A Book By Any Other Name…Big

by Elisa

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 53 titles containing the weekly word by Midnight Pacific Time this Friday, (with no more than 10 titles commented per person and not including *my* titles in the total.) As we are now in the second series of this game, I offer you a brand new forfeit. If you all get together enough folks and titles to reach the current goal, I will write a poem about that word and post it Saturday. What word will it be? The challenge will remain in effect until I have to post a poem, after which I will issue a new challenge. Good Luck! (Oh, and if you manage to come up with more than ten titles, why not get a friend to come and post them for you? The more, the merrier, and it looks great on my stats.)

Today’s Word is: Big
