2018 A-Z Character Challenge

[Janice]

Use the first or last name of a major character in a book you have read about between January 01, 2018 - December 31, 2018.

You can use books you read for other challenges. One name per book has to be used, so total books to be read is 25 - 1 letter can be excluded at your discretion. It can be any one of them.

Major character = someone who plays a big enough role in the book. Not someone mentioned in passing.

[Lauren]

If I read a memoir, biography or autobiography, could I use the subject of the book or one of its major figures? In these genres, there's still a story and the people in them are written like characters.
