@minx, I haven't started the LIFE book so its all yours

@Minx. I think a sword is a sword so read whichever one you prefer.

That sounds really nice. You're probably exhausted now, but it sounds like you accomplished good things. My sister is a children's librarian at an elementary school and she runs the book fair there. It makes me so mad that she is constantly having to spend her own money to get books for the library at her school. There is absolutely no budget for books at the school (like literally $0) and the only way for her to get money for books is to organize and run a book fair herself.

I've started Mine Till Midnight already but not The Story of My Life. Chances are you will finish your two books before I get to that second one, so if you happen to have a book you want to read that is by a deceased author and ends in LIFE, you're welcome to that spot. If not, I will get to it as soon as I finish the one I just started.

WOW! The school must be pretty happy!

Sorry Bonita, the Emma Chizzit book is no longer needed. Just have you down for "Rescue Me" now.

Ok here's the chain:

Shelter Mountain - Becky
Mountain Rescue - Shannon
Rescue Me - Bonita
Me and Mine - Shannon
Mine Till Midnight - Joanne

I can match that with Mine Till Midnight.

Anyone else have a book that starts with "ME"? we could work off of?

Ok a bit of bad news. I put that I could read Me & Emma, but I thought it was available on Scribd (its not) and my library has one digital copy but its checked out. I've put a hold on it, but who knows when it will be back. We should probably not rely on it.

It has to be an exact match.

I have 2 books starting with ME

Me, My Hair, and I: Twenty-seven Women Untangle an Obsession
Me & Emma

This one is really hard...

OK, we still need another title relay chain. First book has to have OWL, HEAD or VIRGIN in title or series. Here are some of the ideas thrown out so far:

Head in the Clouds --> Clouds and Rain
Head Shot a Thriller
Shelter Mountain (Virgin River series) --> Mountain Rescue
The Owl Killers
The Virgin Suicides
Love on an Owl's Wing
Head over Heels
Wolf's Head Inn
The Virgin Heart --> Heart Breaker
The Claiming of a Virgin King

Sweet, lets put a pin in that one then. FIRE will be easy enough for someone to match *cough cough Minx cough*

Or there's the other 4 titles listed. Need to match BONES.

Some more starters for deceased author:

Agatha Christie:
The Moving Finger
Poirot Investigates

April Lady - Becky
Lady Of Quality - Joanne

New options! Let me see what I have

I would ask how your books are coming along Vicky, but with our luck we would probably get two more Title Relays if you finished so take your time :p
