[Jenny, Always smiling! :-D]

Woot, woot David! Getting close now!

[Lola]

I am currently reading a book starting with an L, so I have another letter to add soon :)

[Jenny, Always smiling! :-D]

I still have 3 letters left, I need to get cracking on em!

[David, Mr. Blue Eyes; He's the Best--Ain't no lie!! ;)]

Lol you still got 7 months, what's the rush? ;)

[Jenny, Always smiling! :-D]

LOL just like being fast I guess! Actually I was thinking if I finish by the end of June, I might try it again for the rest of the year.

[David, Mr. Blue Eyes; He's the Best--Ain't no lie!! ;)]

Hehe I think that's a perfect idea for you :) Everyone's got to challenge themselves in different ways!

[Karen’s Library]

I have no new letters to add yet. Dang! ;-D

[Victoria]

Awesome David, Lolita and Jenny!

I considered re-doing this one to challenge myself, but decided to take up the character version instead. Mind you, I almost have that one done already too... I just need to read my book with the "U" character in it, and find one with a "y" character in it.

[Jenny, Always smiling! :-D]

I'm almost done with the character one, too, and I also need a Y!

Its not quite June yet, Karen so you still have time! We should read Obsidian together sometime this summer :)

Sounds like a plan, Jenny!!

[DeAnna]

I just looked at my list again. I have read 13 more books since I last updated, and not one of them gave me a new letter! I still have 7 letters to go! J, K, L, Q, V, Y, and Z. I have books picked out for all of them, but haven't read them yet.

[Sheree Bonita]

David wrote: "Lol you still got 7 months, what's the rush? ;)"

Ugh, but thanks to this challenge I've been scheduling my books around it.

[Victoria]

DeAnna:
Well at least you have the books picked out. And, hey, there's still plenty of time! :)

[Maggielou]

Added K, only 7 letters left! :)

[Victoria]

Excellent Maggielou! :)

[Becky]

I have 17 letters now, just difficult ones left.

[Victoria]

Great, Becky... Good luck with the letters you have left! :)

[Lola]

I just finished a book that started with an L and I am now reading a book that starts with the letter M, which is another letter I am still missing.

Z-Zombie Survival Guide by Max Brooks (Feb 2013)

Looks like I still have D, F, O, P, Q, R, V and W. does it count if I couldn't finish them because they were just AWFUL? I mean I try to give the author the benefit of the doubt but sheesh...as my kid says, "no bueno."

[Tracy]

OK I only have X and Y to go and of course I can't find anything for those letters. I think X is going to be somewhat impossible. Maybe I can find something with you for Y

[Tracy]

Tracy-I read that as long as X was in the title, it's okay. There's a good book called EX Heroes by Peter Clines that may qualify.

[Victoria]

Yeah, with q, v, x and z it's acceptable to just go with one with the letter in the title somewhere. I didn't, personally, but it's fine to do so.
