Book challenge - trivial question

[aurora]

So I'm sort of following a reading challenge that I completely forgot where I got it. I am at the point where I have a bunch of books that don't "fit" any of the categories (I'm reading them anyway), but I have one category I'm sure I could fill with a bit of help:

"A book recommended by someone else's reading challenge"

Anyone willing to link their challenge list here so I can check one more box? (I don't need the actual books you've read, just your challenge list.)

In case it's helpful to anyone else, here's my list (of which I've checked 34 boxes so far):

A book made into a movie you've already seen
True crime
The next book in a series you started
A book involving a heist
Nordic noir
A novel based on a real person
A book set in a country that fascinates you
A book with a time of day in the title
A book about a villain or antihero
A book about death or grief
A book by a female author who uses a male pseudonym
A book with an LGBTQ+ protagonist
A book that is also a stage play or musical
A book by an author of a different ethnicity than you
A book about feminism
A book about mental health
A book you borrowed or that was given to you as a gift
A book by two authors
A book about or involving a sport
A book by a local author
A book with your favorite color in the title
A book with alliteration in the title
A book about time travel
A book with a weather element in the title
A book set at sea
A book with an animal in the title
A book set on a different planet
A book with song lyrics in the title
A book about or set on Halloween
A book with characters who are twins
A book mentioned in another book
A book from a celebrity book club
A childhood classic you've never read
A book that's published in 2018
A past Goodreads Choice Awards winner
A book set in the decade you were born
A book you meant to read in 2017 but didn't get to
A book with an ugly cover
A book that involves a bookstore or library
Your favorite prompt from the 2015-2017 reading challenges
A bestseller from the year you graduated high school
A cyberpunk book
A book that was being read by a stranger in a public place
A book tied to your ancestry

Here is my library's challenge list: kcls.org/10-to-try/

The book with a title longer than 4 words is probably the easiest to slot something into.

This is the PopSugar Reading Challenge. I'm loosely following it too. The prompt your asking about is the book recommended by someone else taking the challenge, right? If you give me a list of books you are trying to fit, I can see if I can recommend any

You can also check this discussion topic on goodreads for this specific prompt. www.goodreads.com/topic/show/19016856-10-a-book-recommended-by-someone-else-taking-the-popsugar-reading-cha

I did this one earlier this year: www.google.com/amp/s/bookriot.com/2017/12/15/book-riots-2018-read-harder-challenge/amp/

Curious, when you do these challenges, do you count one book for more than one box if it fits more than one?

I personally don't but a lot of people do.

I don't in the same challenge. But if I do 2 separate challenges sometimes the prompts are the same, like "read a true crime book" so I'll use the same book for those.

Oh, interesting, this isn't how I read the prompt, but now that I see how you interpret it I can see that it is ambiguous. I took "someone else's reading challenge" to be a different list, not someone else using the same challenge.

ETA I'm going to go with Nonny's book with a title longer than 4 words. The Tea Girl of Hummingbird Lane it is!

I don't, but I'm also not really particular about finishing a challenge. (I usually get about 30-35 out of 50 checked off and I can sleep easy with that.)

I don't because my challenge is only 10 books and the whole point is to try 10 new books.  

It's never really been an issue in previous years, but this year it's nearly December and I've kind of flubbed the challenge because I left a couple of categories until it was too late, and the books I want to read are either too long or my holds haven't come in.
