It is the "U" - times 2! - that I'll probably have trouble..."I'm still in the first third of the In Death series, and am slowly making my through it. Another challenge I'm in for July has us reading books with fewer than 500 GR reviews. So, I'm trying to use books I already own and planned to read this year for my other challenges this month. The really hard letters will be O (3 of them!) and V.
Oh (pun intended), that would be hard, Lara.
Okay, I added one a little outside my comfort zone. But isn't that what challenges are all about? Anyone read this one?U. - Underwood, Maia = Surviving Passion (Kindle)
Sorry no Lisa Kay, haven't come across that one.I'll be doing Bonjour when I get around to picking books, and I'll have trouble with U as well. As for O's, just picked up some Grizzly MC books, and quite a few start with O :)
The U's and O's are difficult on this one, it took some searching but I've finally found books for them.
❁Danielle, I'm not as far in The Billionaire Boys Club as you. Maybe I'll catch up. (ha ha!)

Wow! Very impressive Lara!
Thanks Tina. I decided to only use books with few ratings for one word to make it easier. I have a lot of work right now, so needed some easy reads (e.g. ones I've been looking forward to). So far, so good ;-)

I totally got side-tracked this month with reading books not in my challenges. Guess it was my rebel month. Anyway, I won't be able to do both words, so I just go with good-bye and hope I can make that.WYA: Hello/Goodbye Challenge July 2014

I was a dud this month. I read several books but so far I only have two for Bonjour and one for Au Revoir so it isn't looking good. On the bright side, I have read six Dresden Files books for the AOM and some toward other challenges.
