A Book By Any Other Name - War
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 41 titles containing the weekly word by midnight Friday, (with no more than 10 titles commented per person and not including *my* title in the total.)
My forfeit? If you make it to 41 titles, I will draw a name from the participants and that person will win a copy of Sam’s Quest for the Crimson Crystal (read my review here) along with an Australian postcard.
So if you’d like a chance to win a book and a post card, 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 a chance at a new prize.
(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:
