Thanks Laura!!

[Megan]

Thank you so much! I was just about to ask about this lol

[Kristina Simon]

Would Girl Sleuth: Nancy Drew and the Women Who Created Her work?

[Jennifer]

Yay! Great place to fit The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest! :)

[Cait]

Yay, I could fit in The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat and Other Clinical Tales.

No the title needs to start with the phrase.

[Kristina Simon]

Thanks, Cynthia! In that case, I'm going to follow Jennifer L. and go with The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest unless I find something else (always gotta keep the options open).

[Deana]

Lillian Braun
writes the series with "The cat who...."
They are really easy reads...short mysteries about a man who has cats that "help" him solve mysteries.

The Girl Who Chased the Moon by Sarah Addison Allen

[Jamie (The Perpetual Page-Turner)]

The Girl Who Fell From the Sky

[Elizabeth (Alaska)]

The Goodreads list above is very good. Lawrence Block writes fun and light-hearted mysteries, many of which fit this task.

The Man Who Loved Books Too Much: The True Story of a Thief, a Detective, and a World of Literary Obsession

[Manday]

I am using Those Who Save Us

That doesn't work for this it needs to be The ______ Who...

[Belinda]

I'm going with: The Man Who Ate Everything by Jeffrey Steingarten

This one has been on my TBR pile for a while.

[Donna Jo]

I think I will be using The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind by William Kamkwamba. It's been sitting on my Reader for several months now.

Is The Man Who Would Be King and Other Stories okay?

I'm not sure if the "Other Stories" makes a difference?

[Manday]

oops! Guess I will use The Girl Who Chased the Moon instead!

That's fine.

Thanks Cynthia.

Some readers may like The Man Who Loved Children by Christina Stead, but by the time I read 200 or so pages I couldn't stand any of the characters. Tossing that one out and going with The Man Who Would Be King and Other Stories by Rudyard Kipling which I know I'll like.

[Dee]

The Woman Who Rides Like a Man? I was mentioning the other day how long it had been since I read this series and would like to do a re-read

[Lindsey]

Would Father Joe: The Man Who Saved My Soul work?

[Cynthia]

[Jen]

The Woman Who Knew Gandhi: A Novel

The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat and Other Clinical Tales

The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon by Stephen King

[Sarah (Mood Reader)]

Can we read a book that is less than 100 pages for this task?

[Liz M]

Sarah wrote: "Can we read a book that is less than 100 pages for this task?"

Copied from the Rules of the Challenge post:
6. Short books (100 pages or less) should be used sparingly and only count for the 5 point tasks (unless otherwise stated).

[Sarah (Mood Reader)]

Sorry, I was thinking of all the The Old Lady who Swallowed the _______ books.

[Petra]

Just clarifying: the book title has to start with "the (person) who", right? Or would this book work for this task:
The Case of the Man Who Died Laughing: From the Files of Vish Puri, Most Private Investigator?


Never mind....I found the answer in Post 8.
