As you can see I have no theme 😂 😂 😂 😂I have no clue what I was thinking. 2023 I did badly as I did full names. This year I just added lots of names I'd not done before with the regular ones.
God luck to us all. May we find all the vowels and some to spare. And may we have fun, fun, fun while doing it.
For this one, I just read a book then see if I can put it with a name. It works good for about nine months, then I'm scrambling like crazy the last three months. 😂I love making myself crazy.

I need 5 x "I"s, 2 x "E"s, 2 x "L"s and an "A" Sandra! I'm not worried (yet!) ...Good luck with yours :)
I need too much of everything.I have managed completing Elementary level.
I really should stop trying to go full names. Next year I'm really gonna stream line this challenge for myself. I say now and still will be overzealous come 1 January 😆
I don't know why I'm having trouble this year. I only finished four names, but I know I will complete three more next month. It seems like every book I read this year begins with the same letters.
I know what you mean. Seems I'm doubling on all the letter I don't need this year.
Mod
I've finished 7 of 9 names. Haven't read them all yet, but these are books I'm planning to read this year. I need 2 more to finish all 9 names.
Sandra I think it's because the first few years I complete all my names. So I keep thinking I can do this. But then June /July arrives and I start questioning my own sanity 😂
I think I am going to try to join in halfway through the year. Because Why not add another challenge LOLSpell the Character Name Challenge

How To Participate:
For this challenge, you’ll spell out your favorite characters' names from the In Death series using the first word in book titles. You may choose to spell out each character’s “given” name in full or spell out the name and/or nickname they are most known for including rank – whatever the case may be.
Only the first letter in a book title can be used. You can skip “A”, “An”, and “The” and use the first letter of the next word unless you need those letters. If you need a "Q", "X" or "Z" to spell a name, you can use titles with those letters anywhere in the title if need be. Titles from any genre are acceptable. You can only use book titles once and you must have read the book within the challenge time frame. Once you've finished spelling out a name, choose another.
How many can you spell out?
Example:
P-The “P”atient’s Secret
E-
A-A Distant Grave
B-The “B”urning Chambers
O-Of Blood and Bone
D-
Y-
