- 5 Star books that I read for the ATY Challenge
Fantasy


Mystery


Sci-Fi


Romance


Thriller


Fiction


My most creative twist on a promptProbably Greenwich Park for a word related to time. Greenwich always makes me think of Greenwich meantime

The prompt I cheated on
"Fits your favorite prompt that didn't make the list" I didn't really go out of my way to find my actual favourite prompt, rather stopped when I saw a prompt I liked and it fit a TBR.

My favorite prompt
A book related to one of the 22 Tarot Major Arcana cards - I loved matching the themes in the book with the themes of the cards. I had a few books in mind that I didn't end up using because I wanted something that was a perfect fit. I'd like to do the side challenge next year and find books for all of the cards.

My least favorite prompt
None really jump out as a least favourite. I struggled with the two 'author from.." prompts the most because I couldn't decided how strict to be with the criteria and really wanted to stay faithful/respectful to the intent of the prompt. (but that's completely a me issue, not a prompt issue)

A book I might not have read if not for the ATY Challenge (but I’m so glad I did!)
