Hello. In January My Name Is...

[Lanelle, Production Chief]

I've noticed that there are a lot of random name generators online. They can be quite fun. They can also become a reading challenge!

Follow the link to the name generator website and create yourself (or a loved one or pet) a new name. Read a book that is somehow associated with that new name. It's as easy as that :)

You can read more than one book for your new name, or you can go back and create a bunch of new names and read books for those names. It's your decision. Just have fun!

No page limit.
Re-reads and audio books are okay.
Be sure to date and rate your book.
Duration: January 1 - 31, 2020

This month your new name will be a Code Name. Just clicking on the link will give you a name. If you don't like the name you're given, you may hit the "See Another" button up to two more times.

[Gil-or (readingbooksinisrael)]

My code name is...Shy Wolf.

I'm choosing Chomp. Since it takes place in Florida I don't think it will have a wolf, but it has wild animals and the main character seems to be a shy kid from the back summary.

Unfortunately, I dnf'ed it. We'll see if I get back to this challenge later this month.

[Connie]

My code name is Fatal Wolf.

I think I'll read one of these: A Fatal Waltz, The Scent of Death, The Death of Innocents, A Wolf in the Woods, He who Fears the Wolf, or A Death on the Wolf.

Or something else that jumps out at me.

[Maria]

Code name is Greedy Aurora. I will read an Aurora Johnson mystery by Sybil Johnson.

Dying for Diamonds 01/29

[Ketutar]

In January 2020, my name is Needy Lyric

And this was hard. I thought it would be as easy as just to paste this to the search square, but noooo.... not that easy.
So... books called "Needy", there should be... what? Not many. And most of them reviewed by just a couple of people if any. And even though I'm pretty certain these books are worth reading and I might even like them... no. Nothing that caught me.
So - I googled "Needy Lyric", and of course got the lyrics to Needy. Nope.
I googled books with needy characters. Nothing. WHAT IS GOING ON!!!
So, I went to the pictures and checked out a couple of books.



These seem to be about "needy" people and somewhat poetic, lyrical, romantic...

[Vicki]

Oh great! Now I’m OCEAN LIZARD 🦎

My code name ended up being Plastic Diamond, which hopefully won't be too hard. If all else fails, any romance with an engagement ring or a wedding would work. ^_^

[Edit] I just found the perfect book on my tbr shelf for my code name: The Ugly Duckling by Iris Johansen. The main character gets plastic surgery after being attacked. I kinda feel proud of myself for thinking of that when it's almost 5am.

I'm a bit behind, but I finished The Ugly Duckling on the 25th, and it involved not only a main character who got plastic surgery, but a main character who was a plastic surgeon. It ended up being a really good book, so I'm glad I finally got around to reading it for this challenge.
