What’s In A Name 2017





I enjoyed the last, or still current reading challenge, since I haven't written the last two posts yet. This year's categories are:
  • A number in numbers (84, Charing Cross Road; 12 Years A Slave; 31 Dream Street)
  • A building (The Old Curiosity Shop; I Capture The Castle; House Of Shadows; The Invisible Library; Jamaica Inn)
  • A title which has an ‘X’ somewhere in it (The Girl Next Door; The Running Vixen)
  • A compass direction (North and South; Guardians Of The West; The Shadow In The North; NW)
  • An item/items of cutlery (The Subtle Knife; Our Spoons Came From Woolworths)
  • A title in which at least two words share the same first letter – alliteration! (The Great Gatsby; The Luminous Life Of Lilly Aphrodite; Gone Girl; The Cuckoo’s Calling)

More information on the challenge can be found at The Worm Hole. 

Is it only me, or is next year's choice more ... uhm ... challenging? I know I don't have to decide what to read right away, but anyway. Let's see how close I'll stick to the list.


My list


  • A number in numbers: 7 Days In the Art World by Sarah Thornton;
  • A building: House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski;
  • A title which has an ‘X’ somewhere in it: A Place of Execution by Val McDermid;
  • A compass direction: South of the Border, West of the Sun by Haruki Murakami;
  • An item/items of cutlery: The Garden of Forking Paths by Jorge Luis Borges;
  • A title in which at least two words share the same first letter – alliteration: The Cyclist Conspiracy by Svetislav Basara.

Novo leto, nov bralni izziv. Letošnje kategorije so: številka, zgradba, X, smer neba, jedilni pribor in ponavljanje začetnih črk besed. Vse to se mora pojaviti v naslovu knjig, ki jih izberemo za branje. Ni jih treba izbrati takoj, vendar je zame del uživancije ravno v tem, da se poglobim v splošni seznam za branje, ki ga kopičim na različnih papirnatih in elektronskih mestih, in vidim kaj se sklada z zgornjimi kategorijami. Lahko, da bom na koncu brala nekaj drugega. Letos sem tudi eno knjigo zamenjala, ker tista prvotno izbrana ni in ni šla nikamor.

  1. Thanks for joining, Ana and hope the last posts for this year go well :) the hope is the more challenging categories are balanced by the relatively easier ones ;)
