Although I haven't yet finished this year's What's in a Name Challenge (two books finished, three books in progress and one not yet started....any chance of completing it before the end of the year?), I like the categories for round two. I don't know yet if I'll formally join, but I thought it would be fun to see what books I could come up with for each subject. Some were harder than I expected, but I tried to come up with three choices even though I would just be reading one book for each group. I only looked at books that I already own, and if I do decide to join the challenge, I'll be ready to go. Thanks to BooksPlease for the heads up on this one.
A book with a "profession" in its title.
The Glassblower of Murano by Marina Fiorato.
The Lady's Maid by Margaret Forster.
The Lace Reader by Brunonia Barry.
A book with a "time of day" in the title.
Frost at Morning by Richmal Crompton.
The Night Watch by Sarah Waters.
In the Dark by Deborah Moggach.
A book with a "relative" in the title.
Uncle Silas by J. Sheridan Le Fanu.
Wives and Daughters by Elizabeth Gaskell.
Daughters of the North by Sarah Hall.
A book with a "body part" in the title.
Cover Her Face by P.D. James.
Eye in the Door by Pat Barker.
Every Eye by Isobel English.
A book with a "building" in its title.
House at Midnight by Lucie Whitehouse.
The Drinking Den by Emile Zola.
The Post-Office Girl by Stefan Zweig.
A book with a "medical condition" in the title.
Human Traces by Sebastian Faulks.
A Sight for Sore Eyes by Ruth Rendell.
Loving, Living, Party Going by Henry Green.
The last category was the hardest, and my choices are a bit of a stretch (is being "human" or "living" a medical condition--oh well, close enough). Actually this was fun and I might just try and read from the list after all, though as usual, I reserve the right to substitute when necessary.
