Note: this challenge must be complete in order to

21. Is somehow connected to your prompt 20 and prompt 1 picks: For your final prompt on this challenge, we want to take our reads full circle and connect this book to both your previous read (#20) and the very first prompt (#1).

The book you choose for this prompt should somehow connect to both, but they do not have to connect in the same way. For example, this book may share a genre with your prompt 1 choice but share a publisher with your prompt 20 pick. Examples may include: same authors or publishers, same settings, shared character names, shared plot points, similar cover elements or titles, etc. Get creative and feel free to be as broad or as specific with your connections as you like!

Sample Challenge: My very first pick for this challenge was Welcome to Murder Week and my previous choice was Parents Weekend. Both of these books were published in 2025 so for this book, I’ll connect to both of them by reading another 2025 release, Onyx Storm by Rebecca Yarros.
