book published posthumously.

Oh boy, you're right! I took the dust jacket off, so it would stay nice and totally forgot about the trees. Thanks!
