Alphabetical Appellations - Yearly Challenge
Is it either first or last names? And for hard letters like X or Z can it be anywhere in the name?
You can choose any part of the name First or Last. I'll even take the middle initial cause you just have to use Jericho Z. Barrons.

I'm in. Not sure what level yet. I knew there was a reason I haven't finished the fever series... I was just waiting for this,lol!!
what is the difference between easy & medium?
Easy has male and female on a list..so it's combined.Medium is either/or. All male characters or all female characters.

Sorry I wasn't clear. I've clarified it a little in the post. Hopefully it makes more sense now. ☻
hey Jennifer..here's a question for you...can you use the same book if you are doing both lists...once for each character?(male & female)
Only once! You'll have to read 52 different books.
