Ding, Ding, Ding! Pull on your gloves and shiny shorts and step into the ring for the

 Title Fight Reading Challenge 2016!

Bruce at The Bookshelf Gargoyle has challenged us all to a title fight in the book world:

Think you’ve got what it takes to slam seven books over the course of the year? Easy, right? But what if they had to have something…special…about their titles?

Still game?

Then check out the rules at the link above. Basically, he's given us seven categories and we must find those words or related-words in the titles of the books we read. I scanned through my TBR list and, amazingly enough, I have books that will fit every categories. I'll list possible titles below and will then confirm with dates and links to reviews.
