Finally, I've finished choosing my books for the Flower Market challenge and besides those, I'll also show you some book recommendations if you're not sure what to read! 😄

For each prompt, I wanted to give myself some options (but not too many, because then I just get indecisive), so I picked 2 books, and when the moment comes, I'll let my mood choose between them 😂 

1. Rose Lily - Two genres combined. 

  

Both of these are romantasy novels that I planned to read this year, but I think I'll probably get to A Dragon Rider's Guide To Retirement first because I feel like cozy fantasy will be my main genre in May 😄

Recommendations:

   

2. Angel's Trumpets - Unassuming cover. 


  

For this one, I've got The Stardust Grail (reading this one would cross off so many prompts for me that I'm 90% sure I'll read this one lol) because this cover gives me almost nothing. I can tell it's got something to do with space and are those tentacles?? My first guess was that this would be some philosophical take on humanity thriving in space or something serious like that. In any case, when I read the premise on Goodreads, I was delightedly shocked at what the book is actually about 😂

The Healer's Apprentice cover is just the regular case of "this is a historical novel and we had no budget" so you can't really glean anything special from it.

Recommendations:

   

3. Skeleton Flower - Less than 1000 ratings. 


  

This one was fairly easy, I just sorted through my to-read list on Goodreads by num. of ratings and cross-referenced that with my general list of reading challenges to see if I can double something. Both of these would help me make progress on multiple challenges so yay me 😂

Recommendations:

    

4. Chocolate Cosmos - A 4.5 rating or higher. 


   

The Vanishing Girl's got a rating of 4.47 (I didn't specify decimals so rounding up is fine 😂) while Seyoon and Dean, Unscripted got 4.50 (it was 4.51 two days ago 😶 I guess I'd better read this fast lol). Both of these sound super fun. The Vanishing Girl fits my current mood well because I'm full into sci-fi, but I might read this cute rom-com in May....idk yet.

Recommendations:

   

5. Hoya Flower - A series with 4 books or more. 


  

I really should get to the latest Murderbot novel, it's been staring at me for 2 years 😂 The 8th book is coming out this year, so I should definitely read this as soon as possible. On the other hand, But He's My One Regret is shorter, and it would help me with my Romanceopoly reading challenge..ahh decisions decisions 😂

Recommendations:

   

6. Bird of paradise - Colorful cover. 


   

A pretty easy prompt to find books for, but in the end, I chose these two because they're the ones that drew me in at first glance.

Do you prepare a TBR for every challenge, or do you just wing it?
