We finished one spell-through ! WooHoo !

Zee, now you can drink some more ! :P

I am going to finish our last N in our first spell-out.. and for that I am reading, hold behold.. Mr. Nicholas Sparks ;)

Its just fascinating how the In Death series just keep getting better and better after running for 20 years and 41 books !

I dont think there is any other series that has such a cohesive story line that has ever run for this long in terms of time and number of books. Truly commendable, Ms. Roberts !

Apparently, I learned a different set of alphabets in school ! :P :D

OMG, Sarah ! His book was by far the most bizarre book I read this year.. either I was just not in the right frame of mind while I was reading it or he writes some weird stuff.. I was lost for most part of the book. And I dont mean to say he doesnt write good.. boy, his narration is good, but maybe I just did not choose the best book to start with.

It was just weird.. he laid the novel out in a very absurd way and placing things together became a chore for me after sometime. But honestly, I would say you should try him out.. maybe you will like the absurdities !

Two Ns to go for completing the first spell-out !
WTG team ! :)

A and Y to go to complete the second spell-through ! :)

BTW, amongst the words we have spelled so far, which are the ones that you guys found relatively tough to find ?

I know, most of our books we have read in these past three weeks, we have managed to find more than 2 alphabets nearly each time. But, did you have some alphabets that were just stuck ?

I know that Y can definitely be one of them !
