Six degrees of Separation: Ready Player One to The Island of Sea Women

Welcome to this month's edition of Six Degrees of Separation, which is a monthly meme hosted by Kate from Books Are My Favourite and Best.  The idea is to start with a specific book and make a series of links from one book to the next using whatever link you can find and see where you end up after six links.  I am also linking this post up with The Sunday Salon, hosted by Deb at Readerbuzz.

This month's Six Degrees is a bit different. Rather than everyone starting with the same book, we all start with the book that we finished with in a previous edition. I chose to use last months. For me, that means starting with Ready Player One by Ernest Cline.

I was debating about whether doing a straight forward list of numbers as a theme, but in the end I decided to be a little more random, and not go with a theme of any kind

The Exiles by Christina Baker Kline  - My first link uses the name Cline, despite the fact that it is spelt differently. 

The Bakers Daughter by Sarah McCoy - I have long been a fan of WWII fiction, and this is one that I read and loved years ago. The word Baker is the link here.

The Clockmakers Daughter by Kate Morton - From The Baker's Daughter to The Clockmaker's Daughter.

The Deadly Hours - This is a short story collection that followes a cursed watch through the centuries, the connection here being timepieces.

The Winter Sea by Susanna Kearsley - One of the authors in The Deadly Hours is Susanna Kearsley, so I thought I would share the first book I read by her, and still one of my absolute favourites. I am kind of surprised to see that I have never used a Susanna Kearsley book before in Six Degrees. An oversight on my part for sure.

The Island of Sea Women by Lisa See - The connection here is the Sea, although the two seas in question are very far apart. This book is about a group of women divers in Korea, whereas The Winter Sea is set in Scotland!

From a fantasy world in the future to  female divers in Korea  - that's quite a journey.

Next month's starting point is Are You There God, It's Me Margaret by Judy Blume. I have already started working on my theme, one of which might start with from the line in the book being "I must, I must increase my bust!" but I am not sure how far I can go down that path and keep it clean! lol
