message 2: by Kirsten (new)

Kirsten  (kmcripn) So does the item have to be in the title?

Like #25

Would it be Death of a Dentist or a book about a dentist?

I would rather say Death of a Dentist is perfect - why should we read books about dentists ;-)

I love it how different we all are.

Agnieszka (agnieszka7) | 1462 comments I hope it's fine if I also use my Polish classic (- they have so many pages and I fear I'll struggle pretty much this year to meet my targets :-) An example is listed under 17.

message 15: by Marilee (new)

Marilee (hatchling) | 37 comments I'm unfamiliar with how this challenge works�

I see a list of 25 topics, taking one as an example ie. #11 Product of Fire, though in some of the posts , I see a listing of #11 Product of Fire - heat, ash, flames.

So� does this challenge require reading a book with any of those specific 3 words in the title, or can we meet the challenge by reading a book that includes other words related to Fire, such as perhaps� "embers" in the title?

Marilee, I think the words after the hyphen are just examples. I'm keeping mine to remind myself of what to look for in a title. My opinion? Embers work as a product of fire. Do what you want-have fun! :)


message 17: by Agnieszka (new)

Agnieszka (agnieszka7) | 1462 comments OK a question from non-native: What's the difference between ash and ember?

BTW Marilee: My 'idea list' for 22. Something to read includes tiles with anything but the three examples - Diary, Dossier, Handbook, Manuskript and Chronicle ;-)

ash is the grey flakes left after the fire. Ember is the hot glowing coals. As a native speaker I had to pause on ember definition :)

I just finished Strawberry Shortcake Murder this morning! I was wondering where it could fit in, but had decided it couldn't. I didn't think of putting it under Things that Grow. I think I will do that now :)! Thanks!

Thanks Perri,
I was little bit confused since my dictionary gave me the same translation, but now I see the translation for ember was wrong - how sad if you can't even depend on the good old friend Leo - the dictionary ;-)


message 23: by Patricia (last edited Jan 05, 2016 01:47PM) (new)

Patricia | 1266 comments IMO, the challenge is very laid back - just an outline to follow with suggestions for things in the title.
Examples - I just finished "What She Knew" and will put it under #23 gender identifier for 'she'.
I got a children's book "The Sheepover" and will put it under #21 animal/insect.
I finished the novel "Five" but it was last yeat and would be perfect for #2.

Just enjoy and even stretch your title a bit. These will not be graded. I have some books with 'Kingdom' in the title and will use for #15 Royal Title...I know that's a bit of a stretch but I don't think Sean will kick me out....tyrant (title)!!!! Lol!
