Good luck Alannah, I am sure you will get loads and loads of the name challenge done this year, you look like your a very fast reader.

We’re literally one week into the year and you have already done two letters. I just know you will have this done in no time at all.

Can I make my own challenge? Do I need permission to start one up?

Thank you Jade.
Yes, feel free to make your own thread. You don’t need permission at all just no promoting your own books or it will get deleted and you will be removed from the group with no warning.

Can’t wait to see what you come up with. Remember, you can challenge yourself with whatever you like, take a look at past challenge threads and see if that inspires you in any way.

Thank you Alannah

Thanks to lockdown and working from home, I think I spend my days listening to audiobooks now so it feels like there is someone working with me now.

[Alannah]

Another 2 books to add to the list.
8 down, 8 to go.

[Alannah]

9 books down, 7 to go.

6 in the first name
J, Q, U, E, N and E

1 in the surname
N

At the minute, I cannot think of any books that might help me in this challenge. But I'm sure I will have no problems thinking of challenges.

[Alannah]

I have been to open another challenge, I have a box of books that I'm hoping to get through. I hope to make some time this week and go through them to see what I have to read. I'm sure that will help me with my book challenges.

[Alannah]

I usually leave my challenges completely open so I can choose my books so it will be the first time in years that I will need to cross books off.

[Alannah]

Finished the J, found the autobiography of the author so thought it was fitting to use for this challenge.

[Alannah]

Got a book for Q

[Alannah]

Will edit it when I’m on the computer, hard to do when I’m on the iPad..

[Alannah]

Two books left.
When I finish this challenge, I will probably start another one.

[Alannah]

First name is completed, just N to go.

[Alannah]

Challenge completed, will probably open another thread when I start another one.
