What an entertaining life he had, and it was interesting to follow his career as it transitioned from radio to television.

Not sure about this X thing. I'm picking up a few books later at the library. Maybe I'll find an X on them.

Patrizia | 1353 comments Courtyard? The Codebook Murders (Oakwood Mystery #4) by Leslie Nagel
I'm not so sure ... Let me know, Jan: I think I'll start reading this book tomorrow.


message 515: by Jan, Moderator (last edited May 26, 2019 09:31AM) (new)

Jan | 21010 comments Patrizia - for Y I really prefer something that starts with the Y. I don't think it's too hard to find. Let's give it a while.

UPDATE: Actually we can use it for YARD.


message 516: by Jan, Moderator (new)

Jan | 21010 comments Up next: Z

Ops... The standard Italian alphabet doesn't have the Y and I thought it was one of the letters for which it was possible to search for words that had them inside. Thank goodness, Yard is fine! I was afraid you'd tell me that this was a garden and not a courtyard ...


message 518: by Karen (new)

Karen | 621 comments HI Jan, Is there a list of letters that can be used within the word as opposed to the initial letter? Like horizon for Z? I checked the rules and didn't see any. Thanks!


message 519: by Jan, Moderator (new)

Jan | 21010 comments I would take horizon for Z Karen. Go ahead and post the book cover and I will update the rules.

Q, X and Z and the three I will readily take words with the letter in it.


message 520: by Karen (new)

Karen | 621 comments Well - I don't know as it is actually a horizon, I was just using that as an example. You can look at it and see what you think.

Good job Denise! Though Karen and I are doing it with a twist. We are only only middle grade or YA books. It makes it harder!!
