Whodunit Bookology

I decided to try the new spelling/bookology challenge for next year. As I did with   this year's Blossom Bookolgy, I will do my best to interpret this one.


There are a variety of ways to complete this challenge with plenty of rabbit trails. Read a book with one or more of the following (but not limited to) and have fun exploring a variety of places and topics:  



  • One book per letter in the character's first or last name.
  • One book per letter in the author's first or last name.
  • If you're feeling really ambitious, one book per letter in the character's first and last name.
  • Follow in a character's footsteps and read a book set in the country or time period of the story.
  • Follow in the author's footsteps and read a book set in their place or time of birth.
  • Read a book with the first or last name of the character or author in the title
  • Read the first book in the series.
