Annual A-Z Characters 2020

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

For something different, we will have an A-Z CHARACTER challenge for 2020. To complete this challenge, read a book in which a main character's first or last name begins with the corresponding letter. For the hard letters Q, X, Y and Z, you may use a name in which the letter appears somewhere in the main character's first or last name - it does not have to be the first letter. One book per letter - 26 books in total

There's to be a minimum of 6 Aussie Authors for this challenge :)
And don't forget our challenge guidelines here

[Sally906]

Is it only one name from each book?

For instance - in a romance there are two main characters. Let’s say I read A Christmas Wish - the two main characters are Megan and William - can I use both names to cover letters M & W? Or is it one name per book?

I’m taking it as the one name from each book - but just checking 😀

[Proud Book Reviews]

I'll come back to fill in once I've decided what Aussie books I'm ready next yr.

Oooo, this might be a toughie, but I like a challenge so I’m in!!
I’m in the UK and not Aussie, so I’ll be pinching ideas for 6 Aussie authors from you guys as I have done on other challenges. I’ve found it a great way to discover both new authors and the fact that a few of my faves are Aussie 😁

Can I use Rachel Amphlett’s Kay Hunter character twice, for K and H?

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

Jackmeister wrote: "Can I use Rachel Amphlett’s Kay Hunter character twice, for K and H?"

I think the aim of the challenge is for 26 different characters but wait for Benda to make a final decision :)

[Steve]

What if it's the same character in two different books?

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Jackmeister wrote: "Can I use Rachel Amphlett’s Kay Hunter character twice, for K and H?"

No - 1 book per letter Jackie :)

Steve wrote: "What if it's the same character in two different books?"

Well you'd have to use the surname for one and the first for the other. Because it's 2 different books, that's okay :)
