Michelle wrote: "I know you can do it! ..."

I may be stretching it a bit if I manage it. LOL As in using books with any word in the title fitting one of those letters or using the same book in more than one challenge word since they are three separtate challenges. But we'll see how I do without "cheating" first. :-)
