Finished my 'W' book 2 days late, so even a 31-day month wouldn't have saved me. That's what I get for choosing an 800+ page book, but it was worth the read - and even the missed completion of my challenge!
Still, BJ Rose, very well done!

Every other month we’ll pick a different language to spell the words of love. Spelling out words, such as:...or any other word that reminds you of love.
We will provide you the language - and you decide on the word. We’ll offer the ones we mentioned, but feel free to look up and spell something else.
You may spell a word phonetically, if you desire.
DURATION (TWO MONTHS): May 1st - June 30th, 2017
For May & June, 2017, the language is Ojibwe. RULES: Decide on a word. Then read books with titles, series names, authors (first or last name), character (first or last name), that begin with letters that correspond to letter of the word you choose. You may ignore the indefinite and definite articles (a, an, the, etc.). “X” and “Z” may be anywhere in the title, author’s name, character’s name, or series name of your book. “Q” and “U” may be the start of any word in the series name, such as with the Carpenter and Quincannon Mysteries or FBI/US Attorney .If you need to know, here is info on how to Add a Book or Bookcover Link.
Special Note: This challenge is inspired by our member, Sandra’s, monthly Hello/Goodbye over in Who's Your Author... but we tweaked it a bit.
About Ojibwa from OWL: (view spoiler)[Ojibwa (Ojibwe, Ojibway) belongs to the Ojibwa-Potawatomi group of the Algonquian branch of the Algic language family. Speakers of Ojibwa call it Anishinaabemowin or Ojibwemowin. It is a macrolanguage comprised of a number of autonomous varieties with no standard writing system. Several varieties of Ojibwa are spoken in Canada from Quebec, through Ontario, Manitoba and parts of Saskatchewan, with outlying communities in Alberta. Ojibwa is the third most spoken language cluster in Canada, after Inuktitut and Cree. In the U.S. Ojibwa is the most commonly spoken aboriginal language after Navajo and Cree. Varieties of Ojibwa are spoken in the U.S. from Michigan through Wisconsin and Minnesota, with a number of outlying communities in North Dakota, Montana, Kansas and Oklahoma. (hide spoiler)]
