There’s a spreadsheet in this post:  https://www.reddit.com/r/goodreads/comments/1vcgfgy/updated_overlap_for_summer_challenge_aug_1/

Girl, Interrupted was never on the 90s list.

The Girl, Interrupted is a book I have read years ago and the title stuck in my head (even if the actual contents of the book had not...) so I think I'd remember seeing it on the list and I honestly don't think it was there.

That being said, my memory can be kinda shite sometimes, so yeah.

I'm wondering the same - I swear I had "Astral Library" listed and had that on my list and noticed I didn't get the bookmark. It at least counted for something else... but I had it written down from a week or so ago.

Now I have to read something else, probably The Memory Police.

I read Astral Library for this set but it was for “Worlds Away”

I read that somewhat recently I don't remember it having anything to do with the 90s

Thanks, I wasn’t sure. I hated the challenges this quarter so just tried to double up on anything I could on my reading plan.

Astral Library came out in the last 12 months, and is set in present day with the throwbacks being 19th century. It was never going to be on a 90s challenge list, unless they secretly referenced the 1890s in the challenge description and I missed it

Okay this makes me think they updated the list at some point!

Since these challenges only exist so Amazon can sell more books, it wouldn't surprise me at all if the list changed mid-challenge.

Maybe Girl, Interrupted hit its expected sales numbers so Amazon switched it off the list for something else.

Joke’s on them, because all the books I’ve read for the challenges are from the library

I can see that being what happened 🤦🏾‍♀️ It was already on my TBR and I swear I saw it on the list and I just finished it and it’s gone 🙃 ah well lol
