Joanne wrote: "Five books left for the alphabet Title challenge. Anyone have fictions/mystery suggestions for book titles starting with J, O, U, X and Z?

A: Alone - Gardner
B: Back on Blossom Street - Macomber
C..."

For J I have Jane and the Unpleasantness at Scargrave Manor by Stephanie Barron (A Jane Austen Mystery)
For O I have The Outlaws of Ennor by Michael Jecks (a medieval mystery). For U Under Capricorn by Helen Simpson (I believe Alfred Hitchcock made a movie with the same title). I will have to work on X and Z! Stephanie BarronUnder Capricorn

Yes Joanne, X is problematic. I found one though, if you don't mind adding a mystery to your list. It's The Xibalba Murders by Lyn Hamilton. I found the suggestion right here on Goodreads!
The Xibalba Murders


Hope that helps!

Good idea! I'm going to start again this year, too. I did titles last year and got 24/26 - just missed U and X. This year, I think I'll do authors! Happy reading!
