A-Z Book Title Challenge 2013: 1/1/13 - 12/31/13

[Denise]

You can read Jane Eyre if you don't already have.... The Queens Curse - from the charmed series... It's like the 30th book lol...

[DeAnna]

Here are some options:
J: On the Jellicoe Road
Q: The Queen Bee of Bridgeton
U: UnearthlyUnder the Never SkyUnravel Me
Z: The Zombie Playground

Idk why it says On the Jellicoe Road. I'm pretty sure the actual title is just Jellicoe Road.

[Victoria]

J and U aren't too bad; there are loads of options for those. Q is a bit tougher though, and Z is quite tricky if you don't like zombies, but easy if you do.

There are different titles for different countries. Most of the other editions are just Jellicoe Road.

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

That's funny. Yeah, the one I have ready to read on my Kindle is just Jellicoe Road :)

Pretty good ratio!

[Victoria]

Pretty good there DeAnna.

I'm now reading my last book for this challenge (I read my Y book Saturday, and just started my U book today). I'll post my completed list in a couple of days... After I finish reading my U book.

[Jenny, Always smiling! :-D]

Great job, DeAnna and Victoria!

I can't remember--on X, can the X be anywhere in the title? I am reading Ixeosthis week for a blog tour, so if so that would rock!

[DeAnna]

Yes, X can be anywhere in the title. That's why my X book is Hex Hall!

[Jenny, Always smiling! :-D]

DUH *face palm

I guess I should have just looked at that! YAY, figured out my X!

[Victoria]

Yeah, X, Q and Z can just be somewhere in the title. I just made sure to do it as the first letters to make it a bit harder for myself since I read so much I'd have been finished long ago if I didn't need to look for books for Q and X (I was already good for Z since I have several Zombie books).

I've seen people using author names when they get stuck too.

[DeAnna]

Wait, Q and Z can be anywhere in the title? I thought it was only X that could be anywhere in the title?

[DeAnna]

WTG, Marylou. I probably would have used Hexbound as X, but you've got plenty of time to find an X or a different H.

[Maggielou]

Thanks....I'm sure my list will change as the year moves along.

[Victoria]

Great job Maggielou! :)
