N-O-V-E-M-B-E-R

The idea is simple: you take the letters of the month, and for each letter you find a book which either has an author whose last name starts with this letter or a book which title starts with the given letter. Remember to disregard all the articles: a, an, the...

The duration of challenge is from the beginning of the month to last day, but you can post your list ahead of time.

This is my list, but I'll probably end up replacing most of those books with something else, I always do.

O - Old Man's War
V - Vulnerable
E - Erdrich, Louise: Love Medicine
M - Middlemarch
B - The Bell Jar
E - Enna Burning

E = Ever After by Nora Roberts

I picked some short books BJ! One was a Children's Illustrated Classic edition of a classic book for a BOM read as that was the only version I had. One was an ebook novella. I raided my son's room for Magic Tree House books as I needed a "V" title to finish off A-Z Book Titles and the author's name started with "O" for this challenge. The Amazon book was because I needed a reptile book for Jungle challenge and it had a crocodile on the cover. I also read the Magic Tree House Thanksgiving book since I needed one with an indian in it. (I have alot of westerns, but as I'm just getting back into reading full length novels I didn't know if I'd get to one of those or not.)

I loved Our Town! I played Stage Manager in a youth Little Theater production in the 80's.

I seriously doubt I will get this done, but I'll do what I can.

Hey steph -- have you read the Aisling Grey series by Katie Macalister? Playing with Fire is a spin-off on that series, and though it is possible to read it without reading Aisling Grey, I wouldn't recommend it :)
