I came across this reading challenge on Lynne’s Fictionophile blog earlier this year and it occurred to me I should take another look to see how many of the categories I still have to match. It turns out the answer is one, for which I need your help!
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 – One Last Time by Helga Flatland
Time – A Hundred Million Years and a Day by Jean-Baptiste Andrea
A body of water – A Long Petal of the Sea by Isobel Allende
The name of a bird – Suggest one, please!
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!

I just had a look on Goodreads and found a Cat among the Pigeons by Agatha Christie. Is that any good?

You genius! I just spotted I have a copy of that on my bookshelf. It’s ages since I read an Agatha Christie too.

That would have to be a reread to count for the challenge but it would be a good excuse to enjoy it again so thanks for the suggestion 😁

I have two with owls in the title – Queen of the Owls by Barbara Lynne Probst, and A Funeral for an Owl by Jane Davis – both very good books (I’ve reviewed both on my blog)!

Oh, there’s a third owl one – Death of an Owl by Paul Torday – his last novel, which was actually finished by his son.
