14. Character shares profession with previous character: A character from this book should share a profession with a character from your previous read. You may use a main or secondary character’s profession for either book. Get as specific as you like when comparing careers. (For example: Both characters are doctors or both characters are neurologists.)
If your previous book was non-fiction, choose a profession featured anywhere within that read.
Sample Challenge: My previous book was The Snowman and featured a police Inspector as one of my main characters. For this prompt, I’ll choose a book also featuring police as my main characters and will read Desert Star by Michael Connelly.
