What's in a Name 5

Beth of BethFishReads is hosting the What's in a Name Challenge again next year and, of course I've just signed up. I rarely meet a challenge I don't like and won't take. And I had so much fun with this one last year that I just couldn't resist jumping again. [Yes, Gina and Cheryl, I know I never resist. The word just isn't in my vocabulary when it comes to challenges.]

Here's how it works:

Between January 1 and December 31, 2012, read one book in each of the following categories:

1. A book with a topographical feature (land formation) in the title: Black Hills, Purgatory Ridge, Emily of Deep Valley
2. A book with something you'd see in the sky in the title: Moon Called, Seeing Stars, Cloud Atlas
3. A book with a creepy crawly in the title: Little Bee, Spider Bones, The Witches of Worm
4. A book with a type of house in the title: The Glass Castle, The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest, Ape House
5. A book with something you'd carry in your pocket, purse, or backpack in the title: Sarah's Key, The Scarlet Letter, Devlin Diary
6. 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
