Natalie’s comments from the Nothing But Reading Challenges group.

I can read The Lost World by Arthur Conan Doyle. Glancing through wikipedia I see characters with an E, R, S.

I am working on Alexander Hamilton which will take up most of my time. Since it's a biography, the only letters that will count are A - Title, R - Author, and S - Narrator.

Let me do a quick scan. Rose Under Fire does have an E.

There is Delia of Eldorne and Myles of Olau, but I'm not sure if that would count. I know they're in LR, not 100% on WWRLAM.

Okay, I went to the Tortall wiki site. Ercole and Orem are George's men. Ercole is in both books, Orem just in WWRLAM.

Note: 5-starred by Lisa M

I'm also going to listen to Rose Under Fire, 5-starred by Karen Michele. Once I'm done with Alanna, I need to switch to some AMMP olympics books (It Ends with Us, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, Imprudence, Alexander Hamilton).

Is this the last wheelathon week? Or one more?

Laura wrote: "I think we should get this word done quickly, without worrying about the 5-star boast. We can try to complete it on a shorter word."

I was going to say that if no one has a gold or orange titled book that was a favorite/5-star we can't complete it. I vote to get this done quick and spin again.

Added mine in. Took a while so I do not blame you Cassie :)

I excluded ones that were already listed.
