Progress: 5 out of 5
Moving right along to our next member spell challenge, this time we will spell out Ellie.
We'll do it a little differently beginning with this round, with a little twist. The goal is to see how many times you can spell out ELLIE with the books you read between April 1st and June 30th. The catch is, you must complete one full spell out first before moving on to round 2. Rounds do NOT have to be completed in order after you have successfully completed round 1. So spell out the first round, and then if you would like to move on to another round, you are welcome to, or if you prefer to stop at the first round, that's fine as well.
To complete the challenge, read a book for each of the letters below using the following options: (1) first letter of the book title, (2) first letter of the author's first or last name, (3) first letter of a series title, (4) first letter of the main character's first or last name.

Great job, Jingles! Yeah, I'm stuck on those 2 E's again too. For a while I was reading a lot of Janet Evanovich, but now I'm pretty much caught up with her so I'm having a harder time. You've got a couple of good authors there, I see.
Mod
I'm the same way with Evanovich. I've just about covered all those books. I have started on Stephanie Evanovich, so that may be a source for our E letters too.
Oh, and since we can use main character names (which I always forget to do), Eve Dallas is good from the In Death series.
And of course something else I always forget...we can use series titles.
Yeah, I guess I'm a purist and prefer to only use title and author's names. That's how I started, and it feels comfortable to continue that way.I'm rereading (listening to) Emily March's Eternity Springs series, so those will keep me busy for a while. I haven't yet started Ruth Galloway, but it's on my list! Oh, and I like Erin McCarthy too. I just need to focus on some "E" books, but there are soooo many challenges to work on that I am easily distracted.
Mod
I will have to try the Emily March series. It's funny, while I was driving to work this morning, I was thinking about E authors and hers was the first name that popped into my head.
I read the Eternity Springs series in 2012. Now there are more of them, so I decided to start over and listen to them this time. So far I'm enjoying the revisit.I usually like to listen to Elin Hilderbrand's books too.
Mod
I done. I have the grandkids this weekend so I'm pretty sure I won't finish another one. :)This was a lot of fun. I was amazed to see how fast they built up. Those "I"s were tricky, though.
Thanks!

I kept forgetting to use "E" characters and "E" series titles, but even with that, I would not have completed 10 rounds.

Ed - I really thought I was going to spell this out at least three times during the challenge time frame. Those E letters though were a killer! And honestly - I know this already because it's one of my most difficult letters in any spell challenge.
Wow, great job, everyone!I have one more "E" to finish, and I intend to keep going until I find something that fits.
I finally got that last "E" book to finish spelling it twice.Member S*P*E*L*L Challenge #4: ELLIE
