Congratulations, Shazzy and MJ!!I still have 6 more to go on this one - I've been trying to use first names for all the letters, but I may have to cave on U & W!

I'll admit to borowing some ideas for my a-z challenges! :)"
Oh! Yeah!! I've been cribbing from others in all the A-Z challenges, but the only ones that worked for first names in my missing letters are books I previously read. I still have 5 months - something will show up!

Bravo, Sheila!What'd you think of Heat Wave? I actually liked it and I see it trashed in reviews.
Melissa wrote: "Bravo, Sheila!What'd you think of Heat Wave? I actually liked it and I see it trashed in reviews."
I actually really liked it Melissa. Going in to it I thought it would probably just be trash that was taking advantage of the popularity of the tv show but was pleasantly surprised. The 2nd of the series is due out next month called Naked Heat. I plan on reading it as soon as the library gets a copy. I think I gave it ★★★½
Thanks for the congratulations. Out of those 26 books I rated 3 of them ★★★★★. Everyone should read The Help and The Book Thief (wonderful books!) Chosen to Die was a heart pounding suspense novel by Lisa Jackon.
