2025 Reading Challenge discussion

I SPY: BOOK TITLES EDITION
Duration: January 1 - December 31, 2016

Read a book that contains in its title a word that can be found in each of the classic book titles. The word needs to be there in its entirety; however, homographs (words that are spelled the same but mean different things) and words within words count. Articles (a, and, the) and any two letter words do not count. For examples, see below:

Allowed
The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle (the "wind" here means something different than the "wind" in Gone with the Wind but is spelled the same way)
The Princess Bride ("prince" from The Little Prince can be found here in its entirety)

Not Allowed
Cat and Mouse ("mouse" is a variation of "mice" from Of Mice and Men but "mice" is not in the title)
Think and Grow Rich (the word to match is "grows" from A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, but only the first four letters "grow" are here)
Insurgent (it contains "in" from A Wrinkle in Time, but "in" is a two letter word so it does not count)

Here are the 25 books:
1. Of Mice and Men
2. A Tale of Two Cities
3. Gone with the Wind
4. A Wrinkle in Time
5. A Tree Grows in Brooklyn
6. The Little Prince
7. Alice's Adventures in Wonderland & Through the Looking-Glass
8. Brave New World
9. Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?
10. The Joy Luck Club
11. The Diary of a Young Girl
12. I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings
13. The Book Thief
14. The God of Small Things
15. Around the World in 80 Days
16. The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time
17. The Time Traveler's Wife
18. All Quiet on the Western Front

20. Where the Red Fern Grows
21. Island of the Blue Dolphins
22. Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe
23. Girl With a Pearl Earring
24. The Call of the Wild

Can we read the actual book that is listed? There are a lot of them I haven't read but would like to, or is that cheating?

We encourage you to find new books - because part of the fun of the I-Spy game is searching for something that fits - but if you'd really like to read the classic, feel free. Bonus points if you do both!

Ooh, fascinating. Put me down for 12! That is, so far at least. :)

EDIT: If there's one advantage to almost having way too many books for Kindle to know what to do with, it's having a whole pile of ideas over a month before the challenge begins =D Feel free to let me know if any of these aren't valid though.

Blagica, I think in that case Alice would be fine. It's really up to you! Still Alice is a great book, by the way.

oh good! i may have questions along the way so bare with me. I don't want to break the rules.

My first 2016 challenge commitment

I am going to go for 10, but will probably read more than this.

Will ponder the list and come back with my choices - but probably will work them out as I go

I wouldn't worry too much about "breaking the rules." We're pretty laid-back about challenges... The goal is to get you to read more, so as long as you're reading and having fun that's all that matters to us.

thank you!

This sounds like fun! I'll try to do as many as I can.

Does that also mean that I can use the word GLASS, even though it says LOOKING-GLASS in the 7th title?

I'd say yes to that - there probably aren't many (any?) other books in the world that have looking-glass hyphenated like that.

In fact, the book I'm planning to use for that one is Mountain of Black Glass.

I'm in for 10!

Okay, thanks!

I have changed my profile name and added a H. Could you change it on the participant list also? I know there's another Marina in the group, so I thought it would make it easier to tell who is who :)

Marina - That does make things WAY easier. I have methods for figuring out who is who, but sometimes I make a mistake. Having slightly different display names avoids the whole problem altogether. :)
