What’s In A Name? is being hosted again in 2016 by Charlie at The Worm Hole. It runs from January to December. During this time you choose a book to read from each of the following categories. The titles in brackets are the books I€™ve initially chosen, but this could change over the year as I have more than one for each category.
- A country (Stephen Fry in America)
- An item of clothing (The Black Robe by Wilkie Collins)
- An item of furniture (The Woman Who Went to Bed for a Year by Sue Townsend)
- A profession (The Chimney Sweeper€™s Boy by Barbara Vine )
- A month of the year (The Enchanted April by Elizabeth Von Arnim)
- A title with the word €˜tree€™ in it (The Tree of Hands by Ruth Rendell)
These are the books I did read:
- A country – Sunshine on Scotland Street by Alexander McCall Smith
