As always, this year's Storygraph challenge is pre-seeded with over 400 example books from a variety of (99% fiction) genres and subjects! Each square on there has at least 10 works that qualify only for regular mode, plus 10 more that also qualify for hard mode.

Where are the suggestions? I've followed several links and just see the square descriptions.

Clicking on the name of a square on the Storygraph challenge page** should bring you to a page that shows every book that's been added to that square (by me or other participants). For instance, here's the A Picture Is Worth 1,000 Words page. They do take a second to load all the way, especially when there's a lot of books in the list. Does that help?

Hmm, maybe my app is misbehaving? When I click on the links in the top post it just sends me back here, but when I clicked the link you shared in the comment it sent me to storygraph where I could see all of the recommendations.

I can find the rest of them now by browsing from there, so that does work for me. Ty for helping me find them. I just finished my latest series so I'm floundering for what's next!!

Hmm I think the post links may be messed up; I'll poke Jaymes.

Glad to help--I hope you find something fun to read next!

Ty, so I browsed those lists and found out there's a new Sanderson, and Wells this year, so I've got those two on my list. And I picked up the Twisted Ones from Kingfisher. My first for this author, and more real than I'm used to, but I think this'll be good.
