The What’s in a Name reading challenge for 2025 is hosted by Andrea @ Carolina Book Nook. Check it out and sign up if you want to join in.

How does it work?

• The challenge runs from January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2025. You can sign up any time, but only count books that you read between those dates.
• Read a book in any format (hard copy, ebook, audio) with a title that fits into each category.
• Don’t use the same book for more than one category.
• Creativity for matching the categories is not only allowed, it’s encouraged!
• You can choose your books as you go or make a list ahead of time.

In 2025, choose 6 books that have titles that contain:

I enjoyed this What’s in a Name reading challenge. It went well, I think. I missed the Deity one. I had planned to read The Games Gods Play by Abigail Owen, but I ran out of year before my library copy became available. I still have it on my list to read.
