A Book By Any Other Name…Cat
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 challenge continues this week as we have yet to reach the new goal. C’mon folks! I know you can do it! (For the first 2 challenge forfeits go here and here.)
The current challenge: I challenge you all to reach 110 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.) Y’all had no trouble reaching my previous number, so let’s see how quickly this milestone is reached. This time my forfeit will be something I encountered in my files while unsuccessfully trying to find those darn elusive Mice are Nice Poems. It’s a little story about a Mouse and her piano. I wrote it a very long time ago, so I’m not sure that it makes much sense. I hope that this gives you enough incentive to get you to work together to reach your goal. The challenge will remain in effect until I have to post the story, 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.)
