Double Dippers

[Cat]

I see a couple of opportunities to double dip with task 24 - either with 2015's "read a romance novel" or "read a graphic novel". Any suggestions for that or other double dippers?

the 2015 ones can easily overlap with almost any book, e.g indie press, different gender, audiobook etc.

I wonder if we can find a romance novel set during a holiday without an illustrated cover?

2025 Task 17 (Read a book about little-known history) can overlap with 2015 Task 10 (Read a microhistory)

That's one of the things that slightly bothers me about the 2015 challenge in hindsight, it's so generic lol.

I found Halloween Boo, assuming a photo cover counts as not illustrated. The same author has a Valentine's and St Patrick's romance.

That's so funny because I liked the broader topics - some of the more recent years I've felt like the prompts were so narrow they might as well have assigned a booklist instead.

Part of the fun for me is finding books that fit the more specific prompts. I've found books I would have otherwise never known existed because of this challenge. 2015 kinda gave me decision paralysis (so many romance novels, so many books written by men, so many audiobooks, etc.).

For anyone looking for a double dipper that is super short for the romance prompts:

10. Read a romance book that doesn’t have an illustrated cover.
22. Read a holiday romance that isn’t Christmas.
