Any good suggestions for X and Q? I've been scouring a few lists and it seems most people use the same book for X.
Mod
Books that begin with X, Y, Z: https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/2...
Authors starting with X: https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/4...
Q is for Quality: https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/4...
Below are some of my ideas that I would like to read and some that I've pulled from others. Some of the titles look similar, but the books are different. Hope one of them looks good to you!
X
XO
x0
Xoe: or Vampires, and Werewolves, and Demons, Oh My!
Xingu
Xingu: The Indians, Their Myths
Xor: The Shape of Darkness
The Xeno Solution
Xenocide
Xombies
Author: Xoe Xanders
Q
Queen of Babble
Quest for a Maid
Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking
Quentins
Queen Lucia
Quartet In Autumn
The Queen and I
Queen of the Oddballs: And Other True Stories from a Life Unaccording to Plan
Q is for Quarry
Another idea that sometimes works for me is to think of a word that starts with the letter that I need (such as Quest for "Q", then type it into the book search box. Then, I just check out the books that fit my need and see if there are any that I like. Good luck!
Okay, got my books primed and ready to go for the 1st.

Finished Mr. Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore today. I gave it 3 stars but the ending really tapered for me.
I felt the same way about Mr. Penumbra....Hopefully The White Queen will be a better read. Is this your first P.Gregory?
This is my first book by Philippa Gregory. I've heard good things so I'm looking forward to this one.
One of her books that I liked a lot was The Other Boleyn Girl, but I'm hoping to read more of her works soon. Happy reading!
What'd you think of Penumbra? I read that one last year and thought it was really fun. Joyland is on my 2014 list, too.
Susan wrote: "What'd you think of Penumbra? I read that one last year and thought it was really fun. Joyland is on my 2014 list, too."It was a cute one, but I honestly found myself liking it less and less as it went on. Too much talk about google for me I think.

Chase wrote: "...Too much talk about google for me I think."It was definitely odd that it had a classic fantasy feel to it, but was grounded in today's technology age.
Finished Defiance today. I'll admit it wasn't my type of book. Not a big fan.Next up is The Goldfinch.
Finished The Goldfinch today. That one dragged.
Mod
Lynn, me too, but some people really loved it. So I am gonna try it, already bought it. When I get to it, hopefully in a couple months, I'll let you know my thoughts.
I didn't like The Goldfinch, but I do think that there is a better target audience out there that will appreciate it more than me. I didn't like it because it was very detailed and had a slow moving plot for a 700 page book. It was a very deep book though, and when the plot was advancing, it was interesting.

I'll let you know later ...
Finished the Book Thief today. Was avoiding that one for a long time because I didn't think I would enjoy it. Boy was I wrong... Loved it.
The Book Thief was a mindblowing book Chase... stupendous
I've been having a good selection of books lately. I loved the Ocean at the End of the Lane, the Book Thief, and now The Thirteenth Tale.
Finished Rebecca and starting The Notebook today. Starting to get down to those more difficult letters after this!
Almost half way! Lots of time to find those tricky letters! Congrats Chase!
The Book Thief was so good! And ditto on The Ocean at the End of the Lane :)
How have I not finished the letter "S" until just now? I thought I had finished it awhile ago.
I hope Untamed City: Carnival of Secrets counts as a "U" book, because it was originally published as "Carnival of Souls".
I'm in!This is what I have so far and I will add to it as I go! :)
