FOFLMBO! I guess we could make it Q.U.A.R.T.E.R.L.Y.
Can I get I for indie? Choose a book from independent or self-published author or book from less known publishing company, not like Avon or Harlequin.
Because I believe we going to have another Cynster buddy reads in 2014, Stephanie Laurens for S :)

ShoSho wrote: "Tanner you missed J R Ward in post 9"Hmmmmm... let me think about that one.
Robyn Carr is already there. I just spread out the "R"s a bit.
Lisa Kay wrote: "Sooooo... CaroB, "male characters whose names start with 'Q'"?"Definitely :-)
Did I get them all, except J.R. Ward?
Anyone know of other authors who have a "R" as a middle initial?
J.R.R. Tolkien George R.R. Martin
Stephen R. Covey
Laurie R. King Robert R. McCammon
Stephen R. Donaldson
found these in GR search .do you want to add the theme authors with R as middle name?
Not a lot of options there. what about theme: Quick reads (as in novellas )for Q ?
Yes, might be neat for the middle "R" to do authors with that middle initial? What do you think?
