Delirity discussion

Pick one of the following words associated with the new year. Then, read the word. I picked words that very in length so you can find something that fits you personally. These are just ideas, so if you have a word you'd like to add that fits then feel free. You can even use more than one of the words to make the challenge harder, but you cannot earn more than 10 points. You'll earn a point for each letter you complete (up to 10).

For this challenge you may use the first letter of a primary word in the title (excludes the, of, and, an,...), or of an authors name. The name of the series does NOT count.
For example, you could use any of the bolded letters in the following:
The Taste of Night - Vicky Petterson.

Just remember to bold the letter you are using. Also, PLEASE only post your list once and keep a tally at the top of your list. It's easier for me to tally points that way. AND, keep these books different from ones you're using for other challenges in this group if you're reading for points!


Word Bank:

end, eve, new, year, diet , kiss, party, start, cheer, clock, happy, parade, midnight, balloons, champagne, celebrate, resolution, traditions, beginnings



***This challenge was opened on 11/29/2011 so you cannot use books that were read before then.***

If anyone needs O's or E's the White House Chef Mystery series has 2 books that works. I normally have issues with O's and I got lucky and came across it.

Is it bad that I could have easily finished this all ready, but I keep putting off the last two books for other stuff. I keep getting in new Rachel Gibson's I want to read instead.

Not at all Heather. I am in the same boat, have books that could finish this one up, but keep putting them in other places.

I haven't been wanting to read my last batch of library books, but I pick them up as most aren't renewable.

Ya, I have a few brand new releases I have to read and I don't want to. I'm kind of over historical romance at the moment and I'm 1/2 way through my "I" book and I just don't want to finish. It's not bad, but they're all starting to blend together and I need a break. I just got 70 pages into another book and I'm putting it down as well. I like the author so I'm sure it'll get good, but I just want to read about cute hockey players right now. Too bad I have to wait until tomorrow for my next Chinook book.

Done.

Good job Heather! I will be joining you in finishing this one later today.

I'm in! And changing my word, I'm not going to finish celebrate. But cheer is done!

Tya, for E's pick up Cynthia Eden's books. She has a ton out and they are good. You will get the E's fast that way.

Thanks, Darcy. I've just put Eternal Hunter on hold at my library! There's another E title in that series as well. Sweet.

Remember you can use the author's names too, Tya.

All done for me too. :)

I'm reading a V book right now and I really want to post all of the alphabet challenges for the year just in case I end up with a V word. I'm trying to be strong and wait.

That is funny Heather, I know waiting isn't your strong suit.

I'd rather just make up more challenges if I finish them all then wait patiently to post them once I've decided what to do. I'm OCD about finishing things so I don't like not getting started right away.

Great job Joeera!

Awesome!

I'm done with this one.

Congrats Suzanne!

Good job.

I think I'm done...that is, if my last S counts.

Congrats Samantha!

Thanks, Darcy, it was one of the shorter words I could pick. ;) At least I've finished one challenge for this month.

As long as it works for you, then that is all that is important.

Good job. It counts as long as she always uses the S and not just something you threw in there.

Finished!

Great Jessica!

Good job Jessica!
