📚 2022 Reading Challenge and Seasonal Challenges 📚

5 Star books that I read for the ATY Challenge and Seasonal Challenges


My most creative twist on a prompt
"A book related to a game". I used a book that features a competition in teams for the crown.
Héroes de cobre by Marta Álvarez and Iguazel Serón.

The prompt I cheated on
None

My favorite prompt
"A book related to glass". When I read this prompt I instantly thought of the perfect book to this challenge, which ended up being 5 stars for me.
La Corte de los Espejos by Concepción Perea.

My least favorite prompt
"A book from the TIME list of 100 Best YA Books of All Time". Because it was very difficult to fulfill. A lot of the options I had already read, and the others didn't really interest me.
To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee.

A book I might not have read if not for the ATY Challenge (but I’m so glad I did!)
The Ten Thousand Doors of January by Alix E. Harrow.
I used this book to complete the prompt "A book from NPR's Book Concierge", and I'm so happy I did because otherwise I wouldn't have read it.

A book I might not have read if not for the ATY Challenge (and I wish I hadn’t!)
Llévame a Casa by Jesús Carrasco.
Not really in the ATY Yearly Challenge, but on the Fall Reading Challenge, but I dislike it so much that I need to put it here.
The prompt for this book was "Reminds you of homecoming"
