Rebecca, how does your X selection fit in?? I'm confused!
I believe - for this challenge - that if one can opt for a book of their choosing for X if they don't wish to use (or cannot find) an author with an X in the name.

You can use one where their is an X in the title, not necessarily the beginning letter.
Must be another challenge I am thinking of. :)
N. L. wrote: "Must be another challenge I am thinking of. :)"No worries. :)

Does she have a middle name or alternate name with 'X'?? ...I'm looking for 'Y' authors, hence I noticed! :)"Just a mistake on my part. I eventually would have caught it, I would hope. Thanks though...

I put it on the wrong line...deep breaths everyone. I fixed it.
LOL Rebecca!I have to admit I'm still a bit confused!
Sorry Yz, to clarify: for the author's challenge, the 'X' can be anywhere in the author's name or the book title or just in the author's name? (referring back to your comments exchange with NL...)

For the A-Z book challenge, the X must be in the book title, for the A-Z Author challenge, the X must be in the author's name, for the A-Z Characters challenge, the X must be part of the name.
Hope that makes sense.
