What's in a Name? 2017

The challenge is from January to December 2017.  Read one book from each category and don't overlap categories.  I'm super excited!

All of the books I have listed are ones I've found in my existing TBR list that qualify.  I may or may not read them, but I was excited that I found titles for a couple of these categories without searching long!

A number in numbers:  Orphan Number 8  by: Kim van Alkemade

A building:  The Charmed Children of Rookskill Castle  by: Janet Fox

A title that has an X somewhere in it:  Oryx & Crake  by: Margaret Atwood

A compass direction:  South of Broad  by: Pat Conroy

An item of cutlery: The Bastards and the Knives  by: Scott Lynch  (which I have heard will be published in March and I've also heard it will never be published....so...)

A title in which at least two words share the same first letter:  Stolen Songbird  by: Danielle L. Jensen
