CHALLENGE COMPLETE

[Sandra, Need more time to Read!!]

Hooray, Barbara ★!

[Darcy]

Great job Barbara!

[Valerie ~ Val Hall ~]

Congrats Leslie, Sandra and Barbara!

I can't find an author with the U letter I want to read. It's the last letter I am missing. I'm not ready to admit defeat yet.

[Emy]

Valerie, don't know if these links might help? (all 'authors with names starting with U')

Personally I'm going to try to get a Lisa Unger in before the end of the year... :)

[Sandra, Need more time to Read!!]

U is always the hardest letter for me as well. I went with a mystery writer I haven't read in 20 yrs, and I did enjoy it.

I've read one Lisa Unger book and didn't enjoy it at all, so I steer clear of her now :)

Good Luck in the search Val ;)

[Valerie ~ Val Hall ~]

Updated Post #7: 26/26. I'm finally done! Gosh, U is hard to find.

[Sandra, Need more time to Read!!]

Hooray, Val!

LOL, just in time to do it all again :DDDDDDD

[Darcy]

Great job Val!

[Valerie ~ Val Hall ~]

Yeah, just in time.

[Anna]

Finished the challenge.

[Sandra, Need more time to Read!!]

Hooray, Anna!
