Book Chain Challenge

[Lanelle]

How This Works:
1. Choose your first book.
2. Book 2 must have a word from Book 1's title.
3. Keep doing that until you reach the number of books that you feel confident reading within a year.

Duration:
This is a yearlong challenge.

Rules:
Use the actual word found in the previous title and not a variation of it.
One word titles are not going to work for this challenge, unless it is Book 1.
Books must be in the public domain.
No page limits.


Example of a book chain:
Book 1: Plain Tales From the Hills by Rudyard Kipling
Book 2: The Hills of Refuge by William N. Harben
Book 3: The Lonely Island: The Refuge of the Mutineers by R.M. Ballantyne
Book 4:The Secret of the Island by Jules Verne
Book 5: The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett
Book 6: The Rose Garden Husband by Margaret Widdemer
Book 7: The Rose and the Ring by William Makepeace Thackeray
Book 8: Hand and Ring by Anna Katharine Green
Book 9: Hidden Hand by E.D.E.N. Southworth
Book 10: Tom Swift and His Big Tunnel, or, the Hidden City of the Andes by Victor Appleton


(This idea was borrowed from The Challenge Factory)
