What's in a Name 4 Challenge

I had so much fun with the What's in a Name 3 challenge this year that I knew I had to do the challenge again in 2011.  It's so challenging, yet a ton of fun, to find books to fit the different topics.

Beth Fish Reads is hosting this challenge and the What's in a Name 4 challenge has it's own dedicated blog.


Here's How It Works

Between January 1 and December 31, 2011, read one book in each of the following categories:

1. A book with a number in the title: First to Die, Seven Up, Thirteen Reasons Why
2. A book with jewelry or a gem in the title: Diamond Ruby, Girl with a Pearl Earring, The Opal Deception
3. A book with a size in the title: Wide Sargasso Sea, Small Wars, Little Bee
4. A book with travel or movement in the title: Dead Witch Walking, Crawling with Zombies, Time Traveler's Wife
5. A book with evil in the title: Bad Marie, Fallen, Wicked Lovely
6. A book with a life stage in the title: No Country for Old Men, Brideshead Revisited, Bog Child

The book titles are just suggestions, you can read whatever book you want to fit the category.

Other Things to Know

• Books may be any form (audio, print, e-book).
• Books may overlap other challenges.
• Books may not overlap categories; you need a different book for each category.
• Creativity for matching the categories is not only allowed but encouraged.
• You do not have to make a list of books before hand.
• You do not have to read through the categories in any particular order.

As usual, I'm going to list the books that I'll attempt to read for this challenge.  These are all books that I already own.  The only exception is Jewelry or Gem..because I haven't found a title yet.
