What's in a Name reading challenge

I also found the second What's in a Name reading challenge in September:
*This is a challenge that anyone can join, no matter what types of books they like to read. You should be able to find books from any genre that will work.

*Dates: January 1, 2009 through December 31, 2009

*The Challenge: Choose one book from each of the following categories.

1. A book with a "profession" in its title. Examples might include: The Book Thief, The Island of Dr. Moreau, The Historian

2. A book with a "time of day" in its title. Examples might include: Twilight, Four Past Midnight, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time

3. A book with a "relative" in its title. Examples might include: Eight Cousins, My Father's Dragon, The Daughter of Time

4. A book with a "body part" in its title. Examples might include: The Bluest Eye, Bag of Bones, The Heart of Darkness

5. A book with a "building" in its title. Examples might include: Uncle Tom's Cabin, Little House on the Prairie, The Looming Tower

6. A book with a "medical condition" in its title. Examples might include: Insomnia, Coma, The Plague

My books were:
1. Alcatraz Versus the Evil Librarians, by Brandon Sanderson
2. Night of the Fox, by Jack Higgins
3. Sister Light, Sister Dark, by Jane Yolen
4. Arm of the Starfish, by Madeleine L'Engle
5. The Secret of the Old Mill, by "Franklin W Dixon."
6. Dead Girl Walking, by Linda Joy Singleton

No, I didn't write reviews of any of these - as I've mentioned before, I hate writing book reviews. But you can check the reviews posted on Amazon by following the above links.
