For the book based on a movie prompt, have you thought of a book based on a documentary? I think a documentary would be a subgenre of "movie".

I found 2040: A Handbook for the Regeneration I haven't seen the documentary, but it's called 2040 and is about ways of approaching climate change - growing trees, replenishing oceans, building sustainable community and such.

Damon Gameau was the creator of the documentary, as well as the follow up book.

I'm sure there are other options, although now I'm intrigued by this film and book!

@Ron do you enjoy poetry? There are lots of poetry collections that don't quite fit into fiction or non-fiction.

Thanks, hadn't really considered those.

Thanks for the heads-up on that one. I don't watch documentaries, but I can certainly give it a go.

And now that you mention a documentary, the one book that came up in my head just now was this one. It's a book that goes more in-depth from the documentary 'Blackfish':

Beneath the Surface: Killer Whales, SeaWorld, and the Truth Beyond Blackfish

I think I'll end up going this route so thanks for bringing up the documentaries otherwise I would not have thought of it.

My pleasure - I think I may go this route too.

The only one I have read is Dubliners, which is a collection of short stories set in Ireland. Did you mean to read it last year (#2)? Buy a copy from an Indy bookstore (#3)? Do you have a copy with only text on the cover (#25)? Buy it from a used bookstore (#28)? Did a friend recommend it (29)? Is it something your best friend would like (#36)? A book you should have read in school (#37)?

[JoJo]

What categories could The Help fit in?

[LeahS]

First time author. Historical fiction.

Other than that - bought from an independent book store/bought second hand? Would your best friend like it or did they recommend it? Does it fit any prompt from a past challenge e.g. it would fit 'became a movie'.

[JoJo]

I think I'll fit it into first-time author. Thank you for your help Leah

Where does The Neighbor Favor by Kristina Forest fit in?

[Laura]

is there a way to search this thread? I am currently reading Mad Honey by Jodi Picoult. I have prompt 2, 23, 28, 39, 42, and 47 left. I have the ebook on loan from the library ruling out 2 and 28. does the book fit any of the prompts I have left!?!? I am thinking it doesn't.

Any tips for The Girl in the Spider's Web?

I'm re-reading the series and used one of the earlier books for A book with "Girl" in the title.

Thanks in advance.

I haven't read that one, but I read the trilogy. Did you use debut book for The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo? Some books have forbidden romances in them and love triangles in them. Did you get any of the books from second hand stores or read them 10 years ago? Have you used modern retelling of a classic? The author loosely based the characters on Pippi Longstockings and Kalle Blomkvist. Can you fit books into a past challenge prompt? The third book kind of has an athlete. That female cop is really into working out Maybe if you move some of the early books around, you could use the Girl prompt for this one.
