Thanks Rosemarie! This was a lot of fun!

[Rosemarie, Obsessive Reader]

It was fun, but there are always some stubborn letters.

Well that sounds like fun. I'll join you just for the heck of it and count only books I complete from today until the end of the year. Though I want Don Quixote to count, so I may count that as a "Q" or "X" depending how I feel when I finish. Thoughts?

[Rosemarie, Obsessive Reader]

You could use it for the Doorstopper challenge!

Renee has set up the challenge so we can use numbers(written as numbers, not in words) for X. It makes it a lot more fun that way, and easier.

[Eileen]

I think it might end up being my second book for the door stopper challenge! I forgot about numbers! If course I just finished a book with numbers in it but it was a few days ago lol! I'm sure I can dig up something... that's the fun of these challenges!
