This year, I didn't pay too much attention to the prompts, but read mostly what I wanted to read, especially as the year progressed. At the beginning of the year, I did focus more on the prompts.
It worked out fine in the end, because I read more than 100 books (so far) this year, and thus had enough to choose from. I noticed I didn't like the prompts that were too specific (like the Maximilian Hell one), because I would either be very limited in choice or interpret it very loosely. I do like the planning, but will continue to focus on books already owned or at the library.
