Read your Name

[Heather]

Write out your first name and then find books that start with each of the letters in your name.

Ex: If your name were Kate you would write it out like:

K -
A -
T -
E -

Then, find a book that starts with each of those letters.

Question : Do these challenges start when we join the group? Or for the year, or what?

[[deleted user]]

Yeah, I'd like to know that, too...

[Heather]

Generally when you join. They're all just for fun. No due dates on these I've just been using what I've read within the last week.

[Zakiya]

Oh okay. Well I think I will start from today. Thanks, Heather. Oh, can we maybe use our middle names if we finish the first?

[Heather]

Ya. If you want to make it harder use your full name or name and nickname.
In a to z I'm working on that in another group so I just used what I was doing there to get things going. I wouldn't go back more than a month from before you join though

[Zakiya]

Alright. I'm just going to make it hard on myself and start now. It's more of a challenge for me if I do it that way. Think I will use Zakiya first, then Kiya, which is my nickname. Or maybe Kiki, or Nerd. Haha!

[Angela]

And since they are just for fun I'm guessing it's ok if books overlap?

[Angela]

A- Awaken Me Darkly
N- Nice Girls Don't Have Fangs
G- Greyhound
E- Early to Death, Early to Rise
L- Lover Revealed
A- The Agency

and my middle not sure I'll do these though

L- Lover Unbound
O- One for the Money
R- Red Hot Fury
R-
A-
I- I Am Legend
N- Nightseer
E-


It might be a bit before I pick something for the last few letters

[Heather]

It's kind of up to you. I won't use the same book for 6 different challenges, but it it works as a letter and a country, you could. Or, you can make it harder and don't let anything overlap. I'm trying not to overlap too much, but I'm sure I will a little.

[Angela]

I think I am only using them in 2 challenges so far but I think the location ones might make it a 3rd depending on where the books are set

[Heather]

I won't be nit-picky like I have to be in Delerity.

[Angela]

Sounds good ;)

[[deleted user]]

Ummm, then I'll use my nickname, Ginny.

G - Girls on Film 9/19
