What’s in a Name? Challenge #4/What’s in a Name? Challenge #5


I’ve been shuffling and sorting through my stacks, seeing what books that I already own that also might qualify for the challenge. The good news is that I
Yay! @BethFishReads has announced the categories for the What’s in a Name? Challenge #5! I’ve spent some time sorting through my stacks, determining what books would work for the various qualifiers and, I’m pleased that I have something from my TBR stacks that will work for every category! This is good news because I would love to make a dent in my hoardings 🙂
Without further ado, this is my tentative list for the challenge:

  • [Topographical Feature]: Treasure Island (by Robert Louis Stevenson);
  • [Something You See in the Sky]: A Thousand Splendid Suns (by Khaled Housseni)
  • [Creepy Crawly]: The Reptile Room (by Lemony Snicket)
  • [Type of House]: Cleaning Nabokov’s House (by Leslie Daniels)
  • [Something You Carry in Your Purse, Pocket or Backpack]: The Scarlet Letter (by Nathanial Hawthorne)
  • [Something You’d Find on a Calender]: Year of Wonders (by Geraldine Brooks)

Of course, my selections may change. One thing I learned from this past year’s challenge was that I should be flexible and; NOT drink while blogging. I had this idea last year that I was going to be über-creative and do cross media entries (e.g. a book and it’s sequel in audiobook.) It didn’t quite work out that way and many of the titles I had set aside for the challenge went unread while other titles I tackled qualified quite nicely. That is not saying I won’t get creative; only that I shouldn’t strait-jacket myself into a reading list or marry a concept, thus make reading a chore! I think this year I might use the books to create a theme for the month in which I’m reading it. It’s just an idea I’m considering right now and we’ll see how it plays out. The most important thing is that this should be fun 🙂

For the curious, this is what I read for the What’s in a Name? Challenge #4:
