I have no idea why I overlooked your comment. Only just now, when I prepared the next post, I saw that you had posted here. Sorry.<br /><br />Anyway, it was the first time I did this, so I thought I better tell everyone the background.<br /><br />I'm really having fun with this. The new one was a little tougher because the title can't really be linked to anything. But I found a way. Watch this space.

And "The Children of Gebelawi", another great book by Naguib Mahfouz. Glad you liked his books.<br /><br />This was my first time with this challenge. It was the first that came to mind when I saw the title.<br /><br />Next time will be a little harder to use the words in the title (no other book with "Phosphorescence", LOL) but I already have an idea. Maybe in April?<br /><br />Thanks for your visit. I'm curious as to what you came up with.

I think you might enjoy all of these.<br /><br />I first wanted to start with "My Name is Red" which is my favourite by Orhan Pamuk but then I thought redheaded and red-haired is even better.<br /><br />Anyway, always nice to see your face.

But I loved using the words in the titles, was fun.<br /><br />I always like to know where words or expressions come from, so I just had to google it. And then I like to pass on that knowledge. Isn't it interesting?<br /><br />Thanks for your visit.Marianne https://www.blogger.com/profile/11810275740213848634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1009417175818512962.post-60277480027870871412021-02-16T12:50:37.023+01:002021-02-16T12:50:37.023+01:00Thanks, Davida.

I had a lot of other books with that word but ended up using this one because "Red-haired" is as close to "redhead" as you can get.<br /><br />Thanks for your visit and your comment.
