I found this on one of the blogs I follow, Books are the New Black who found it at One Book More. It was originally created by Reviews from the Stacks, and the idea is to spell the month using the first letter of book titles.
May: Freebie
May is a month where we may choose our topic. Sometimes, that's good, sometimes you think for ages what books you will choose. I decided to take girls' names this month
MAY
M
Ruiz Zafón, Carlos "Marina" (Spanish: Marina) - 1999
Singer, Isaac Bashevis "Yentl, the Yeshiva Boy" (Yidd: נטל בחור ישיבה/Yenṭl der Yeshive-boḥer) - 1983* * *
Happy Reading!

May's such a short month, but with a Y in it it's not an easy one.
ReplyDeleteI know, Lark. But since it was a Freebie, I checked what books I had with a Y and since Yentl is a girl's name, it was easy to find two others with M and A. ;)
DeleteSmart! I wouldn't have thought to do that.
DeleteDesperate times need desperate measures, Lark. ;)
DeleteI hope I've got that Yentl story in my collection of Singer's stories!
ReplyDeleteAnon, I have no idea who you are, I guess you are one of the bloggers I constantly communicate with. I hope you have the story. Enjoy.
DeleteI haven't read them, but great idea!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Emma. I always try to stick to the topic or to one if we have a freebie. Doesn't always work out like this one.
DeleteI love the books I have read by Carlos Ruiz Zafon but I don't think I have heard of Marina before!
ReplyDeleteThose Y letters are tricky aren't they!
Thanks, Marg. It's a shorter story than his "adult" books, this is a young adult one. But just as great as the other ones.
DeleteAnd tell me about it. And we need four of them throughout the year!!! Yikes!
