    I love reading challenges and I came here thinking that maybe this year I would like the Pop Sugar Challenge, but nope!That sounds like a nightmare, way too many of them are annoying. I will likely participate in the Tea and Ink Classic Book Challenge, one or more of The Book Girls’ Guide challenges, and the Build Your Library reading challenge (which finally comes out tomorrow, hallelujah!). I found your reactions really fun though, so thanks!

      Aww, thanks! I will have to look these up. I will decide on which challenges I'm doing once Read Harder (BookRiot) drops... 52 book club challenge is good this year! 💕

    Just had a thought about the prompt regarding reading a book based on the last sentence. Get someone to choose a book from your own books, get them to read the last sentence of the book and then they choose a book for you to read from their own impressions of the last sentence. That way it doesn't spoil the book for you.

    I actually have read a cozy mystery series about food trucks. So there are options out there.

    Non-traditional education could be any of the dark academia stuff? You have Babel right behind you, and I loved "A deadly education" series by Naomi Novik, and "The Betrayals" by Bridget Collins.

    "Can we just leave the robots out of this?" haha I agree. The prompts are quite interesting for sure!
    Fun fact - I used to be weird and read the last sentence of the book first, but I stopped when I realized that some of them have spoilers in the last sentence. I don't think that is a good prompt!
    I loved hearing you complain about these prompts xD
    I have Floating Hotel on my tbr which I think will count for space tourism

    There’s a non-fiction book called Born to Run: A Hidden Tribe, Superathletes, and the Greatest Race the World Has Never Seen
    by Christopher McDougall, which is about ultramarathoners and I would absolutely read it for the Run Club prompt if I hadn’t already read it. 😅

    I'm interpreting "oldest author" to mean the one oldest at the time they wrote the book. And I'm reducing the scope of "TBR" to mean the books I've chosen for the month. My unread physical TBR has thousands of books on it and I have thousands more digital books, so there's no way I'm sifting through all that for a prompt.
    Yet I am reasonably sure I have no running club, food truck, or soccer books. I did find a food truck murder mystery on Hoopla. And I'm told Fredrik Backman has a soccer book. But all of the running club books I can find sound absolutely painful.

    • @RaeLovesToRead
      @RaeLovesToRead  8 днів тому +1

      All the food truck books are "how to start your food truck business!" I am not impressed, haha.
      Same with the physical TBR. Think I'm gonna go PD James "Death comes to Pemberley"... there's unlikely to be many more authors in their 90s/100s, right??
