Some AEIOUs from my shelves:


*Eleven Scandals to Start to Win a Duke's Heart - Sarah MacLean
*June - Lori Copeland
*Ruth - Lori Copeland
*The Princess and the Hound - Mette Ivie Harrison
*The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer - Michelle Hodkin

AEIOU that I found
I Am Forbidden: A Novel - Anouk Markovits (unfortunately, I'm already half-way though it by the time I realized...lol!)

[Katy]

I found more AEIOU than I expected on my TBR, if anyone is looking. Now I just have to pick which to use for this! I looooove this time of year for this very reason -- nothing better than filling out spreadsheets!!

Insurgent by Veronica Roth (sequel to Divergent)
The Fault in Our Stars - John Green
Night Soldiers - Alan Furst (actually, since he has the more-elusive U in his name, a number of his books work)
When the Emperor Was Divine - Julie Otsuka

[Dee]

i love that, the elusive U...although I found many with that, and then would be missing an A or an E...lol!

Exactly!! I had the most luck with the longest titles on my TBR, but not even all of those worked! ;)

[Dee]

i actually found one for another group's challenge that fits -

Wicked Eddies - Beth Groundwater (EI in the title, OUA in the author)

[Coralie]

If you like science fiction, I found two authors that have all five vowels in their names so you could read anything by them.
Lois McMaster Bujold
Daniel F. Galouye

[Christina (AKA Babbling)]

I was surprised by the number I found in mine (I'm pretty sure I found them all)

Blue Diablo
Children of Scarabaeus
Summer at Seaside Cove
The Diva Runs Out of Thyme -- and it has a Y!
Another One Bites the Dust

nice!

I found a ton in my lists... easiest way to look was to put in "a e i o u" (make sure you have the spaces between each letter) in the search box in the my books and it brings up everything you have with all those letters in it. :) The only thing you have to be careful for is that it will also include the series title.

Some of mine (I had 55 pages):
Susannah's Garden by Debbie Macomber
Wither by Lauren DeStefano
Suzanne's Diary for Nicholas
Mr. Darcy Takes a Wife: Pride and Prejudice Continues
Thriller: Stories To Keep You Up All Night
Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close
Wish You Well by David Baldacci
Micah by Laurell K. Hamilton
The Jungle by Upton Sinclair
Secrets of a Summer Night
Bleak House by Charles Dickens
The Iron Daughter
Spirit Bound by Richelle Mead
A Visit from the Goon Squad by Jennifer Egan
Fade Out by Rachel Caine
Charmed and Dangerous: The Rise of the Pretty Committee
The Lonely Hearts Club by Elizabeth Eulberg
Breakthrough! by Jon Queijo
The Naughty List by Jodi Redford
Claimed by Lauren Barnholdt

handy search tip meghan

[Christina (AKA Babbling)]

I found another one. :) I forgot I was filtering the books in my database (office vs. basement). I was looking for a book starting with a "Y". This is another title with AEIOU and Y (without using the author's name):

Yours for the Taking

[Barb]

If GR adds "A Novel" to the title, do the A, O and E in that addition count? For example: Picture This: A Novel, by Jacqueline Sheehan.

[Dlmrose, Moderator Emeritus]

We use the Goodreads title as it appears, so that works

[Rosemary]

The GR librarian rule is that "A Novel" should not be added as a subtitle so librarians are likely to delete it when they see it.

ETA: But since Dlmrose says it counts, I guess you should read it fast :-)

[Barb]

LOL Rosemary, and thanks to both of you :)

[mussolet]

Can I pick My Louisiana Sky for the second option? Or is that considered a children's novel and won't work for a 30 pt task?

-edit: Forget that I asked ... needs to begin with Y ... stupid me :(.

[Fran]

I am going to use Out in the Field by Kate McMurray for A and Bared to You by Sylvia Day for B.

[Marscha]

For the second option, when you use the book title, does it have to start with a "y" or does something like Anything for You work because it has a word (you) starting with a "y"?

The You in Anything for You works
