What’s In A Name Reading Challenge 2018: Wrap-Up

The What’s In A Name Challenge 2018 is hosted by Charlie at The Worm Hole. The challenge involves reading a book that matches each of the categories shown below.

With some swapping of titles from my original list and reading up to the wire (I only finished the last book, Bitter Orange, on New Year’s Eve), I’m pleased to say I managed to read books that fitted all six categories.  (Follow the link from the title to read my review.)

It was a fun challenge but more difficult than it might seem…especially that pesky Z category.

The word ‘the’ used twice    The Boy At The Door by Alex Dahl

A fruit or vegetable               Bitter Orange by Claire Fuller

A shape                                    Diamond Cut Diamond by Jane Jakeman

A title that begins with Z      Zoo Station by David Downing
(can be after ‘The’ or ‘A’)
