16) Goodreads rating +/- 0.25 of previous book’s rating: What was the Goodreads rating for your previous read? Find a book with a Goodreads rating within plus (+) or minus (-) 0.25 of that.
For example, if the Goodreads rating for your prompt 15 book was 3.95 stars, you’ll need to pick a book that’s between 3.70 stars and 4.20 stars. Any book fits as long as it’s within a quarter of a star.
Sample Challenge: The Goodreads rating for my previous book, Murder, Madness and Mayhem: Twenty-Five Tales of True Crime and Dark History is 3.75 stars. For this prompt, I’m looking for a book that’s between 3.5 stars and 4.0 stars. I’ll choose Beloved by Toni Morrison, which currently has a Goodreads rating of 3.97 stars.
