Thank you Carol. That reminds me of a mystery with a female minister.

3. A book that relates to a river - upvote: always yes! I love rivers and anything related to rivers. My choir is doing three songs about rivers this weekend. :)

5. A book that has been made into a movie - upvote: fun!

8. A book featuring a lawyer, politician or clergyman - downvote: really not interested

9. A book with a character list or family tree. - downvote: not interested at all. If this one gets in, I will either accidentally find one or use a wild card.

11. A history or historical fiction book - upvote: always a yes as it is one of my very favorite genres.

13. A book set in an Olympics host city - downvote: too limiting

15. A biography, memoir, or autofiction - upvote: love this genre

KP | 188 comments I have books that could work for all 3 of these prompts: vacation, westerns and water. I hope one of these gets in. I like history and/or 1700s. I also like lawyer/politician, Obama, and biography, but would have to leave off river or something else.

Neutral or downvote - movies, family trees, numerals, cats. My dogs would get jealous if I had cat pictures laying around. 🐶

That seems to be the perception every time we get this type of prompt, but I can't find..."


I think it's a problem for people who do PopSugar as well as ATY. PopSugar has used a movie/tv related prompt in 2018,2019, 2022 and 2023, so with the 2019 ATY prompt that makes 5 times that it's been used in 8 years
