Lisa - (Aussie Girl) | 6399 comments I can't help with the non-fiction genre as I only ever flick through non-fiction but I am putting my hand up for the Romance, Paranormal, Historical Fiction, Urban Fantasy or Science Fiction genres when we spin them.

My current book has a T character and my next one has a N in the title.

Renee (reneeconoulty) | 3309 comments For each time through the word we need

3 x N
2 x O
2 x I
1 x T
1 x C
1 x F

Between Dawn and I, I think we have the genre covered.

Lisa - (Aussie Girl) | 6399 comments That must be the book the movie is based on, Renee? Good?


message 215: by Renee (new)

Renee (reneeconoulty) | 3309 comments The movie is based on the story. I liked the movie better. The book is very autobiographical/stating facts/quoting scripture. Not really my thing, I prefer to escape into another world than a dry stating of facts.


Lisa - (Aussie Girl) | 6399 comments Yep, me too.


Lisa - (Aussie Girl) | 6399 comments Where are we all up to - My Current Book has a few letters we can use - I, O , N, F and C. - Shadow Spell by Nora Roberts.

That was the first BOM I read, I enjoyed it. The second in the series is out now. Heven't read it yet.

Would work for C - title, F- character- Freddie Bestigui, O - character - Rochelle Onifade.

Here's the BOM thread, if you want to take a look.
