Around the Year in 52 Books discussion

I dunno if I will be doing challenge this year - I will be quite busy and most likely won't have that much time to read. I think it's best for me to not pay attention to challenge much and just check every now and then if I got anything fitting for prompts.

My general goals:
-21 books
-at least 3 books in language other than Polish or English
-having fun despite lack of time

Love the name of your challenge!

-A book related to the lyrics for the song "My Favorite Things" from The Sound of Music

-A book set in a made-up place
-A short book (<210 pages) by a new-to-you author
-A book that you consider comfort reading
-A book involving an immigrant

ATY prompts it can be used for:

ATY prompts it can be used for:
-A book with a monochromatic cover (almost)
-A book that fits a prompt suggestion that didn't make the final list(A book with a trope or story element you know you love)
-A book set in a made-up place (sorta, geography seems to be same as our world, but places are called differently or are made up)
-A book that features siblings as the main characters (it's a stretch again, they are important, but I'm not sure if main is right descriptor)
-A cross genre novel
-A book connected to ice (author wrote a book called Ice)
-A long book
-A book whose cover shows more than 2 people
-A book set in a country on or below the Tropic of Cancer (not throught the whole novel, but quite a sizable chunck takes place in Africa)
-A book that might cause someone to react “You read what?!?”
-A book related to a codeword from the NATO Phonetic Alphabet (Alfa)

Note: the book is listed here as 4 stars book, whereas I rated it 5 stars - the reason is that I was rereading it by listening to audiobook and I had less fun than with my previous reading
