Hello everyone!
I thought it would be great to make a thread where everyone can chat about the books they plan on reading/are currently reading based off the prompts, to make this more interactive. Its not compulsory, but would love it if we all can talk and make more friends. :)

Rules for the Challenge:

-The prompts for the Monthly Challenge are given below. The participants are required to read as many books as they want from these prompts.
-The prompts cannot be reused. One book per prompt.
-Books can be read in any format.
-If you are reading an audiobook, then count the page number of another edition.
-Books that you finish in November but started in another month also count.
-Books below 100 pages will not count.
-We are not counting reviews and buddy reads (except for the one prompt on buddy reads) this time.

The challenge starts on November 1st and ends on November 30th.

Point system-

+10 for reading each prompt
+25 if you complete all the prompts listed here

For every book you read, you will get points based on the no. of pages the difficulty level.

Books between 100-200 pages will have +10 points
Books between 201-300 pages will have +20 points
Books between 301-400 pages will have +30 points
Books between 401-500 pages will have +40 points
Books between 501-600 pages will have +50 points
And so on…

also, if anyone's got recommendations for prompts 37 and 22 (a book with LGBTQIA+ rep and a book recommended to you by someone else), that would be awesome :)

Hmm….

I love Sometimes We Tell the Truth (have every genre, since it’s like a collection of short stories. But the main story is as compelling)

In Other Lands, it’s fantasy with drama too

The last one is a spoiler because lgbtq+ representation is actually a huge spoiler in that book but it’s still great after being spoiled.

Rinee | 28 comments I couldn’t read The Great Gatsby for October so I’m reading it for November.
Also, I’m so happy that Letters to the Lost was chosen for the BOTM!

Here’s my tbr for this month:

Except for Letters to the lost I tried to use the books I’ve own but didn’t read/finish yet.

I heard Lovely War is a great LGBTQIA+ historical fiction, though I haven't read it yet. Another wonderful historical fiction is The Song of Achilles, which I enjoyed!

As for more recs for books I've read-

LGBTQIA+ BOOKS

Fantasy-(view spoiler)

Contemporary-(view spoiler)

Let me know if you want more, I have a huge list. :)
