What's in a name?

What’s in a name (reference, moniker)?

This is an annual challenge (contest, competition) hosted by Beth Fish Reads.

Each year (365 days, 12 months), she composes a list (items) of categories (classes, divisions), and asks us to read books (print edition, audio format, e-book) for each.

This year’s categories, and some examples of titles that would meet each theme:

  1. A book with a topographical feature (land formation) in the title: Black Hills, Purgatory Ridge, Emily of Deep Valley
  2. A book with something you’d see in the sky in the title: Moon Called, Seeing Stars, Cloud Atlas
  3. A book with a creepy crawly in the title: Little Bee, Spider Bones, The Witches of Worm
  4. A book with a type of house in the title: The Glass Castle, The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet’s Nest, Ape House
  5. A book with something you’d carry in your pocket, purse, or backpack in the title: Sarah’s Key, The Scarlet Letter, Devlin Diary
  6. A book with a something you’d find on a calendar in the title: Day of the Jackal, Elegy for April, Freaky Friday, Year of Magical Thinking
