What's In A Name 2010 Challenge

Beth at What's In A Name is hosting an interesting reading challenge for 2010. Its only 6 books and can overlap other challenges. Easy peasy!!


So here's how it works: Between January 1 and December 31, 2010, read one book in each of the following categories:

1.A book with a food in the title: Clockwork Orange, Grapes of Wrath, The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society
2.A book with a body of water in the title: A River Runs through It, Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters, The Lake House
3.A book with a title (queen, president) in the title: The Murder of King Tut, The Count of Monte Cristo, Lady Susan
4.A book with a plant in the title: A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, Wind in the Willows, The Name of the Rose
5.A book with a place name (city, country) in the title: Out of Africa; London; Between, Georgia
6.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.
