Thanks, hadn't really considered those.

Thanks for the heads-up on that one. I don't watch documentaries, but I can certainly give it a go.
And now that you mention a documentary, the one book that came up in my head just now was this one. It's a book that goes more in-depth from the documentary 'Blackfish':
Beneath the Surface: Killer Whales, SeaWorld, and the Truth Beyond Blackfish
I think I'll end up going this route so thanks for bringing up the documentaries otherwise I would not have thought of it.

My pleasure - I think I may go this route too.

I used it for a forbidden romance.

The only one I have read is Dubliners, which is a collection of short stories set in Ireland. Did you mean to read it last year (#2)? Buy a copy from an Indy bookstore (#3)? Do you have a copy with only text on the cover (#25)? Buy it from a used bookstore (#28)? Did a friend recommend it (29)? Is it something your best friend would like (#36)? A book you should have read in school (#37)?

Other than that - bought from an independent book store/bought second hand? Would your best friend like it or did they recommend it? Does it fit any prompt from a past challenge e.g. it would fit 'became a movie'.


If you're on the desktop versio you can search the thread. Scroll up to the top and on the right side of this thread.

I'm re-reading the series and used one of the earlier books for A book with "Girl" in the title.
Thanks in advance.

I haven't read that one, but I read the trilogy. Did you use debut book for The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo? Some books have forbidden romances in them and love triangles in them. Did you get any of the books from second hand stores or read them 10 years ago? Have you used modern retelling of a classic? The author loosely based the characters on Pippi Longstockings and Kalle Blomkvist. Can you fit books into a past challenge prompt? The third book kind of has an athlete. That female cop is really into working out Maybe if you move some of the early books around, you could use the Girl prompt for this one.

Girl in the title
About a family
I think it’s a movie this year
I can’t remember if there’s English and Swedish for the two languages

For the book based on a movie prompt, have you thought of a book based on a documentary? I think a documentary would be a subgenre of "movie".
I found 2040: A Handbook for the Regeneration I haven't seen the documentary, but it's called 2040 and is about ways of approaching climate change - growing trees, replenishing oceans, building sustainable community and such.
Damon Gameau was the creator of the documentary, as well as the follow up book.
I'm sure there are other options, although now I'm intrigued by this film and book!
