The What’s In A Name Challenge is being hosted again for 2023 by Andrea at Carolina Book Nook. I managed to complete the 2022 challenge with just a few days to spare.
The challenge runs from 1st January to 31st December 2023. 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 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?
