I also forgot to record a book I read on 3/16 because it was while I was traveling.I actually didn't remember it (it wasn't that good) until I was filling out stuff for another challenge and saw it. That's an "A" title.
I have an "I" that I can finish later today and I can whatever else I have on audio that'll be quite that a vowel.
I also have a few "O"s that I haven't started on my current reading list that I can do. Hmm, I really need to put those up next books on a different shelf since the dates would need to be changed because they've been sitting there too long. I know Plethora you told me that before. Hahaha

I switched my "E" book into scrabble and swapped it out for on of Carmen's books that fit for task 3.
Just in case -
COUNTDOWN
to the end of March reading.And it doesn't have to be just titles for Scrabble, we can also use author, characters, name of the series, setting.

Really? Why did I think it was title only?
Too many challenges, to many variations. My crossword Challenge only allows title.That changes things.
:)) This is from the mini rules: Normal "spell-it-out" rules apply. i.e. Letter needs to be the first letter in the book title, author first name or surname, character name or nickname, or setting. Articles (a/an/the) can be ignored in the book titles. For this spell-it-out, you can also use the first letter in the series name.

What! I guess I should have read the rules too, huh? That's a game changer!! WOOT, WOOT!!
Running to catch a flight, will update everything except Scrabble when I get to the airport.Will try and post which books we have for Scrabble, later today, unless someone wants to make sure every book is accounted for. Thanks!
ok, I've finished the books I had slated to be done by today. What letter would you like for me to be on the look out for? I could try to squeeze another one in today.
Safe travels, Apoorv! Let us know if you don't have time or need help updating!I started
for the Scrabble, it's pretty short, I should be done in time and it will give us a Y and few others. I started adding alternative letters for Scrabble to the planning sheet, feel free to add or correct, guys, I'm going by books' main pages so good chance I'm missing a bunch.
