Yes! I extended the timeframe because a couple of people did this one twice. :)

FINALLY FINISHED!!!
Oh, dear God, this took me FOREVER for some reason. I kept getting distracted by other books and finally decided to just look at THOSE books for the missing vowels. Phew!

My hat is seriously off to those of you who have done this several times!

Yes, Renee! Well done!

Honestly, my ones were just pure luck. They just happened to be the books that fit in with the challenge!

Are you going to attempt to do it again? Or is it too late in the year? :P

Melissa Coyle | 1557 comments Congrats, Renee!

Oh, dear God, A Monster Calls was a Group Read. Argh!
*Swaps a HP reread in for No Is*
Okay, NOW I'm done!

Masochistically, yes, I'm gonna try for another. I THINK I have the books for it from Nov/Dec. Maybe. LOL.

Lol. Sorry. There are 3 novellas bound together. I commented on the first one by Jennifer Crusie, then the mediocre second one by Lori Foster. I'm reading the third now. It's better than 2, but not as good as 1.

Kudos to you again, Sandy!


message 117: by Melissa (new)

Melissa Coyle | 1557 comments Yah, Sandy!!!

Oops, realized I will have to remove my No As book from my second Dec Challenge. There are three little a's bebopping at the end of the title. Now I have to figure something else out...(yes, that was a wine or a sigh)

Last call for updates on the 2014 I'd Like To Buy A Vowel before it goes into the archive! (You can still update there if you wish.)

Oops! I needed to update here myself.
With the extended 'Grace period' I managed to finish this mini-challenge a third time. :D Hurrah!
