The Helmet reading challenge: choosing the books...

 Good morning everyone!

Yesterday I did the laborious task of writing down each prompt in my reading journal, in Finnish. I am only starting to choose books for each prompt. I think I will update my blog and tell you all what I read, once I have finished the book(s). I might update about a few books at a time or only one. I don't know yet. It will come to me. LOL.

Here are the prompts again, straight up:

1. The book title has a subordinating conjunction (for example: after, although, as if, as much as, because, before, if, once, since, than, unless, until, whenever, while)

2. Fantasy book

3. The main character of the book is younger than you

4. The characters of the book stay up at night

5. A book someone else has chosen for you

6. The book has a prologue, i.e. a preface

7. A book that brings you joy

48. Two books in which the main characters have the same name

49. The book was published in 2025

50. The book was recommended by a library employee

There are some errors in the grammar at least, as far as I know, but it's OK. Nobody is perfect. I shouldn't maybe be pointing that out but if you are good at English, you might notice the errors... Sorry! 

Anyway, I am soon starting to find books for each prompt from my already owned books. I will (probably not) be buying books for some of the prompts. I have never succeeded in this challenge and I don't expect it this time either. I am excited and happy that I can try to complete it though...

I here is my goodreads goal for this year:
