Members' Name Hunt (Jan - Mar 2024)

[Andrea, Hospitality Coordinator]

January - March 2024

Let’s read books that feature US – the family of CFD members! I have chosen to use the names of those members who have posted at least 100 comments, simply because I had to pick some way to narrow things down as there are a LOT of us. Some names were shared with more than one member; I have only used those names once each.

Read books that feature a character or are written by an author with the following names.

The characters may be leads or minor characters, male or female. The authors may be male or female. If you read a collection with multiple authors, you must choose only one author or character to use. Alternate spellings and reasonable derivatives (Angelina for Angie or Andi for Andrea, for example) may be used. The masculine or feminine version of the names may also be used (Andrew for Andrea, for example).

If you use a derivative, opposite gender, or alternate spelling of the name, please tell us which name you found in your book so we know how the book fits the task.

You may read as many books per name as you like, but each book only counts for one name each.

***

An alternate way to play is to spell out the members’ names with book titles (first letter of title, not including articles) or author initials (first or last initial only, no middles).

You may also play a combination of the two: spelling out some names while finding the others in characters or author names.

You may decide up front or as you go along.

***

Rules:
* books may only be used for one name each
* Rereads okay
* No page minimum
* Please repost your completed challenge when you are finished.

[Andrea, Hospitality Coordinator]

Welcome, Amy, Reagan, and Charlene!

[Sarita]

My name is also a version from Sarah if that helps 😊

[Kate, Challenge Fun Distributor]

'Kate' is short for Catherine if that helps anyone. 💖

[Loraine]

Sarita wrote: "My name is also a version from Sarah if that helps 😊"
In Spanish that would be Little Sarah- Love!

[Loraine]

My name is Loraine but it can be spelled MANY different ways if that helps.

[Hannah]

Kate wrote: "'Kate' is short for Catherine if that helps anyone. 💖"

Perfect! Found a Catherine in

[Kate, Challenge Fun Distributor]

woohoo!

[Loraine]

If you are having trouble with Loraine, my nickname is Lori so you could use that also.

[Carissa]

If your having trouble finding my name, there's really no other spelling other than with a K instead of a C but my nickname from family is Rissa.

[Karen]

Thanks for all the help finding names. I plan to focus on authors, spelling my name and maybe spelling a few others.
