Good luck, Melissa!

[A Voracious Reader (a.k.a. Carol)]

Ok, I will attempt this challenge. I'm glad I don't have to include my maiden name or my first married name because that would be a really long list. lol

R Lost Souls: Resurrection

A The Anatomist's Apprentice
N Nightshift
N Nightfall

C Color My Horse

N The New Death and others

For 'R' the title is actually Resurrection of the Lost Souls series. Not sure why it's listed the way it is.

[Melissa]

oy I may need help with this. With two z's it is gonna be hard. I can probably find some zombie books?

[Jess]

If you like steampunk, I thought it was absolutely fabulous. I am obsessed with Rhys, the Iron Duke. The world building was so complex and crazy. Zombies and Kraken and the mongol horde! Oh my!!!

[Karla]

Are you allowed to use books for more than one challenge? There are a ton of challenges that I want to do, but so little time to read. If I can use a few of them for multiple challenges, then I could do it.

[Lisa Kay]

I tried to use a book only once, Karla, but there are too many fun challenges. So, I upped it to using a book twice. LOL! Now, it is a free-for-all!

[Lisa Kay]

Unless the challenge specifically says you can't, I would go for it, Karla! ☺

[Karla]

Lisa Kay wrote: "Unless the challenge specifically says you can't, I would go for it, Karla! ☺"

So far none of the challenges I want to do say that you can't use books from other challenges, so I'm going to use them wherever they fit.

Thanks Lisa Kay for answering my question.

[Lisa Kay]

Have fun hunting for just the right book, Karla!

[Karla]

Since there is no time limit, I'm going to try my whole name:

I'm new to the site but this challenge seems really fun to me. I'm starting it today! I'll keep you guys updated as I get farther in the challenge. Who knows? Maybe I'll decide to include middle and last name in the challenge as well but for now, just my first name.

I want to read that book. I would like to know what you think about it once you finish it.

Tabitha wrote: "Mindy wrote: "L - Left Behind - Timothy LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins"

Tabitha,
I have read the kids version of the series so when I started I already knew the story line. I started it when I posted and have already finished. I think that is the best way to state my feelings on it. The story is pretty fast-paced and I will definitely be reading the rest in the series. If it sounds interesting to you, definitely check it out but have the next book in the series handy as well. Happy reading!

[Mindy]

So after starting this challenge, my first name alone is going to be way too easy for me. Especially as I'm recovering from illness and still spending a lot of time in bed reading (more than I normally do, which is a pretty significant amount of time). So here is my up-to-date list :)

Nice that you are expanding it, Mindy; but, sorry you've been ill.

[Midu]

LK, did Lisarenee's Broadcast Message ever get sent out?

[Mindy]

Thanks Lisa Kaye! Unfortunately I go though it often but it does give me more chances to enjoy books and movies and such and I'm used to poor health by now. I'm just grateful I found this group so I have others who share my book obsession!

Midu wrote: "LK, did Lisarenee's Broadcast Message ever get sent out?"

Nope. Didn't work.

Yes, well, you certainly have found others with that obsession here! LOL!
