Calling on Dragons. The whole series has titles for the chapters but this is the book that I am on right now.
Finished with The Midnight Library by Matt Haig
Question - can it have a year as a title or does it need to have some worded title? I.e. chapter 1 - 1973, chapter 2 - 1990. But then chapter 3, 4, and 5 are all also 1990. Thanks!

Your challenge, your rules! Personally I would stick with worded titles, but you could go with either.

Go Tell the Bees that I am Gone, by Diana Gabaldon (Outlander series).
I read Valley of Genius: The Uncensored History of Silicon Valley which is a history of Silicon Valley (!) and each chapter is named after the major player of that time period, or maybe that is how he set up his outline of the book originally, but each chapter has a name, not a number.
