That was fast!

Don't worry about Zs...
There is a character named Zee in the Mercy Thompson series I've been reading steadily :) There's even a character with a last name that starts with "U" if we need it.

Karen ⊰✿ wrote: "If anyone can get it starts with "They". I did the amazon sample/preview.
Unfortunately my libraries don't have it 😶"

Oooo mine has it! & it really does start with "They"!
I could attempt to read it over this weekend :)

U -- Full Speed to a Crash Landing read on 04 Jun has a character named Ursula

Karen ⊰✿ wrote: "Haha that’s happened to me before too! And ChatGPT is good for finding out the ending to series that you don’t actually want to suffer through 🤭🤣"

Woah that's a great use of ChatGPT that I've never thought of before! Nice!

Have not decided what to start with as my library hold on Murder on Bank Street has not come through yet... :(
