I signed up for the What’s in a Name 5 reading challenge this year.  I’ve done it other years as well and it’s fun to find books to fit the categories.  I’ve finished with it, so that’s my second challenge of the year done.  Here’s the rules and here’s what I read; of these 6 books, my favorite was The Honorable Prison, by Lyll Becerra de Jenkins.

Between January 1 and December 31, 2012, read one book in each of the following categories:

1. A book with a topographical feature (land formation) in the title; On Agate Hill, by Lee Smith
2. A book with something you’d see in the sky in the title; Two Suns in the Sky, by Miriam Bat-Ami
3. A book with a creepy crawly in the title; The Witches of Worm, by Zilpha Keatley Snyder
4. A book with a type of house in the title; The Honorable Prison, by Lyll Becerra de Jenkins
5. A book with something you’d carry in your pocket, purse, or backpack in the title; Snow Flower and the Secret Fan, by Lisa See
6. A book with something you’d find on a calendar in the title; The Porcupine Year, by Louise Erdrich

The challenge is to read your name in book title first letters, ultimately spelling out your name: SUSAN

I’ve finished this challenge and it’s only the beginning of March!  For this challenge I read the following:

Saving CeeCee Honeycutt, by Beth Hoffman (3 stars)
Under the Blood-Red Sun, by Graham Salisbury (3 stars)
Shades of Gray, Carolyn Reeder (5 stars)
A Time of Troubles, by Pieter Van Raven (4 stars)
