I came across this reading challenge on Lynne’s Fictionophile blog a while ago but it occurred to me recently I should take a look to see if I could match any of the categories with the books I’ve read so far this year. It turns out the answer is yes, quite a few!
A man/boy’s name – Nick by Michael Farris Smith
The name of an animal – The Wolf Den by Elodie Harper
The name of a season – The Dead of Winter by S. J. Parris
The word secret or secrets – A Book of Secrets by Kate Morrison
A number – A Hundred Million Years and a Day by Jean-Baptiste Andrea
So five done, three to go. I have a few books in my TBR pile that would match the remaining categories: refers to time – Nineteen Minutes by Jodi Picoult; refers to a body of water – A Long Petal of the Sea by Isobel Allende; the name of a bird – Swan Song by Kelleigh Greenberg-Jephcott or Magpie Murders by Anthony Horowitz. Now it’s just the small matter of finding time to read them!
If you’re taking part in this or any other reading challenges, how are you getting on? And thanks to Lynne for coming up with yet another challenge I couldn’t resist taking part in!
What Cathy Read Next... 
Ohh how perfect is this! I’ve actually been looking to do a reading challenge in June, so I’m wondering if this would work but also going to try to make LGBT-centric?
