Happy new year! This is the gateway post for What’s In A Name 2014 which is now in its seventh year. Below are the links to the pages for each category, as well as the wrap up page. As you read and review your chosen books, add the review links to these pages so that everyone can follow the progress and find out what’s being read for the challenge.
If you’re seeing this post and wishing you’d signed up, never fear, you can sign up at any time (right up until late December if you want to!) The sign-up page includes all the rules and information you need to know. If you don’t want to review your books that’s okay, just leave a comment on the appropriate page instead.
I declare this challenge officially open!
The page for a reference to time
The page for a position of royalty
The page for a number written in letters
The page for a forename or names
The page for a type or element of weather
The page for your wrap up links (or to leave a comment to say you’re finished)
Bonus category: The page for a school subject
Please read this page for details about the sixth category, which was added to the challenge on 28th February

Laura: I’ve got a couple of text links for the moment. I gave the logo a try but it didn’t work well so I’m going to change things around a bit and see if I can get it to look better.

I would just like to know if any or all of these titles might work for the sixth category

The Secret History
Mastering the art of Soviet Cooking

Hi Jane, yes, any of those will work. Angelology would be a fun pick, subject-wise, and you’ve got ‘Art’ as well as ‘Cooking’ in Bremzen’s book. Hope you enjoy whichever you pick. I’ve heard great words on The History Boys and read and liked Von Bremzen’s book.
