I have something a little different for this quarter's challenge. I saw this type of challenge while I was looking for reading challenges I wanted to join, and I really liked this format, so I hope you do too!

The trick of this challenge is that you have to do these prompts in order because each prompt will play off of the book you chose for the previous prompt.

1. A book you meant to read in 2022.

2. A book that has been on your TBR for a shorter amount of time than your last book. (If your previous book was added to your TBR in 2021, then this book should be any book added after that).

3. A book where the title starts with the next letter in the alphabet from your previous book. (If your previous book started with an 'A,' then this book should start with a 'B.')

4. A book that is a different genre than your previous book.

5. A book by an author whose name has less letters than the author of your last book.

6. A book that is longer than your previous book.

7. A book with a title that has more words than the title of your previous book.

8. A book set in a different time period than your previous book.

9. A book published any time before your previous book was published.

10. A book where the cover/spine is a complementary (on the opposite side of the color wheel) color to your previous book. (So if your previous book was purple, then this book should be yellow).

I only included 10 prompts because I don't know how easy or difficult this is going to be--I haven't done this type of challenge before, but it seems fun! I feel like I did a lot of mental gymnastics trying to explain some of these, so I hope they make sense. Lol. If they don't, just let me know! 😅 And let me know your thoughts on this!

I probably wont finish another book by tomorrow, especially not one that has more than 6 words in the title, so I'm ending this challenge with having completed 6/10 prompts.

How'd everyone else do?
