Reserved for my list.I'm going to use my names. I've got to explain the YA though. In the Cyrillic alphabet there's a letter for the sound YA. Written in Bulgarian, my names are as follows 10 letters - 9 letters - 8 letters, which sums up to 27. I was born on 27.07.1987, so 7 and 27 are just numbers I really love. Since I don't like how this regularity of the 10+9+8=27 gets lost, when my last name is transcribed in English, I'll use it as written in Bulgarian. I hope you'll understand :).

Time Frame: 6 months from start date
For this challenge, you will be reading your favorite author and spelling out his or her name. You may use character names, significant places, or titles of books to make up the letters in the challenge.
What makes a place significant, you ask? Well. Let’s say Mr. Alpha Hero Guy “walks downtown”. Downtown is not a significant place. However, let’s say Mr. Alpha Hero Guy walks downtown to the Alpha Hero Guy’s Favorite Bar where he somewhat regularly shows his face and meets Ms. Hot and Needs Rescuing Gal. That would be a significant place. Use your judgment. If it sounds important to you, it will work for the challenge.
There are no ‘levels’ for this challenge, but I will throw in a few twists to help up the difficulty.
Twist #1: You may only use primary character names to fill in the challenge.
Twist #2: You may only use secondary character names to fill in the challenge.
Twist #3: You may only use books in the same genre as the author chosen to fill in the challenge.
Twist #4: You may only use books written by your chosen author to fill in the challenge. For this one, you can use character names, significant places, or the title to fill in the blank as long as it comes from a book written by the author you chose.
Twist #5: Instead of using an author name, use your name and any combination of twists above to complete the challenge.
Note: Books can only be used once regardless if you use the book title, a character name, or location.
Example:
I’m going to use Twist #4. All books used are by Kristen Ashley. Partial List.
