Congratulations, Jessica!!

Congratulations, Jessica. I'm having an extremely difficult time this month finding books that I want to read. (Let alone books I want to read with the correct letters)

I got kind of lucky with the series I read having a wide array of letters in character names. They were also fairly short books so I almost feel like I cheated this month :-P

How was the first Scott Pilgrim book, Jessica. My friends are always raving about the movie.

I just finished the whole series and its amazing! Its actually very similar to the movie. Its goofy and has a lot of video game humor, which I like.
