4) Published the same year as the previous book: For this prompt, pick a book published the same year as your previous read (your choice for prompt 3). This should be the original publication date of the work. You can choose any genre, author, or format, as long as it shares the same publication year as prompt 3. The book does not have to be set in that year.
Sample Challenge: My prompt 3 book (Jane Eyre) was originally published in October 1847. I need to find a book published in the same year. I’ll choose Wuthering Heights, published in November 1847, by Emily Brontë.
