Say My Name, Say My Name

A Life in Books takes up the "What's in a Name" reading challenge for 2008 - to read:

• A book with a color in its title.
• A book with an animal in its title.
• A book with a first name in its title.
• A book with a place in its title.
• A book with a weather event in its title.
• A book with a plant in its title.

Hmm, I just might do that, but I was wondering how my 2007 reading fared for this challenge. Let's see what I have. I'll link to my blog entries keeping track of my 52 books in 52 weeks challenge.

A book with a color in its title:

• Peter Spiegelman, Black Maps

A book with an animal in its title:

• Douglas Preston, Tyrannosaur Canyon
• Tony Hillerman, Sinister Pig
• Blake Snyder, Save the Cat!
• Lorrie Morris, Who Will Run The Frog Hospital
• Lyall Watson, The Whole Hog
• John Brunner, The Sheep Look Up
• Ruth Rendell, An Unkindness of Ravens

A book with a first name in its title:

• J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows

A book with a place in its title:

• Douglas Preston, Tyrannosaur Canyon
• David Kamp, The United States of Arugula

A book with a weather event in its title:

A book with a plant in its title:

That bodes well. I think I should take up the challenge.
