To be a TCF Copy Cat, you must duplicate some aspect of the chosen book.

It could be a word from the title, the author's name, something on the cover, the genre, the year it was first published, the plot, or a main character's name. The possibilities to imitate are endless.

Levels:
a bit familiar: 1-2 books
just 'inspiration': 3-4 books
too close for comfort: 5-6 books
blatant plagiarism: 7+ books
ultimate copy cat: read the book

Rules:
Duration : May 1 - 31, 2017
Books must be at least 150 pages.
You must state how your book copies this month's book.


This month's book is The Art of Racing in the Rain
