Marie | 1060 comments I read Claire DeWitt and the City of the Dead by Sara Gran for the prompt A book about a natural disaster or where a natural disaster is central to the plot.

When we're doing the voting process, I look to see what books I have for every prompt before I vote. Sometimes there's a perfect match, so good that if that prompt doesn't get in it would feel like a waste not to use it, and this is one of those pairings.

Joanne | 477 comments I just managed to squeeze this one into the last week of 2020. I read We Should All Be Feminists by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie and chose the prompt: A book with at least a 4.4 average rating on Goodreads

I just chose a short book and looked for a prompt it would fit, since I was short on time.
