yeah... lol that's what I get for not really reading ALL of the directions!
Gonna drop this challenge - that's a little to structured for my own personal spazzyness lol
I like to just jump all over the place!
But I'll keep checking in to see how everyone else is doing and wish you all well! :)

Its a year long challenge , I'm sure you can finish :)

well....looks like I may have to drop this challenge as well :( like Sandy...I like to pop all over the place. There is no way I can do this in order.....I could finish for sure.....but only if I could read out of order:(

I love the challenge and I'm thinking I may do more than one round after I finish this first one :)

See, everyone is different. I LOVE alliterations, so I feel a little ...excuse me for being indelicate...(view spoiler)[constipated. (hide spoiler)] I feel if I could just get the first one, I'd be fine. So, I'm NOT giving up yet.

I do think it's an awesome challenge :) I think people are really enjoying it, and it's great that everyone has their own thing. Everyone has been so nice in here which is really wonderful!
Thanks :)

I love the idea of this challenge. I got my A done already and had a book lined up for B, but I lucked out and the book I'm reading for the Dance Party this week has a heroine who's name is Beth Brown :)

I should really get started on this challenge, don't want to be running around like a chicken with it's head cut off at the end of the year trying to clue it all up.

I started reading my A :)

I didn't realise it could be character names till someone said the other day. I never remember peoples surnames although i'm sure I would have noticed a double.

Elishia, I was really surprised when I noticed it. Glad about it too LOL

I'll have to be on the lookout for them now.

Finally on the board

good to know. I bought it when it came out :)

Must be good since you gave it 6 stars lol. Going to check it out right now. I was debating changing my D to Don of the Dead but might just pick yours instead.

Lol! I know, I couldn't help myself. It made it into my top 10 romances ever so five stars didn't seem enough xD

Susan, you should definitely read it if you have it. You don't know what you've been missing out on *wink wink*

Oh Susanne you're making me want to read it because that's the letter i'm up to, but I don't read historical's. Decisions Decisions

Lol! That's how I feel with paranormal romances xD But if you're going to make an exception this is a really good exception xD

Finally I started on this one .I have a really short one for BB and and Off to CC

You all are doing great. I'm so impressed. Haven't felt much like reading, but I did get the first chapter done in my AA book.

It hasn't grabbed me, but that may be my mood. Or, I'll be reading one chapter a week till I'm done.

what are you reading LK?

I'm itching to get to my C...not what I planned here either LOL I've decided to change it

That's a good one, Susan.

Try After the ashes , it's western and it was an easy read

Thanks, ShoSho. I have that one, too. Got it when it was free.

Hey, Catherine, I'm in the same boat as you. We'll go down together. LOL!

You can do it ladies! It's only the beginning of February after all xD

Yeah, I think it is just getting that first book under my belt.

If anyone needs O there's a character in named Oliver Ogley.

Thanks Mary! I'm far from there but I haven't much for O on my double-decker shelf. Added it!

ETA: It also fit E.

I'm going to throw my hat into this ring and see what I can come up with....

I am really enjoying this challenge. If I find I'm not ready for the next letter I just hop over to a book that I need for another challenge. After that I'm ready for the next letter.
