Characters A-Z (Ends 12/31/2011)

[Darcy]

The F character should be easy to get, you could use Finn from Tangled Threads. Y will be harder.

[Samantha]

But of course, that's how it always seems to work out!

[Heather]

Hmm...I hadn't gotten to Tangled Threads just yet so that works. Thanks. I wish I had waited to read Stardust. It has a Y.

[Renee]

I'm in...thought I'd already posted!

Darn it! That Q is eluding me and I don't want Quinn! :(

It is funny how some letters are harder than others.

[Darcy]

[Samantha]

Yeah, I was determined not to use Uncle for U, but in the end I just gave up. I think I take these challenges a little too seriously sometimes, lol. ;)

Good job, Darcy!

[Darcy]

For some reason I had a hard time with B. Then once I found a B, my next 5 books had a character that's name started with a B. Figures!

[Heather]

Y is killing me.

[Stacia (the 2010 club)]

You've already read all of the Study series haven't you? Otherwise I would say Yelena.

[Darcy]

Y was a hard letter.

[Heather]

I love when my complaints get resolved quickly! Illusions, by Aprilynne Pike has a Y name in it.

I just read that one and you are right.

I thought about this thread when reading , there were so many characters I think I could have filled out the whole alphabet with just that one book, or at least come close.

[Heather]

=)

Finished.

[Darcy]

Good job Heather!

[Samantha]

Yay for Y, lol!

Good job!

Done, finally! :D It took me forever to get Q.

Good job.

It is funny how some of the letters are harder to find than others and not always the ones you would think.

[Suzanne]

Finished! I thought I'd never finish this one.

[Heather]

Good job!

[Joeera]

i'am done

[Heather]

Good job.

[Jessica B]

I still need to finish Q for this challenge and I am wondering if anyone can give me some ideas on books with Q character names. Thanks!

[Darcy]

The Riley Jensen series has a Quinn, The Black Dagger Brotherhood also has a Quinn.

[Heather]

Also, Talk me Down - Victoria Dahl. Fun author.

[Jessica B]

Thanks! I will check them out!

[Tya]

Why do I always think its a good idea to do these things last minute? As I was reading this year I'd come across a name and think, "isn't Delirity doing something with names?" And then promptly forget. Now, I have this list but I have no idea if I used some of them in other challenges. So. Here we go.

R...Roarke, Immortal in Death
S...Syliva, The Quilters Legacy

[Heather]

You know, I finally found a good Y character last night for everyone and it was too late. Yank Morgan from the Hot Zone series.

[Darcy]

That is always how it goes!

[Tya]

I had the devils own time trying to find a Q before I remembered (eventually) Maggie Quinn so of course yesterday I started Papertown. The main character is named Q. Will there be another character challenge? Maybe I should wait to read it!

[Heather]

I thought about it. You guys want to do it again? If so I'm setting it up before I finish this series and miss out on my Y.

[Tya]

I'd do another character challenge... although for me the challenge is in remembering I'm participating in a challenge to begin with.

[Heather]

haha. K. I'll set it up again.

[Heather]

Oh, and Tya, you aren't the only one. We all know Shera actually read books this year, but she's still blank. ;) Maybe we can motivate her this year.
