Completed 23 of 26

All of the above, as long as you only chose one location. That is why I put Gulliver's Travels in the examples. That book takes place in many different places, but you can use any of them.
Last year, I struggle to get my X. I ended up using a child named Xavier in All Joy and No Fun: The Paradox of Modern Parenthood. He was a child that appeared in only 2 chapters and was often referred to by his nick name Zay, but it was the best I had. The point is we aren't going to check up on you as long as you only use one book per letter :)

We like to mix it up if we can and keep our members on their toes if we can! This year, with the new yearly theme being Around the World, we thought a location edition would be fun.
