Beth Fish Reads is hosting her annual What's In a Name Challenge and I signed up again.
Here's How It Works:
Between January 1 and December 31, 2012, read one book in each of the following categories:
A book with a topographical feature (land formation) in the title: Black Hills, Purgatory Ridge, Emily of Deep Valley
A book with something you'd see in the sky in the title: Moon Called, Seeing Stars, Cloud Atlas
A book with a creepy crawly in the title: Little Bee, Spider Bones, The Witches of WormA book with a type of house in the title: The Glass Castle, The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest, Ape House
A book with something you'd carry in your pocket, purse, or backpack in the title: Sarah's Key, The Scarlet Letter, Devlin Diary
A book with a something you'd find on a calendar in the title: Day of the Jackal, Elegy for April, Freaky Friday, Year of Magical Thinking
Other Things to Know
Books may be any form (audio, print, e-book).
Books may overlap other challenges.
Books may not overlap categories; you need a different book for each category.
Creativity for matching the categories is not only allowed but encouraged.
You do not have to make a list of books before hand.
You do not have to read through the categories in any particular order.
Of course, I immediately made my list! Here it is:
Topographical Feature: The Bone Yard by Jackson Bass
Something You'd See in the Sky: The Scent of Rain and Lightning by Nancy Pickard
Creepy Crawly: Spider Bones by Kathy Reichs
Type of House: The Bungalow by Sarah Jio
Something You'd Carry In Your Purse, Pocket or Backpack: Comfort Food by Kate Jacobs
Something You'd on a Calendar: Think of a Number by John Vernon
Intrigued? Then run you butt over here & sign up!
I will keep you updated on how I'm doing periodically throughout the challenge.
Awesome choices!! Thanks for joining in and I hope you have fun.
