Okay, this is how it goes. Player 1 puts up the name of a book, the next player thinks of another name for a book which has something in common with the previous book, and gives the reason for it. Something like :

Player 1: A Bad Beginning
(A series of unfortunate events, Series #1)

Player 2: Flowers in the attic
(The Dollanganger Series #1)

(Both book talk about kids in distress)
OR, (Both books are the first of a series)
