Heroine Alphabet Yearly Challenge 2020

[Harlequin Books]

This is a year-long reading challenge for 2020. You can use either the female lead character's first or last name for each letter of the alphabet. We have found that some of the letters can be quite difficult so for letters Q, U, X, Y, and Z, as long as the letter is in the name somewhere, they will be accepted any time after June 2020. At least 50% of the books should be published by Harlequin or any of our imprints, such as MIRA, HQN, Park Row, Graydon House, Inkyard, Hanover Square, Carina Press, and Worldwide Mystery.

Uh-oh. I added no heroines this past month. it's a very good thing I have such a good headstart and only need 3 to finish the women. I hope the end-of-the-year clause will help me, at least for the U and X! ~ Kim

[Harlequin Books]

I could have used the special rule for the U but I hold out hope that I will find it yet this year.

[Harlequin Books]

Only 2 more but only one qualifies for the End-of-year rule. Hmmm.

So, so, so close! But alas, I did not find a heroine with an X in her name this past month. Hopefully, I can complete more than 1 of these challenges in 2021. ~ Kim
