1. I book that matches my favorite bookmark: I Hope This Doesn't Find You (the bookmark is super floral and colorful, but this cover has similar colors, I really don't own a lot of bookmarks, so I don't have a lot of cloices)2. Roll a die (horror): FantasticLand (wanted to finish this last month, but we only have so much time)
3. Choose a book from your TBR 85-95: These Lying Eyes (I think this was #93, but I've had it on my kindle for years, so it's a good excuse to get reading)
4. A book set in a small town: Midnight Sun
5. A book with a number in the title: SEAL Team Six: Memoirs of an Elite Navy SEAL Sniper

that is why I started adding the prompts to choose from between certain numbers on our GR want to read list- it pushes us to read something we've had on the list a long time and probably haven't even thought about in a while- its worked well for me so far. its one of the prompts I prioritize finishing for that reason so I'm glad its working out for you as well!

The Little Girl Who Lives Down the Lane
*I have a Wizard of Oz bookmark that matches the color on this perfectly, plus, I only heard of this book from the Jodie Foster movie, so I'm using that as a match like books made into movies.

The Little Girl Who Lives Down the Lane
*I have a Wizard of Oz bookmark that matches the color on this perfectly, plus, I only heard of this book from..."
Ok well No one goes to the house: Unveiling the Secrets of Ravens-wood's Forbidden Mansion is actually illegible, like it sounds like gibberish, punctuation is no where mostly and shows up randomly, sentences are incomplete or just don't make sense, I give up. I hope it's just a translation issue or something otherwise, this is horrible. So...I'm updating my prompt for 3. Choose a book between #85-95 on TBR
New pick: Bones of the Coast: Tales of Terror from the Pacific Northwest

The Little Girl Who Lives Down the Lane

Ok sorry! I'm going to be extra annoying this month and change another book too, I have to return Jar of Hearts today and didn't get to it in time, so I'll be updating prompt 2 as well, still sticking with Crime that I rolled.
New pick: Three Sisters in Black: The Bizarre True Case of the Bathtub Tragedy
Mod
The Little Girl Who Lives Down the Lane
*I have a Wizard of Oz bookmark that matches the color on this perfectly, plus, I only heard of this book from..."
Ughhh well I can't find a copy of The Little Girl Who Lives Down the Lane so I'm changing that one too for 1. Matches my Favorite Bookmark.
New Pick: The Only One Left
I have a bookmark that matches the color scheme on this one, plus it says "alternative facts" which I always feel like matches thrillers and the lying vibe of this one especially.
7/23 Update:I finished I Hope This Doesn't Find You and Midnight Sun, not sure if I'll get to the rest for the month, but I'll see.

I finished the two, and I started FantasticLand and These Lying Eyes, but did not start SEAL Team Six: Memoirs of an Elite Navy SEAL Sniper.
