Welcome to the challenge ladymurmur ;)

Thanks, Sandra!

May I ask for a ruling? What about authors with a middle name (Chelsea Quinn Yarbro, Diana Wynne Jones) or a hyphenated last name (I had an example when I started typing, and am now blanking). Can the middle name or the part of the hyphenation be used?

I'm planning ahead, and as you might expect, am struggling a little bit with Q and X. My sweetie, the rules lawyer, immediately starts looking for technicalities, so I thought I'd ask up front. :-)

Sorry, ladymurmur, middle names are the same as initials, so only X qualifies ;)

Good to know!

I've been combing the thread for last year's challenge, and have found some great suggestions for those hard to find letters. Also, I just realized I'm currently reading a title by Garth Nix, so X is covered. *facepalm*
