41 -- A Guide To...

41 -- A Guide To...

Have you seen the title trend, “A ______’s Guide to ______?” (For example: The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.)That trend is the inspiration behind this prompt!

There are a couple of different ways to interpret this prompt:

– Any guidebook: Webster’s dictionary defines a guidebook as “a book that gives useful information about a particular subject. Especially: a book of information for travellers.” For this prompt, you may choose a guidebook featuring a specific country or location for travel.

– Guidebooks help guide readers and may contain information about any particular subject. For example, you may consider a book like Marie Kondo’s The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up: The Japanese Art of Decluttering and Organizing a book like The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck: A Counterintuitive Approach to Living a Good Life by Mark Manson, as a guide for life or for a specific area of life.

– You may also choose any book with the word “Guide” in the title or subtitle. This could include the format “A _______’s guide to ________” or it may simply be the word “guide.”

If the book is intended to act as a guide to something (for yourself or other readers, either seriously or tongue-in-cheek) you can use it toward this prompt. (The 52 Book Club’s 2026 Challenge Guide, perhaps?)
