52 Book Club: 2024 Reading Challenge - hosted by anamarquina

The word "secret" in the title
This is one of our winning 2024 prompts, as voted upon by our 52 Book Club members! You can re-watch the live draw here, in which the word “secret” was drawn from our two finalists. (The runner-up was the word “last.”)

The word “secret” must appear in either the title, subtitle, or series title. It may also appear as a variation of the word, such as secrets, secretly, or secretive. As a creative interpretation, the word “secret” may also be inside another word – for example, “secretary.”

This prompt can be completed in any language and does not have to be the English word for “secret.”

For those who participated in our 2023 challenge and feel this prompt is too similar to “a book about secrets,” we would encourage you to pick an entirely different genre for this prompt.

Examples: The Secret Garden, The Secret Life of Bees, The Husband’s Secret, Secretariat, Madam Secretary
