Has anyone else had to go into a bookshop to try to find someone with the same initials? I could not think of anyone with the initials KC!

[Lydia]

I only found authors I didn't want to read with my main initials, so I am going off of my middle and last name. So I am reading J. D. Salinger's Franny & Zooey.

This was so hard to find anyone, but I'll be reading Little Toot by Hardie Gramatky

[Elizabeth]

I'm reading Code Name Verity by Elizabeth Wein for this. Lady spies? Count me in.

[Michelle]

I was going to read Jurassic Park by Michael Crichton for the book to movie category until I realized he has my initials!

I love that book, but I love the movie anymore! My Twitter cover photo is currently a still from the movie, haha. :)

Such a great book. I loved it. The movie is still great, but I really feel it didn't do the book justice.

I might reread it...I read it when I was 11 or 12 but the details are very fuzzy. And I should have a copy of it in my personal library!

[Jodez]

I was very tempted to use J.K. Rowling... but since I don't have an R initial and K isn't really her initial, I'm going with John Keats - Collected Poems, thanks google for that one!

ETA: I've just come to realise that I haven't yet read the Jay Kristoff books on the Iggle's list from last year. Might change to that if I don't enjoy the poems.

I've just finished 'Around the world in 80 dates' by Jennifer Cox. I was given the book as she has the same name as me. It was absolutely dreadful. I am so glad I'm not that Jennifer Cox.

I couldn't find an author with the initials FR (if anyone knows one I'll happily switch), so since my middle name is Michelle I decided to go for Michele Roberts and read Reader, I Married Him. I wish I hadn't. The book jumped about all over the place with very little point or plot and I deeply resented the fact that this was a chick lit novel desperately trying to disguise itself as "literature". The author peppered the text with unneeded references to classic novels, art, cuisine and Italian phrases, and introduced a whole host of characters that served no purpose. There was also liberal and unnecessary use of the "C" word (which I don't really find offensive but I did take umbridge against it been used to be deliberately shocking). Terrible book and it has shocking reviews and a low rating here on Goodreads so the only thing I would discipline this for is use in this challenges book with bad reviews category. Looks like I bombed out here like Jennifer did!

Bad, bad autocorrect errors in my comment above; using the mobile app so deeply apologise!
