Great, Suzanne! Welcome to the challenge!

Your are so "evil" coming up with all of these challenges. I want to do SO many of them! This one I think I'll give a shot, not because I'm enamored of the Titanic, but for sentimental reasons. My late grandmother's birthday was a few days ago, she would have been 100. I remember how she would, so often, tell me that she was born the year the Titanic sank. She was about a month and a half old at the time. I'm not sure if I'm going to tackle this with a spell it out challenge or try find books to fit the various tasks in the challenge. But, if I choose a spell it out version, would you have any issues with me spelling out "grandma" or "grandmother"?

Not at all, Gayle! Wonderful idea, as she is your connection to the Titanic.

I absolutely love the idea of this challenge. I want to participate, but need to figure out how I'm going to do it.

I love Barbara's idea of combining the spell-it-out, along with the tasks, but I don't know that I could get it all done.

Gotta think about it. Then I'll be back to post my entry.

Great, southpaw! You'll have a year to do it, whatever you decide. ☺

Upon reading The Mournful Teddy I realized that the book actually centers around a teddy bear that commemorates the sinking of the Titanic . The Mournful Teddy is being auctioned off at the Shenandoah Valley Teddy Bear Extravaganza and expected to bring in $170,000! That is until the bear is kidnapped. A really good mystery with lots of twists and turns.

Lisa Kay, I'd be more than happy to send you my copy as I'm only going to swap it anyway. Let me know if you're interested (just PM me).

Sounds really good, Barbara! I'm off to the library (if I can tear myself away from GoodReads) - I'll see if they have it.

Barbara, I picked up The Mournful Teddy at the library! Yay! You're doing well, by the way. Great!

I just added the rest of the series to my TBR - 5 books so far.

ETA: Just found out that the author will write no more books for this series. Apparently his editor didn't like the sales numbers so he is starting a new series. Drat! This is a good one.

Yes, Barbara, my library has the next three. ☺ Neat.
