A Book by Any Other Name - South
Welcome to this week’s A Book By Any Other Name!
The game works like this: Each week I will choose a word and offer a few titles that I’ve come up with containing that word in the title. Then it’s your turn to come up with book titles containing the same word, without duplication (yes, that includes my titles.) I would also like the author, but that is just so I can find the book if I want to read it.
The current challenge: I challenge you all to reach 32 titles containing the weekly word by midnight Friday, (with no more than 10 titles commented per person and not including *my* titles in the total.)
My forfeit? For this challenge I’d like to do a little something different that will hopefully have the both of us smiling. Right now, Dr. Hal W. Lanse is giving away copies of his book Read Well, Think Well which is a book about helping your child to increase his/her reading comprehension and critical thinking skills.
That’s right - by playing the Monday book game, you can enter for your chance to win a copy of this book. (You can also have more chances at getting a copy by going here.)
Whoo-hoo right? Right! As long as you leave a valid email address and are willing to give me your postal address to send the book, then we’re good to go!
So if you’d like a copy of this wonderful book, join in!
If you don’t reach the goal, we’ll try again next week. If you reach the goal, I’ll have a brand new challenge for you next Monday where you’ll get another chance.
(If you’re feeling pouty about the ten titles per person limit, why not get a friend to come and comment as well? The more, the merrier.)
The word this week is:
