Finished Dust by Hugh Howie now as well. Very good book! I don’t think you can use it for the acronym though 😊

I went ahead and added one more acrostic so we could include it 😉
We still have well over a month to go, we can do it 😉😉

Thanks Candace! I’ll add one more acrostic to our list.

I finished Under a Black Sky by Inger Wolf to take care of another pesky “U.”

[StarMan]

We do! Thanks Samaria!
How did you like this one? I really enjoyed it when I read it awhile back!

[Erin]

Finished Valentine by Elizabeth Wetmore last night to polish off the last “V.”

We’ve still got the following letters to complete for those still interested in participating:
A, D, E, I, R, T

[Teresa]

I have finished the following books:

by Kat Bellemore (7/28)

by Jennifer Ryan (8/7)

by Elin Hilderbrand (8/14)

That may help! Happy reading everyone! We have rocked it this summer!

[StarMan]

Way to go, Teresa -- and everyone else who is devouring books at a snail's pace, or otherwise -- for Erin's fun challenges.

🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 Excellent Teresa! It certainly does help!

That leaves us with A, E, I and T now!

[Pien]

Finished The Night Circus, by Erin Morgenstein

[Erin]

Pien wrote: "Finished The Night Circus, by Erin Morgenstein"

🙌🏻 Great! What did you think of it? I remember really enjoying the imagery but seem to recall the ending left me a little confused 🤔

[Kelsey]

Just finished Alexander Hamilton by Ron Chernow! That counts for 'A' right?!

[Erin]

Kelsey wrote: "Just finished Alexander Hamilton by Ron Chernow! That counts for 'A' right?!"

Yes!!! 🙌🏻 Thanks Kelsey!

[Erin]

I forgot to add Fable and Namesake by Adrienne Young, both of which I read last month. So that takes care of a couple of the A’s.

We still have 2 A’s as well as an E, I, and T left!

[Pien]

@Erin Yes! I loved the first two-third’s and then (view spoiler)[ it became foggy, and a bit cheesy with the romance… (hide spoiler)]
But I enjoyed it a lot

[Keli, Keli Snail]

I finished Pollyanna by Eleanor H. Porter for an E.

[Erin]

Keli wrote: "I finished Pollyanna by Eleanor H. Porter for an E."

Great! Thanks Keli!

[Erin]

I added another acrostic, “snorkel,” since our letters were dwindling.
The other remaining letters are A, I & T.

Great job on this summer challenge snails!!! I’m astounded at how many books we’ve logged! 😳 🙌🏻
