that's a good one!!

Would Their Virgin Captive by Shayla Black and Lexi Blake and main character named Dex work for X?

Okay, so I really wanted to do this but talked myself out of it because I was going to start so late. I changed my mind! Hopefully I can still finish it before the end of the year :)

Yaay Nichole , you can do it :)

Thank you ShoSho! We shall see lol :)

@Nichole, you can do it for a year, just use whatever date you start and go a year from there.

@Nikita, since it's for the letter X, I'd say yes to that since its a quick stop and has special rules.

I agree with Susan, Nikita. They both have X - and they are both characters, which I don't think you have to do to take the x's.

Never fear Lisa Kay! I have yet to start :)

Read:

I read my WW book yesterday:

Going to use this for XX, the hero's name is Maximilian. But I can't start it yet. I need Victoria Alexander for the state of Nebraska on the RT Author Convention challenge but I'm not on that level yet.

considering I've been stuck on I for almost 2 months I really think you've got nothing to worry about Lisa Kay. I predict I'll be behind you REAL soon.

LOL! Yes, Damiellar, I've started my II book, I just haven't gotten much reading done for the last day and a half.

I need suggestions for my SS book.

I think I can suggest about 20 books or more for SS!

These are some of the one's I found. SS was one of the easier one's to find.

Author - Shannon Stacey
(character - Sophia Sydney)
(character - Susannah Sanderson)
(series - Spikes & Spurs)
(series- Seven Deadly Sins)


(series - Sons of SIns)

Great suggestions, Nikita!

This is what I have, as far as romance authors... I'm assuming you don't want to read Shel Silverstein, even though he is fabulous!

Wow. Neat, Gea!

Ack. I could have sworn that Y was a quickstop. I don't know if I have anything for it. It's the only letter I didn't list any ideas for on my own challenge tracking thread.

I don't have anything for Y either! I have at least 2 books for all the others and zilch for that one. I was waiting for people to start posting stuff, considering I haven't even started!:)

Oh wait I do have a possible Y: Possible if it's still available on Amazon Prime.

I have no interest in these but someone else might for YY:

Ooh but I might be interested in this: (60's rock & roll bio).

hmmm, maybe I should read this one: Be Your Own Matchmaker: You Can't Get What You Want and this one Why He Didn't Call You Back: 1,000 Guys Reveal What They Really Thought About You After Your Date

I have plenty of SS I haven't read but these are the ones I have read

Oh I have this book already: The Sharper Your Knife, the Less You Cry: Love, Laughter, and Tears at the World's Most Famous Cooking School

I might see if the library has this one on audio:

Oh, I might check and see if my library has those, too, Mary: HDLS. I also have Amazon Prime, so there is that option. Thank you, thank you!

Great! My library has on CDs and paper version.

I'm done! Going to do another round.

Thanks CaroB.

You're the first one done, right, Nikita! Woohoo!

Wow, Congrats Nikita!

are rereads allowed?

Congrats, Nikita!

If anyone is looking for HH or LL this is a freebie right now:

Stephanie, only re-reads older than six months. If read in the last six months, chances are people might just skim through the book rather than read it properly. Hope that helps!
