As you know I have joined next year’s What’s in a Name challenge, hosted by Beth F. Even though it is not compulsory I decided to try and compile a list of books fitting the categories — just to keep myself on track. Of course I might change titles along the way.
- Category food: Living Among Meat Eaters by Carol J. Adams (non-fiction), or The Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet by David Mitchell (‘Zoet’ in this title being a Dutch surname meaning ‘sweet’).
* read in April – May * - Category body of water: Last Night in Twisted River by John Irving,
or The Sea, The Sea by Iris Murdoch.
* read in July *
- Category title: The Housekeeper and the Professor by Yoko Ogawa.
* read in January * - Category plant: The Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver.
* read in August *
And The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger.
* read in August – September * - Category place name: Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi ( an ancient capital, Unesco World Heritage Site in what is now Iran)
* read in September *
Or The China Lover by Ian Buruma. - Category music term: Her Fearful Symmetry by Audrey Niffenegger.
* read in April *
And Silence by Shusaku Endo.
* read in June *
Can I start now? Please? ;)

This is an interesting and eclectic challenge! And I like your choice of books, some of which I plan to read in the near future! I’m also making my list of books to read for next year which is exciting but rather daunting. At least if you have a year long challenge you know that you have a chance! But then I keep remembering all the books I find throughout the year so it will be challenging (hah!)

The only book I’ve read already from your list is the Poisonwood Bible. I really enjoyed it.
