Absolutely, Odd is his name. (And Yay! I hope you're FINALLY getting to these!)"
I only have the last 3 in the series to go. One of my goals for the year is to finish that series! :) I'm trying very hard to use books that I already own for these challenges, so that definitely helps.
Would the Deadpool graphic novels count since his name is in the title?
Kristen wrote: "Would the Deadpool graphic novels count since his name is in the title?"Yes, they will count.
I just remembered, I read The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry back in January and forgot to count it here. Is it too late?

We can take Anne Perry and the Murder of the Century but Uncle Fred is already listed under Seven Continents.
Rebecca wrote: "I got my second: The Mysterious Benedict Society"That one is in my stack. At first I was annoyed because it's just shy of the 500 page mark, so, alas, no Finger-Crusher. I never even thought to count it for this challenge. Good thinkin'!

Michael, this is your second "Name in the Title" book, you'd added Henry Reed, Inc. back in June.

Hi Michael, for this category the name has to be part of the title, not part of the series name. So "Theodore Boone: Kid Lawyer" works, but the other two books in the series, "The Abduction" and "The Accused" do not.
