2014-2015 Mid-Year "What's In a Name?" Challenge

[Jannelle]

Hello everyone! As Shannon mentioned in her "TBR Pile" Challenge, we are going through many changes here at PA&N and since we missed the opportunity for a yearly challenge starting in January, we thought why not have one starting in June?

This Challenge is called, "What's in a Name?" and will run from June 1st 2014 through May 31st 2015.

Any books read for this challenge may also be used in other challenges!

There are 3 difficulty levels to choose from:

Beginner - 10 books
Dedicated - 15 books
Obsessed - 20 books

I know that in years past, the custom was to do 5 for beginner and 10 for dedicated; however, we have decided to increase the difficulty level here. Just remember that whether you finish 5 or 20, you are still challenging yourself and that is the whole point of the challenges!

Here are the rules:
1. Choose your difficulty level and create a post so that a link can be made which we will all be able to reference.
2. If you change your difficulty level at any point in time, DO NOT DELETE THE POST. Simply edit your original post with your new difficulty level.
3. As you continue to complete the books on your list, go back to your original post and add the books and the date which you completed them in conjunction with the topic you had selected for that particular book.
4. ALL TOPICS MAY ONLY BE USED ONCE. Same is said for books. You cannot use the same book for 2 or more different topics. You can, however, use the same book for other challenges you may be participating in. :)
5. The books chosen can be from ANY genre and are all only limited to the topics selected from the list below.

1. Book with a color in the cover title.
2. Book with a number in the cover title.
3. Book with a witch on the cover/title name.
4. Book with a faerie on the cover/title name.
5. Book with a demon on the cover/title name.
6. Book with an angel on the cover/title name.
7. Book with a season/weather reference in the cover title (Hot in Hell, Summer of Love, Rainy Days of Summer)
8. Elemental reference in the cover title (earth, wind, fire, water)
9. Book with a vampire on the cover/title name.
10. Book with a time reference in the cover title (After... 2 minutes...Before...)
11. Emotion in the cover title (Thrill Ride)
12. Book with the Author sharing your name (forename, surname, whatever!)
13. Book with a character sharing your name (same as above and doesn't have to be exact ; just similar enough!)
14. Book with a dragon on the cover/title name.
15. Book with a shifter (any type) on the cover/title name.
16. Book with a mostly dark cover.
17. Book with a mostly white cover.
18. A book that also has a movie released based on it (The Fault in Our Stars)
19. A book that also has a TV Show released based on it (Trueblood/ Sookie Stackhouse series)
20. Book with a title mentioning something you would find on a shelf (any shelf).

Last, but not least, when you have completed your challenge, please put a bold "Completed" or "Finished" at the top of your post.

Alright everyone, remember to be creative!
These topics shouldn't be taken too seriously and have some fun bending the rules a bit.
If you have any questions, be sure to post them here as a new comment but please remember not to delete any posts!

Have Fun!

A question though, since this is a year challenge can I use the books in other challenges?
