Girl, Women other is one a BLM reading list and depending on your interpretation could be art - performing art.

Our book club choice for this month is Daisy Jones and the six, any suggestions as to which prompt it might fit? Thank you.

Dream job if you've every wanted to be a rock star, a book your best friend would like (I'm assuming a friend picked it for your book club), a book about art or an artist (if you include singing an art), a book everyone has ready except you (seemed pretty popular last year), or a past year prompt (I read it for title that caught your attention last year).

It would also fit last year’s prompt of a book by or about a musician.

would Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West fit into any of the prompts?

It was originally published in 1995 and I would think it was a bestseller. Elphie might also have your dream job if you're that way inclined.

Arguments could be made for dark academia and social justice issue.

most obvious past prompts:
A book that is also a stage play or musical
A book about a villain or antihero
A book with magic
A retelling of a classic

I've seen mutliple recommend Midnight Library for book on subject you are passionate about, but I'm more than halfway through and I'm not sure what that subject would be! It's not really about books like I thought it would be :/ Let me know if you've read it and what you think? It would probably fit better in book about fresh starts.

Would anyone be able to tell me if The Tattooist of Auschwitz would fit in a prompt? And if yes, in which one? Thanks

Anne wrote: "Would anyone be able to tell me if The Tattooist of Auschwitz would fit in a prompt? And if yes, in which one? Thanks"

I haven't read it, but I do keep seeing it at the shop and it has a black and white cover (for prompt 15).

I'm reading A Good Marriage and I'm wondering what prompt it may work for.

i have it under
8. A book that has won the women’s Prize for Fiction

Perfect! Thank you :)

I am reading The Idiot by Dostoyevsky, any thoughts on where this could go?

Anne wrote: "Would anyone be able to tell me if The Tattooist of Auschwitz would fit in a prompt? And if yes, in which one? Thanks"

I read that last year...very good! You can use it for "a book you saw on someone else's bookshelf".

i'm sorry, i've been mistaken. i thought it was this book An American Marriage. i am just seeing now that you've asked about A Good Marriage.

I finished The Midnight Library last week and thought it qualified for #27, About do-overs or fresh starts, #28, A magical realism book, and #29, Set in multiple countries. It could also work for the more subjective ones, like #30, Set Somewhere You'd Like to Visit in 2021, if the answer is London, Brazil or the Arctic, or a book you meant to read last year (#46).

Does anyone have a suggestion if The Hiding Place: The Triumphant True Story of Corrie Ten Boom by Corrie Ten Boom would fit any of this year's Prompts?

Deborah wrote: "Does anyone have a suggestion if The Hiding Place: The Triumphant True Story of Corrie Ten Boom by Corrie Ten Boom would fit any of this year's Prompts?"

Hi Deborah, that book is probably set in multiple countries (since the protagonist seems to have been killed abroad), as a watchmaker Corrie might have been a little bit of an artist, and there is certainly something of a "fresh start" in what she did. There is a song called "Hiding Place":
Maybe you'd like to visit the Netherlands in 2021. Fighting for the oppressed is certainly a "civil rights issue" to me. And finally your best friend might like the book.
Plenty of options! :-)

Anne wrote: "Would anyone be able to tell me if The Tattooist of Auschwitz would fit in a prompt? And if yes, in which one? Thanks"

I read it in 2019 for 'novel based on a true story', so you could use this years past challenge prompt. (Alternatively last years 'a book by an author with flora or fauna in their name' would work as well, as the authors name is Heather Morris)

As for this years prompts it's kind of hard to fit in. In my opinion 12 and 39 could be considered 'wildcards', because you could fit pretty much any semi popular book in there. And you have probably seen it on somebody's bookshelf or maybe felt like everybody has already read it.

Hope this helps!

Thanks this was very helpful!

Do you think The Cruel Prince could enter as 'a book everyone seems to have read but you'?

Lu wrote: "Do you think The Cruel Prince could enter as 'a book everyone seems to have read but you'?"



LOL I've thought about using it for that!!! Seems like EVERYONE I know on GR talks about reading that book!!

Maybe it was asked already...but where would Dear Edward fit? Thanks!

It was this month's group read for "do-overs & fresh starts" :-)

Here was my listing of 2021 Popsugar prompts I thought it could fit:
POPSUGAR: #18-Helping each other, #21-Contemporary Fiction, Young Adult, #27, #37, #38-Jane was a screenwriter and Eddie was a pianist, NEW #39, #40-From 2016 POPSUGAR Summer challenge-prompt #25 A book that made you cry, #43

Hope that helps!

Thanks so much!

My friend lent me the book The Female of the Species and it's been ridiculously good. I was wondering if it fit any prompts? Many thanks!

It was also made into a movie...

Hi all!

I'm planning on reading both Paradise by Toni Morrison and Jurassic Park by Michael Crichton this year and I know they both fit the Best Sellers from the 90s prompts, but wondering if there were any other prompts they might fit so I might stretch them out to fit another prompt if I can? Reading both regardless but always fun to see if they fit elsewhere!

I haven't read them, but from the descriptions I believe
Paradise would fit
10. A best-seller from the 1990s.
15. A book with a black-and-white cover (if you bend it a bit)
17. A book that has the same title as a song (There is one by Coldplay and one by George Ezra)
If you are passionate about Feminism or Race issues it could be 18. A book about a subject you are passionate about
20. A book on a Black Lives Matter reading list (I'm sure you'll find it on one or the other BLM list)
34. A book about a social justice issue

Jurassic Park could be
10. A bestseller from the 1990s
21. A genre hybrid
22. A book set mostly or entirely outdoors#
27. A book about do-overs or fresh starts

Thank you so much, Nicole!! this was SO helpful! I appreciate this.

any suggestions for where to place Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe besides the BLM prompt? I have another book planned for that one. thanks guys!

Bethany Leah wrote: "any suggestions for where to place Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe besides the BLM prompt? I have another book planned for that one. thanks guys!"


There is a song called "Good Things Fall Apart"

There are a lot of family members in the story but I can't remember if it's three generations - I THINK so?

Everyone has read it but you?

And I'm sure you can find it one someone's bookshelf.

I put Supernova on hold last year for the "pun in the title" prompt but it has only just become available. Anyone got any suggestions where it would fit other than a past prompt?

Sarah wrote: "I put Supernova on hold last year for the "pun in the title" prompt but it has only just become available. Anyone got any suggestions where it would fit other than a past prompt?"


"Supernova" and "Champagne Supernova" are both song titles.

Other possibilities: your best friend would like it, or maybe it's about a do-over or fresh start? I have no idea what the plot is, but that seems within the realm of possible.

Hello again! Where might Get a Life, Chloe Brown fit?

Allie wrote: "Hello again! Where might Get a Life, Chloe Brown fit?"


It's a perfect fit for both body positivity and do-overs/fresh starts.

Talia Hibbert is one of the author's on , so if you interpret that to be a "BLM reading list" then you can fit this book there, too.

The love interest is a painter, so this works for "about an artist." Chloe's mother and grandmother both play peripheral roles, so you could stretch it a bit to be "three generations." And maybe you think your best friend would like it.

Thanks so much Nadine! I'll pencil it into the body positivity category!

Where does Freshwater by Akwaeke Emezi fit?

Sherri wrote: "Where does Freshwater by Akwaeke Emezi fit?"


To me, the pattern on the cover forms some diamonds, so I would feel comfortable using this for "book with a diamond on the cover"

The plot is a bit confusing, but one could make an argument that it involves "forgetting"

I think I saw it on a celebrity bookshelf at some point this year ... that doesn't help you since I can't remember who it was. Maybe it was posted over in the discussion post for that category.

It could be considered magical realism.

It takes place in two countries, which for me is not enough to qualify as "multiple," but I've seen quite a few readers using two countries to check off the "takes place in multiple countries" category.

Georgia wrote: "hi! I'm looking to read the Handmaid's Tale at long last - any idea where it would fit? thank you! :)"

I think it would work for social justice or probably a book that everyone else seems to have read

Amanda wrote: "I want to read Mexican Gothic. Anywhere this could fit?"

It has three generations. I put it under Family Tree. Do you want to go to Mexico? It could fit there. It also has Magical Realism.

Teri wrote: "Any ideas for Sue Kidd's The Book of Longings? My friend just lent it to me and I really don't know anything about it."

I just finished it. I am putting it under Do-overs or fresh starts. The main character reinvents herself a number of times, also there's a side story about a lost daughter that works.

Georgia wrote: "@ Sarah - thank you for your help! I've changed from Pride and Prejudice to Handmaid's Tale for the book everyone seems to have read. Hopefully I can get through both this year anyway :)"

Those are both great choices!

I plan on reading these three books in February and wondering if anyone knows where these books might fit?

Faerie Tale by Raymond E Feist (I do think it might go with the magical realism prompt but I'm not entirely certain on what magical realism is to be sure) A second look just made me realise I have a few I can put this one in. I think it's magical realism, it was selected at random, it was gifted to me (free book prompt) and I think my edition has a really beautiful cover haha.

Pestilence by Laura Thalassa

Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine by Gail Honyeman

My star sign is an Aries and the only author of those I could find that information was Feist and... he's not a match lol.

The only prompts I CAN'T use are 2, 39 and 46 as I've already read for them.
