What’s In A Name Challenge 2022 – Sign Up

What's In A Name 2022The What’s In A Name Challenge is being hosted again for 2022 by Andrea at Carolina Book Nook.   You can find out how I got on with the challenge in 2021 here.

The challenge runs from 1st January to 31st December 2022. You can sign up at any time but can only count books you read between those dates. Read a book in any format (hard copy, ebook, audio) with a title that fits into each category. Don’t use the same book for more than one category. Creativity for matching the categories is not only allowed, it’s encouraged! You can choose your books as you go or make a list ahead of time.

I’ve made some provisional selections below, deliberately picking books that have been languishing in my TBR pile for way too long. Links from the title will take you to the book’s entry on Goodreads.  Once I’ve read them, I’ll replace this with a link to my review.

It’s a really fun challenge, so why not sign up to take part yourself?
