What's In a Name Reading Challenge

Host: Beth F of Beth Fish Reads

Details: For more details, including rules and how to sign yourself up, visit Beth at What's In a Name Reading Challenge.

Challenge: Read SIX books in 2010, one in each of the following categories:

1. A book with a FOOD in the title.

2. A book with a BODY OF WATER in the title.

3. A book with a TITLE (queen, president, duke...) in the title.

4. A book with a PLANT in the title.

5. A book with a PLACE NAME in the title.

6. A book with a MUSIC term in the title.

I saw this challenge on Beth's blog a while ago and passed right over it at the time, not really thinking of any challenges other than the In Death Reading Challenge I was hosting. But then I saw it again on someone else's blog (I can't remember where!) and thought it might be fun to try to do. Amazingly, I found titles from my TBR shelf and my Library List that satisfy all of the requirements, so here is my tentative list as I may change my mind if something better comes along.

FOOD . . 1. The Sugar Queen by Sarah Addison Allen 4.06.10
BODY OF WATER . . 2. Tomorrow River by Lesley Kagen 9.9.10
A 'TITLE' . . 3. Except the Queen by Jane Yolen & Midori Snyder 4.03.10

A PLANT . . 4. Bed of Roses by Nora Roberts 1.20.10
A PLACE . . 5. Looking for Alaska by John Green 8.5.10
MUSIC TERM . . 6. Ballad by Maggie Stiefvater 6.20.10

To keep track of my progress, I'll come back and darken the books as I finish reading them. If it's gray, I haven't read it yet.
