SqueakyChu's - Six Degrees of Separation

I'm going to use my 999 Challenge categories. I'll start with the first category and move toward the last. I might not read books in order, though.




Biographies or Memoirs

1. The Longest Trip Home - John Grogan - CURRENT READ

*** Both books are listed as selections for The Library of Congress's "one book" reading promotion projects

2. The Soloist - Mark Salzman

*** Both authors, at one time, lived in Los Angeles, California, USA

3. Scream Queens of the Dead Sea - Gilad Albom

*** Both book are debut novels.

4. American Rust - Philipp Meyer

*** Both books have the word America in the title

5. Diet for a New America - John Robbins - the book mentions animals within the food industry

***Both books have an animal in the story

6. Olive Kitteridge - Elizabeth Strout - a cat named Slippers is in this book

There's an Animal in this book!

Moving along to Part 2.

Actually, since John Grogan wrote Marley & Me, I've done it with two books!

Just kidding. I'll do the full six degrees...

Way to link your challenges! I think combining them makes it a bit more fun :)

#2 I know this is just for fun, but I still think that would be considered cheating! ;-)

I'm having fun trying to link books. See books # 1 and 2 above to see how I discovered how to link two highly "unlikely-to-be-matched" book. Granted that it's pretty looooooooong list. :D

Hehe! My second book has an animal in that book, too! (a cat named Smokey)

Way to make the first connection something not obvious!

I think now, you should have a sort-of goal that all of your books have an animal :)

Actually, I only found the cat in the very last chapter of my second book. I was surprised to find an animal in that book at all.

I think now, you should have a sort-of goal that all of your books have an animal

Nah! To easy!! :D

Now I have to figure out how to join the two disparate parts! :)

Challenge complete!

I did it in 31 days. Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congrats!

Thanks! I wasn't sure how I was going to do this, but I kept listing all my books until they eventually hooked together.

*thinking*

Shall I do another one?

I decided, yes, to do another one. Here it is!
