Beth Fish is hosting a sixth round of the What's in a Name Challenge. I had a lot of fun with this one last year and just had to sign up again. The goal--to read six books one in each pre-determined category. I've still got a few books that will meet various categories, but I've managed the initial six necessary to complete the challenge!
Here's my plan (subject to change):
1. A book with up or down (or equivalent) in the title:
Down the Rabbit Hole by Peter Abrahams (3/19/13)
2. A book with something you'd find in your kitchen in the title:
A Spoonful of Sugar: A Nanny's Story by Brenda Ashford (4/3/13)
3. A book with a party or celebration in the title:
Holiday Homicide by Rufus King (4/23/13)
4. A book with fire (or equivalent) in the title:
The Man Who Went Up in Smoke by Maj Sjöwall and Per Wahlöö (1/8/13)
5. A book with an emotion in the title:
Unhappy Hooligan by Stuart Palmer (3/24/13)
A Cold & Lonely Place by Sara J. Henry (3/9/13)
6. A book with lost or found (or equivalent) in the title: Four Lost Ladies by Stuart Palmer (1/23/13)
Congrats!
ReplyDeleteHonestly Bev, I don't know how you can keep track of all your challenges. I get confused if I even sign up for two. Which I didn't, this year. No more challenges for me.
ReplyDeleteBut congrats anyway. Well done. :)
HOLIDAY HOMICIDE sounds like a book I'd definitely enjoy. Never heard of it or the author, but I'll see about tracking down a copy. From your description, it does sound a bit like Wolfe and Archie. The yacht taking the place of the Manhattan brownstone.
I always love to see how folks complete this particular challenge. Well done!
ReplyDeleteYvette: I have a spread sheet...that's the only way I can keep track. :-( That's my sad face for "no more challenges"...not even a Vintage Challenge?
ReplyDeleteThanks, Ryan & Debbie too!
