More WiaN6

I have been going through my goodreads.com to-be-read list to come up with ideas for my reading in 2013.

So for the What’s In A Name 6 Challenge, by category:

1. Up/Down – Up the Down Staircase by Bel Kaufman. I do believe this was on a personal challenge to read something from the New York Times bestseller list from the year I was born. It was the only book on the list written by a woman.

2. Kitchen – Miss Leavitt’s Stars (because the subtitle has the word MEASURE in it; counts?)

3. Party – Polysyllabic Spree by Nick Hornsby (because the subtitle has the word HILARIOUS which is a form of ‘hilarity’ which, to me, conjures up the fun of a good party. Am I being TOO creative?) or The Widow Clicquot because it is about making champagne!

4. Fire – LOTS of choices here… probably Catching Fire (no, I haven’t read it yet – crazy, huh?)

5. Emotion – The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind because the subtitle mentions HOPE.

6. Lost/Found – Songs for the Missing by Stewart O’Nan, another author I really want to try.

This is my favorite challenge because it focuses my attention on books I keep saying I want to read. Usually, I concentrate on books I already own, too. I reserve the right to change my mind when I get the chance to glance at my bookshelves.

If anyone wants to readalong with me any of these books, let me know.
