The Reading Challenge Group discussion

This one has been quite popular in previous years. It's just so darn challenging. :)
It was born from the responses to Question 32.

Mission: Beginning September 1, keep track of titles that are missing a key vowel. For example:

No As- The Idiot
No Es- Fangirl
No Is- Bleak House
No Os- Pride and Prejudice
No Us- Moby-Dick; or, The Whale
No Ys- Welcome to Temptation

Challenge runs until December 31. Good Luck!

I'm in. Keep track on this thread?

Yes. Most members will post the list of vowels and fill it in by using the "edit" function.

I think I'm goanna try for this again this year... I manganged 3 rounds last year.

All done!

Yippee! Great job!

Congrats Sam and nice list!

Sigh. I'm having trouble formatting. How can I keep three lines from running together?

What do you mean?

Linda, you should just be able to start a new line with the Enter key. I don't know why that wouldn't be working for you!
