Category: What’s In a Name 2

This year I joined the What’s In a Name? Challenge, which has been very enjoyable.  I’m currently reading After the Fine Weather by Michael Gilbert in the Weather category and that will complete this year’s challenge.

Next year the new Challenge is to read one book from each of 6 different categories between January 1, 2009 through December 31, 2009:

A book with a “profession” in its title.

Dear and Glorious Physician – Taylor Caldwell

The Vicar of Wakefield – Oliver Goldsmith

Doctor John Lee of Hartwell – Hugh Hanley

A book with a “time of day” in its title.

The Meaning of Night – Michael Cox,

The Friday Night Knitting Club – Kate Jacobs

A book with a “relative” in its title. 

Sex Life of my Aunt – Mavis Cheek

the Sixth Wife – Suzannah Dunn, Daughters of Fire Barbara Erskine,

My Cousin Rachel – Daphne Du Maurier

A book with a “body part” in its title.

Needle in the Blood – Sarah Bower

A book with a “building” in its title.

Castle Dor – Daphne Du Maurier,

The Wasp Factory, Iain Banks,

The House of Spirits – Isabelle Allende,

The Mill on the Floss – George Eliot

A book with a “medical condition” in its title.

Love in the Time of Cholera – Gabriel Marcia Marquez

These books are all in my to-be-read list, so that should make it not too difficult. My choices in the “body parts” and “medical condition” categories are rather limited at present and of course, I may decide to add different books as time goes by.
