The What’s In A Name Challenge is being hosted again for 2024 by Andrea at Carolina Book Nook. Having succeeded in completing the challenge last year, I’m going to join in again.
The challenge runs from 1st January to 31st December 2024. 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. (Andrea has provided some examples for each category on the challenge sign-up page.) You can’t use the same book for more than one category but creativity in 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 from my TBR pile but I’m finding the last category impossible to find a match for at the moment. Links from the title will take you to the book’s entry on Goodreads (or, at some point, my review).
Double Letters A Dry Spell by Clare Chambers

A bit tenuous but I’m still stumped by the footwear one.

I’ve only got the double letters, the shape, and the footwear (if a ballet POINT slipper works). I might have a virtue, but the NFL one is going to be hard!

‘Point’ is clever, I may have to be more creative!

I kind of fudged it with mine this year. For the NFL I used the name of a college team, but one that ended up being the team that has had more of their players chosen by the NFL. For the footwear, I used a book that had ballet slippers on the cover. I’ve already got the crime one for this year, so maybe I’ll make it proper this time!
