Book Ideas for Popsugar Reading Challenge 2019

The printable/downloadable version of the 2019 Popsugar Reading challenge is here.

Here I've presented three books in each category with at least a thousand book reviews on Goodreads for each book. The title URLs open on Amazon dot com.

1. A book becoming a movie in 2019
2. A book that makes you nostalgic
(Can't say what'll make someone nostalgic but here I'm listing a few books which are strongly associated with a place)
3. A book written by a musician (fiction or nonfiction)
4. A book you think should be turned into a movie
(Searched around to check what popular forums say)
5. A book with at least one million ratings on Goodreads
Here's a list of books with more than a million ratings. I've listed books which I've hardly heard of.
6. A book with a plant in the title or on the cover
7. A re-read of your favourite book
(Leaving this one out. I think I'll be reading The Jurassic Park)

8. A book about a hobby
(Leaving it out too - for me it is Liar's Poker and Beating the Street)

10. A book with "pop", "sugar" or "challenge" in the title
11. A book with an item of clothing or accessory on the cover
12. A book inspired by mythology, legend or folklore
13. A book published posthumously
14. A book set in space
15. A book by two female authors
16. A book with a title that contains "salty", "sweet", "bitter", or "spicy"
17. A book set in Scandinavia
18. A book that's published in 2019
19. A book featuring an extinct or imaginary creature
20. A book recommended by a celebrity you admire
(Had to spend a lot of time googling this because first I had to decide upon the celebrities)
21. A book with "love" in the title
  1. Love in the Time of Cholera by Gabriel Garcia Marquez (Fiction, Magical Realism)
  2. The Girl who Loved Tom Gordon by Stephen King (Horror)
  3. Marley and Me: Life and Love With the World's Worst Dog by John Grogan (Memoir)
22. A book featuring an amateur detective
23. A book about a family
24. A book written by an author from Asia, Africa, or South America
25. A book with a zodiac sign or astrology term in the title
(One can think about Chinese signs which are simply animals or read books about your sun sign for this year)
26. A book you see someone reading on TV or in a movie
(I had the most fun doing this. I remembered the songs and had a tough time figuring out the books what with poor vision not helping me much.)




27. A retelling of a classic
28. A book with a question in the title
29. A book set on a college or university campus
30. A book about someone with a superpower
31. A book told from multiple characters POVs
32. A book that includes a wedding
(Ugh... I'm not liking these romance candidates anymore)

33. A book by an author whose first and last names start with the same letter
34. A ghost story
35. A book with a two-word title
36. A novel based on a true story
