Kristin (kristinnb) How was the Anna series? They're on my to-read list.

It was quite fun. It was my first foray into the "horror" genre but I didn't find it that scary. It was definitely a good ghost story. I recommend them.

Rachel Sixteen letters done and it's only April! I'm quite proud of myself ;).
I am curious as to how I'm going to find an X book and a Z book but I shall be optimistic.

JanB | 980 comments Rachel, as soon as I saw your post a book I read a couple years ago came to mind: Z: A Novel of Zelda Fitzgerald by Therese Anne Fowler.

Rachel Thank you so much!

Yes, I'm thinking Z will be my Z as well. Lol. Or maybe a zombie book.


message 9: by Rachel (new)

Rachel Ooh, intriguing . . . I've never read a zombie book. I can't decide if I should check out what all the fuss is about zombies, the movies, TV shows, books--there are so many . . .


message 10: by Rachel (new)

Rachel I just started watching the cutest zombie TV show, if you can believe it, called "iZombie." Now if I could only find a cute zombie book . . .

I'm watching iZombie too! I really like it. Definitely a little different. Lol.

Rachel I got "N" today, yay! It's been a while since I added a new letter.

Rachel Hillary wrote: "Let me know of an X book"

Yeah, Hillary, I'm in that same predicament. I'm wondering about both X and Z.


message 18: by Rachel (new)

Rachel Got "E" today.


message 19: by Rachel (new)

Rachel Finally, a new letter achieved, got "L" today.


message 20: by Rachel (new)

Rachel Got the "Z"!!! That was a tough one to find.
I would recommend this book to anyone who wants something a little different.

Rachel I still need J, K, U, and X.

Any ideas or suggestions anyone ;) ??

Have you read Utopia yet? Jackaby is in my TBR. Kick is in my TBR. XVI will be my 'X' title.

That is so ironic, the first one at least! I haven't read Sir Thomas More's Utopia yet and I really ought to since I am directly descendant from him.


message 24: by Rachel (new)

Rachel Got the letter "U"!!!!! And there was much rejoicing ;).
All I need now is J, K, and X. The trick is not to buy anything new but to read off my TBR shelf . . .
hmmmmmm . . . . . .


message 25: by Rachel (new)

Rachel I have found an "X" book I really want to read. Now all I have to do is get my hands on a copy of it. It's out of print, none of the libraries carry it, none of the used bookstores have it, and I'm waiting for a copy to become available online.

Patience is a virtue . . .


message 26: by Rachel (new)

Rachel Got my "X"!
Yay!!


message 27: by Rachel (new)

Rachel Got my "K" today, yaaaayyyyy!!!!
Only one more to go.

That I awesome! I think I am down to 5 or 6 left.


message 30: by Rachel (new)

Rachel Thanks, Ladies! It's been a long haul and the end is in sight ;).


message 31: by Rachel (new)

Rachel I'm done ;)!!!
That was a lot harder than I thought it would be when I first signed up for it. Some letters that I would've thought would be so easy weren't. On the plus side, I got to revisit and rediscover a book that I had no idea I loved so much!

That's great Rachel, I'll be racing to the end!


message 34: by Kristin (new)
