Great, Suzanne! Welcome to the challenge!

[Gayle]

Your are so "evil" coming up with all of these challenges. I want to do SO many of them! This one I think I'll give a shot, not because I'm enamored of the Titanic, but for sentimental reasons. My late grandmother's birthday was a few days ago, she would have been 100. I remember how she would, so often, tell me that she was born the year the Titanic sank. She was about a month and a half old at the time. I'm not sure if I'm going to tackle this with a spell it out challenge or try find books to fit the various tasks in the challenge. But, if I choose a spell it out version, would you have any issues with me spelling out "grandma" or "grandmother"?

Not at all, Gayle! Wonderful idea, as she is your connection to the Titanic.

I absolutely love the idea of this challenge. I want to participate, but need to figure out how I'm going to do it.

I love Barbara's idea of combining the spell-it-out, along with the tasks, but I don't know that I could get it all done.

Gotta think about it. Then I'll be back to post my entry.

Great, southpaw! You'll have a year to do it, whatever you decide. ☺

Upon reading The Mournful Teddy I realized that the book actually centers around a teddy bear that commemorates the sinking of the Titanic . The Mournful Teddy is being auctioned off at the Shenandoah Valley Teddy Bear Extravaganza and expected to bring in $170,000! That is until the bear is kidnapped. A really good mystery with lots of twists and turns.

Barbara, I picked up The Mournful Teddy at the library! Yay! You're doing well, by the way. Great!

[Barbara ★]

I just added the rest of the series to my TBR - 5 books so far.

ETA: Just found out that the author will write no more books for this series. Apparently his editor didn't like the sales numbers so he is starting a new series. Drat! This is a good one.

[Lisa Kay]

Yes, Barbara, my library has the next three. ☺ Neat.
