When I was looking over the prompts for 2020 and planning my list, it occurred to me that the books I wrote could hit quite a few of these, and since the group allows just a little bit of self-promotion, I wanted to throw this out there for anyone interested.
What We Need to Survive (book #1)
4. A book set in a time or place you wouldn't want to live (the American Midwest after a plague kills nearly everyone)
5. The first book in a series you have not started
16. A book set in a rural or sparsely populated area (again, the American Midwest after a plague kills nearly everyone)
22. A book with the major theme of survival
29. An underrated book, a hidden gem or a lesser known book (definitely lesser known)
43. A book related to one of the four horsemen of the apocalypse (you can make an argument for Death and/or Pestilence)
If you give it a try and like it, you can keep going with What We Need to Decide and hit another prompt from the same list, minus prompt #5.
And if you still like it and want to finish the series, the third book, What We Need to Rebuild, was published in 2017, qualifying it for #11, "a book originally published in a year that is a prime number."
I'm not expecting a huge swell of interest or anything--I'm sure a lot of us already have most of our lists for next year planned--but thanks for checking me out, if you do.
