! YA Heroines ! discussion

Your challenge, should you wish to accept it, is to read three books titled so that the first letter of the titles will spell M-A-Y. In order to count, it must be the first letter of the first word (unless the first word is The). For a bonus, read a book with the word May or Spring in the title. The challenge will begin May 1 and run through May 31.

One of the fun things about mini challenges is that most things count! lol And you can use any of these books for any of your other challenges as well. Just make sure they are read in the month of May.

And I have some prizes too...

It doesn't have to be YA. It can be anything you want to read.

M-Moonlight
A-Alpha Moon
Y-You Don't Know Me

May-Missing May
spring- Goddess of Spring

Ok these are the books I found and am planning on reading when I get them done I will put the date next to them some of them are outside of what I read so I'm trying some new books

ok my bad I thought we were spelling out spring thanks for catching me up

IKR spring is possible but I don't know about May lol

I am struggling with Y books lol, anyone have any good ideas?

M ~ (haven't found...)
A ~ A Matter of Magic - Patricia C. Wrede (A counts right?)
Y ~ You Don't Scare Me! - R. L. Stine

Bonus

Yes, A Matter of Magic will count for the A. It would also count for M so you can use it for one or the other.

And when looking for books for the bonus round, remember, use your resources. Goodreads and other search-ey sites can help you out...

M ~
A ~ And She Was: A Novel of Suspense by Alison Gaylin
Y ~

Bonus:
May ~
Spring ~

M- Murder on the Orient Express
A - An Unsuitable Job for a Woman
Y - You're Not my Mother

May - The Cloning of Joanna May
Spring - The Silent Spring

Disclaimer: hope it was ok to put in books you've already read? You're not my mother i can manage this month but the others are pretty meaty reads :)

Great challenge, thx. Reunited me with some old favorites

R.L., we want to read the books during the month of May. If you've already read them and are going to re-read them this month, that's okay.

Why don't you do The Maze of Bones for M? It's on your to read list.

Yeah, it's on your to-read list.

M- A Million Suns
A- Angels and Demons
Y- You Can't Say You Can't Play

May- The Extraordinary Secrets of April, May, & June
Spring-

I may have bitten off more than I can chew this month! lol I am trying to read all 5 books for this challenge and The Fellowship of the Ring for the challenge picked by Shrishti, and I'm buying a house and moving, and I'm a bridesmaid in my brother's wedding and throwing the wedding shower this weekend. And I still have to work full time and do laundry! lol

I'm just annoyed because I haven't got much reading done in the past week. I should have finished at least one, if not two, novels in the past 7 days and I don't think I've read 7 pages. And reading is how I relax! And I can't relax if I can't read! Every spare minute right now is spent putting together favors for the shower and making the games, and chasing down people who didn't RSVP, and finalizing the photographer and the cake and the restaurant reservation and ordering flowers, not to mention I still have to do the flower arrangements come Saturday morning after I pick the flowers up from the florist. Oh, AND it's Mother's Day. Which means I have to remind my brother to come see my mom and hopefully, at the very least, bring her a card so her feelings won't be hurt. Because he ALWAYS forgets.

I'm tired just from typing all that! lol Hopefully after the shower is done this weekend some time will free up and I'll get back to my nice relaxing books. But then, I have to pack everything I own to move into my new house at the end of the month. *sigh* I may not finish my own challenge! lol

How is everyone else doing so far?

Awww :( I hope you will finally get the time to sit down and relax! Sometimes I feel the exact same as you, even though I'm not that busy. I'm sure that you can do it Cindy!

By the way congrats on the new house!

Thanks, Chelsea and Shrishti. I still haven't gotten much reading done but we had the wedding shower on Saturday and it was a wonderful success. My sis-in-law loved it and that definitely made the stress worth it! Now to do a little reading before bed.

How is everyone else progressing with this challenge?

I'm almost halfway through my book. Reading has been really slow lately due to school.

A - An Abundance of Katherines
