What’s In A Name? challenge
I’ve never done a book challenge before, but I decided that as one of my goals for this year is to read at least 50 books, it might help to have at least a few guidelines to help me start out. 
If you’re interested in joining, too, you can find more information here. Good times! And now, here are a few of the books I’m considering from what I have in my library at the moment.
1. A book with a color in its title.
The Golden Compass by Philip Pullman
2. A book with an animal in its title.
The Maltese Falcon by Dashiell Hammett
3. A book with a first name in its title.
Michelangelo and the Pope’s Ceiling by Ross King
Tess of the D’Urbervilles by Thomas Hardy
4. A book with a place in its title.
The Madonnas of Leningrad (ARC) by Debra Dean
The African Dream by Ernesto “Che” Guevara
(I’m also planning on rereading The Poisonwood Bible after reading Guevara, both to compare the two and because I love the latter)
5. A book with a weather event in its title.
The Mists of Avalon by Marion Zimmer Bradley
There Is A Tide by Agatha Christie
(I wanted to include only books I hadn’t read, but I don’t own any books in this category that I haven’t read, so I picked two I’ve been meaning to reread)
6. A book with a plant in its title.
The Secret History of the Pink Carnation by Laura Willig
The Virgin in the Garden by A.S. Byatt
