Double-Decker Alphabet Bus: Total Mayhem 2019! (Repeated for 2019 in Any order, free-for-all style!)

[Phoenix (Online Elf), Moderator]

     ~ Double-Decker Alphabet Bus: Total Mayhem! ~

Yay! We are doing this for the seventh go-round, and once again, this time you may read any book in any order ! This means you may start at D - then go to Z then back to B! We know, totally easy. A Free-For-All! Still, there has to be an alliteration connection.

DURATION : January 1, 2019 - December 31, 2019

RULES :

In Any Order
Travelling in any order, you may list your books from Z to A or A to Z, read one book per letter where EITHER the author’s, or main character’s first and last name, or two words in the title, begin with the same letter. Remember, this year you may bounce around from letter to letter, in no particular order.

Also, ignore the indefinite and definite articles (a, an, the, etc.), such as in the title An Apple from Eve, by Betty Neels; this would NOT count.

In other words, the double letter has to be in the one place: the title, OR the series, OR the author, OR the character’s name. Not one of each.

Except for...

Quick Stops*
Last year there was six “quick stops” where Q, U, V, X, Y, and Z. Meaning we allowed the two letters to be taken ANYWHERE from within the title, main characters, series or author's name for these hard-to-find letters.

Like last year, you are allowed you to choose your six “quick stop” alliterated letters – all of your choosing – that you may find anywhere in the title, author’s name, series name, or character’s name. But, you only get six! Please indicate with an asterisk which letter you are electing to make a “quick stop” option.

Travelling in any order, you may list your books from Z to A or A to Z, read one book per letter where EITHER the author’s, or main character’s first and last name, or two words in the title, begin with the same letter. Remember, this year you may bounce around from letter to letter, in no particular order.

In other words, the double letter has to be in the one place: the title, OR the series, OR the author, OR the character’s name. Not one of each.
