What's in a Name Challenge

Friday, December 11, 2009

I just signed up for another reading challenge which shouldn't be too hard (I hope). This is the third reading challenge I put myself up for in the coming year. I hope I am not overflowing my plate. I don't think so, we'll see I guess. I haven't picked out any books to read for this challenge yet but I will soon, I have to check out my library to see if I already have anything that fits in this challenge, I think I do.


So here's how it works: Between January 1 and December 31, 2010, read one book in each of the following categories:

1. A book with a food in the title: Clockwork Orange, Grapes of Wrath, The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society
2. A book with a body of water in the title: A River Runs through It, Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters, The Lake House
3. A book with a title (queen, president) in the title: The Murder of King Tut, The Count of Monte Cristo, Lady Susan
4. A book with a plant in the title: A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, Wind in the Willows, The Name of the Rose
5. A book with a place name (city, country) in the title: Out of Africa; London; Between, Georgia
6. A book with a music term in the title: Song of Solomon, Ragtime, The Piano Teacher
