What's In A Name Reading Challenge

My decision not to participate in any reading challenges in 2017 meant not participating in one of my favorite challenges, the What's In A Name Reading Challenge hosted by Charlie of The Worm Hole. I plan to join in the fun in 2018, however. I already have some ideas for what books on my TBR shelves to fit into a few of the categories. And although the chances of me sticking to any list I make is low, I still enjoy coming up with some possibilities of books when putting together my sign up post. This time is no different.  I think this one will be quite fun this year!

The challenges runs from January to December, and the idea is to read one book per category. A book cannot count for more than one category. The categories this year are
