2008: Challenges – The Naming Conventions Challenge

Hey, I finished one challenge, that frees me up for at *least* two more, right?

In Maria’s Naming Conventions Challenge, you choose books to read based on the letters in your first name.  There are three tracts, and you can do any or all of them.  They are:

1. Authors whose last name begins with the letter.
2. Authors whose first name begins with the letter.
3. Book titles that begin with the letter.

I’m going to do all three, but only because I can use books that I’m reading for other challenges!  Here are my picks:

Tract 1: Author Last Name

J: Juster, Norton – The Phantom Tollbooth

A: Atwood, Margaret – The Handmaid’s Tale

I: Iles, Greg – Third Degree

M: Moran, Michelle – Nefertiti

E: Evanovich, Janet – Plum Spooky

Tract 2: Author First Name

J: Joanne Fluke – Chocolate Chip Cookie Murder

A: Allison Brennan – The Prey

I: Ian McEwan – Saturday

Tract 3: Book Title

This challenge doesn’t start until September 1, and it goes for one month per each letter in your name, so for me it ends February 1, 2009.
