I found this in a LibraryThing thread and it sounds like fun and is very popular. Want to give it a try? See after the rules for examples and a starter title.
The "rules"/conventions:
1. The title of the book cited must have one word, at least, which is the same as a word in the previous title.
2. The repeated word in the new title must be other than an article ("a", "an", or "the").
3. The repeated word must be spelled exactly as the word was spelled in the previous title. E.g., "prune" is not the same word as "prunes", and "loyal" is not the same word as "loyalty."
4. The repeated word must be in the title as shown on the title page of the book--not, e.g., part of the series name unless such is part of the title as shown on the title page.
5. If you have read the book, let us know.
==================================
Example: The Devil Wears Prada by Lauren Weisberger
Next: The Devil and Daniel Webster by Stephen Vincent Benet
Next would use Devil or another word in the second title
====================================
START WITH THIS TITLE AND GO FOR IT:
The Moon and Sixpence, W. Somerset Maugham
Your turn
