American Dirt by Jeanine Cummins - 5 stars!

2. Why did you choose this book?

I read What are the Blind Men Dreaming? by Noemi Jaffe

2. Why did you choose this book? I had a number of books with geometric patterns but when it came right down to it, this one was higher up on my priority list to read.

I had a hard time coming up with a book for this prompt, but looking at the listopia, I realized would work. I really enjoyed this book although I was a bit confused some of the time trying to piece all of it together.

2. Why did you choose this book? All of the lines form a pattern. I've been wanting to read this book since I read The Fire Next Time a few years ago.

I read Turbo Twenty-Three by Janet Evanovich. I try to fit in a Stephanie Plum every year, for some easy, happy reading, and I think the lines on this cover count as a geometric pattern:

Simple, clean lines; limited, contrasting colours; repeating pattern in the wreath.

2. Mainly because I couldn't fit the other books was thinking of (Recursion, The Things I Would Tell You
) into any of the prompts from the other challenges I do. However, if I do find a home for either of them, I'll probably swap out.

2. Why did you choose this book?
This was one of the harder prompts for me. I was going to use Power of Habit but used it for another prompt. I got this new edition of a classic through netgalley and realized the cover was geometric.

Wow I was having a really hard time with this one, until I found this book that I won from goodreads. It's gorgeous in person.

The Hidden Girl and Other Stories

I chose The Boy in the Striped Pajamas for this prompt. To be honest, I am behind on the challenge and was looking for something on the shorter side and this fit the bill. It was on my tbr for awhile as well.
