February challenge - one book leads to another

Well, when I saw this I thought maybe I should rethink what book I choose next.  I didn't try to do this last year.  I just finished The Big Heat but none of the books I was going to choose from connect with this!!  Thinking, thinking what can I find in the TBR pile, old, new or an order that just arrived today!  You'll see how I did when I post my next book.

three finished and on to the fourth .... then I'm going to have fun for a few hours playing with my TBR piles! 

I love this challenge .... gets me reading and takes care of some oldies in the TBR  .... that's a winning combo for me! 

Donna I guess the trick is to pick titles / authors with common words / names.
I have 6 possibles, but I think that I'm going to end up going with Julia London's The Hazards of Hunting a Duke ~ three reasons:  the authors' names (Julie / Julia), both have Duke in the title and it's the first in a series!  How can I go wrong? 

Since I was already reading/finishing a book, I took the time to compare my tbr list to making this chain work. I didn't want to get into any books that were serials by different authors so that limited the chances some, but by getting to an author, I was then able to rearrange for the next book. I put together 20 for the month...of course I don't think I will read that many before the end of the month, but at least I will get through some of my tbr. This is a great challenge....

Sounds like a fun challenge.  I need to finish up the book I started two weeks ago and get on a roll with this challenge!

I am starting the challenge with the last four books of the Mission Impassioned series even tho they have different authors.  Lori oked it as connecting. With those four I have a possible 12 books, but i'm still looking.

I'm in the "not sure how this will work for me" group.  I'm in the middle of writing my 4th Blaze, and when I write, I have to be particular about what I'm reading.  But I'll give it a try!

Oh Sadhbh ~ 85 books for the rest of the month?  My money's on you... and I promise not a word! 
   I've got up to four or five, but I haven't worked any more on it than that.  But now that I'm doing MUCH better with my TBR (organizing yet again) it should be a lot easier. 

I have already read Sucker Bet by Erin McCarthy - next is Bet Me by Jennifer Crusie - then Beauty and the Bet by Isabel Sharpe.  I can probably do this all month. 

I have too many library books due back next week, I really want to read and their titles will not fit this challenge. Plus, i am still reading the Blaze series in order, so I can't do this mini-challenge after all.

It also means you drag books you might never have read out from the pile, just because the name is good

that's exactly why I like this challenge .... I'm reading books that might have languished for a good long while  ... when we did this in 2006, I read 29 books that July! ... awesome for me ..... I know I won't make that this month (spending too much time here online LOL) ... but I'm going to try to read at least 20 for the month ...

...six books listed that are 'for sures'.  I'm trying to do it using the words in the title, but I did have to go using the author's name in one or two instances.

Question:  some of the subsequent books that I'm looking at, the carryover word is not exactly the same.  For example, I've got Suzanne Enoch's  A Touch of Minx, but one of the followup books I've listed is Dinah McCall's Touchstone.  Does that count?  Or would Dangerous in one title and Danger in a followup title be okay?   *sigh*  Yeah, sometimes I wonder about myself!

That's good to know... otherwise I'd be stalled almost from the beginning.
