To make it easier to track which Susan is which, feel free to list me as Susan (dalmatian21 ). I know I won't remember to keep track of which message I am, I'm too scatterbrained/forgetful/distracted by children when I get around to getting on here to post :)

message 127: by Megan BG (last edited Jan 02, 2016 07:01AM) (new)

Megan BG (meganbgreads) | 1562 comments 2 done!

D: Douglas Petersen from Us
Z: Zeebo from Go Set a Watchman

I may end up changing the D because this challenge is hard to plan!

I think I'm going to follow the rule that a character must be mentioned in more than one chapter to count. Douglas's doctor in Spain who is mentioned once is named Yolanda Jimenez, but as much as it would be nice to get a Y, I won't count it.

Zeebo only makes an appearance once, but he is referenced several times in the book.
