Nadine's Mini Challenge

0/10

1. A book involving genetics and/or genealogy (because we have 23 pairs of chromosomes).
2. The 23rd book on a list (your TBR list, for example).
3. A book with five words in the title (because 2+3=5).
4. A book based on Norse mythology (connection: Vanadium is the 23rd element and was named for Vanadis aka Freya).
5. A book about sheep or shepherds (because Psalm 23 starts "The Lord is my shepherd").
6. A book with flames on the cover or in the title (because a movie "23" was made about hacker Karl Koch who burned to death - possibly suicide - at the age of 23) - LOL this is such a reach, but it would still make a good category!!
7. A title that starts with W (23rd letter in the English alphabet).
8. A book set on an island (because 23 is one of the recurring numbers in LOST 4 8 15 16 23 42).
9. A book about or set in an ancient civilization. (Julius Caesar was stabbed 23 times).
10. A book less than 230 pages long.
