2015 Deuces Wild Reading Challenge
WOW! It will be easy to find books for each category, but I'm stomp when it comes to the alphabet part.
Sooooo...... any sample listings are clues on where to start... I'm thinking start with your own initials ..first I guess.. somebody pass the wine...
so.... how does it work if you have the same initial for first and last name?
Mod
Yes Ma'am! We going to need a glass to get our creative juices flowing. I don't know BB. Maybe Sidney will let you use your middle initial.
I'll check back tomorrow after this wine wears off! lol
Ok this is defiantly a challenge. Wine ladies! I think I'll have some vodka for this one lol
Mod
Mod
Then you can choose to use middle or madien name, you must state what that name is.
Mod
I switched it up. Look at it now
This is the format of the A-z challenge. The 26 books to be read not necessarily using the alphabet? correct?
Damn! You trying to kill us? This is gonna be something.
Mod
Oh stop it,lol. You are a reading beast, I only added a little investagating to enhance our reading challenge, lol
Mod
Read rules 2 & 3 we are using book titles instead of authors names. You must find book titles to fit each category whike making sure to use each letter of the alphabet
7. Says to read a two book series by a new author. But we have to list two instances. Does that mean we are actually reading 4 books for number 7.?

Oh got it now, thx

No. #1. Is for the first series and #2 is for the 2nd book the series
I'm going to try this one out. It looks like fun.
Can "Family" be in the title for #6?
And does #3 have to be strictly cities/states? What if they are counties or regions?
#7 How about when the book titles for the 2 book series have the same letter.
Such as Love Delayed and Love Delivered? both start with the letter L.
Mod
Must be an USA City or state
For rule #3 is "on" included in the words to omit? And when we omit do we use the second word as the main?

Mod
No the word family can not be used
#9It may just be me (which I doubt) but can this category be changed to include subjects regarding the continent of Africa, part of the story takes place in Africa or something like that.

Haha! You are funny!
As far as the free spaces go, is it truly free or do you want a word in there that begins with the letter but the category is free?
Mod
On the 4th i made the change due to the title of most series will be the same title therefore the letter will remain the same
Mod
The free space is for the difficult letters such as x, z or y,you can choose any novel but you must state the letter you are using for the book
