What's in a Name? Reading Challenge 2010


I have particpated in the What's in a Name? reading challenge for the past two years. I look forward to doing it in 2010. I do not have my list of books picked out yet but when I do I will put it in my sidebar. :)

So here's how it works:


Between January 1 and December 31, 2010, read one book in each of the following categories:



A book with a food in the title: Clockwork Orange, Grapes of Wrath, The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society



A book with a body of water in the title: A River Runs through It, Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters, The Lake House



A book with a title (queen, president) in the title: The Murder of King Tut, The Count of Monte Cristo, Lady Susan



A book with a plant in the title: A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, Wind in the Willows, The Name of the Rose



A book with a place name (city, country) in the title: Out of Africa; London; Between, Georgia



A book with a music term in the title: Song of Solomon, Ragtime, The Piano Teacher





The book titles are just suggestions, you can read whatever book you want to fit the category.





Other Things to Know
Books may be any form (audio, print, e-book).
Books may overlap other challenges.
Books may not overlap categories; you need a different book for each category.
Creativity for matching the categories is allowed.
You do not have to make a list of books before hand.
You do not have to read through the categories in any particular order.
There will be a single prize at the end of the challenge. Readers who complete the challenge and write up a wrap-up post (or wrap-up comment) are eligible. I'll figure out a way to make it international.
