Book Riot's Read Harder Challenge discussion

I see a couple of opportunities to double dip with task 24 - either with 2015's "read a romance novel" or "read a graphic novel". Any suggestions for that or other double dippers?

the 2015 ones can easily overlap with almost any book, e.g indie press, different gender, audiobook etc.

I wonder if we can find a romance novel set during a holiday without an illustrated cover?

2025 Task 17 (Read a book about little-known history) can overlap with 2015 Task 10 (Read a microhistory)

That's one of the things that slightly bothers me about the 2015 challenge in hindsight, it's so generic lol.

I found Halloween Boo, assuming a photo cover counts as not illustrated. The same author has a Valentine's and St Patrick's romance.

That's so funny because I liked the broader topics - some of the more recent years I've felt like the prompts were so narrow they might as well have assigned a booklist instead.

Part of the fun for me is finding books that fit the more specific prompts. I've found books I would have otherwise never known existed because of this challenge. 2015 kinda gave me decision paralysis (so many romance novels, so many books written by men, so many audiobooks, etc.).
