Fool by Christopher Moore. I found the humor more Benny Hill than Douglas Adams, and it kept retreading the same tone-deaf jokes. 2/5 It was on my TBR, and it just happened to fit, so I didn't have to look around for a book that fit. Short titles are probably the key.

For this topic I read Eggs on Ice by Laura Childs This is a cozy in the series about the Cackleberry Shop. Always an enjoyable quick readhttps://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

1. What are you reading for this category?I finished Circe by Madeline Miller, I enjoyed it
2. Was it difficult to find titles that fit?
Not at all
1) Queenie by Candice Carty-Williams2)I didn't think so until I realized I overlooked an 'A' on the original book I had picked out for this prompt.
What are you reading for this category?Police, by Jo Nesbo
2. Was it difficult to find titles that fit?
It definitely was challenging. Most book titles tend to have the letter ‘t’.
I read Gone Girl as this fit and I have been meaning to read it for awhile. There were a few books that fit this prompt.
This prompt was a lot harder than I thought! I read :
1. A Book with a Title that Doesn't Contain the Letters A, T or Y: Recursion by Blake Crouch
Like Dark Matter I found Recursion to be a really interesting scify read and I thought it was unique and thoroughly enjoyed it.
I am going to read Smile by Roddy Doyle. I had some difficulty finding a book for this topic. For most of this year I was going to my library and choosing ones at random. A friend of mine pointed this out for me after I told her I was having trouble.
Sooooo just a thought/question for general discussion - I noticed Rivers of London was one of the suggestions for this prompt, and I happened to read it this month...but in a copy with the Midnight Riots title. (US vs UK I think.) "Midnight Riots" doesn't work for the prompt. But the alternate title does. Would you count it if it were you? I'm just curious, more than anything else. :)

Personally? No, but I have lots of other options that work.

I read Spinning Silver for this. It was already on my TBR so it wasn't hard to find a book for this.
1. What are you reading for this category?I re-read Catching Fire. Every year, I like to re-read at least one series.
2. Was it difficult to find titles that fit?
This prompt was easy to find and fill since I wanted to read this one at some point this year.
1. What are you reading for this category? I read Mr. Fox by Helen Oyeyemi
2. Was it difficult to find titles that fit?
It was relatively easy to find something to fit. I am trying to read a book by every author (that I haven't read already) on the Abe List of 100 Essential Female Writers. I started looking around at books by these authors and I found this one. What was difficult was following the plot of this book.

1. What are you reading for this category?I read Becoming by Michelle Obama. I rated it ALL the stars. :)
2. Was it difficult to find titles that fit?
No, I also have read Goldilocks (Laura Lam) and Drive this year and still have Gone, Swing, Go, Kindred, Inferno and Origin on my TBR!
I will be reading 'Welcome Home' by Margaret Dickinson. It seems hard to find titles without A T Y. I think I may have actually read this before but will still enjoy it.
I chose Drops of Gold by Sarah M. Eden for this prompt; it's an "old" favorite for me. I had many choices for this prompt.
I read Broken Promise by Linwood Barclay. I had few other options for this prompt, but really wanted to read this. I enjoyed it.
