Thank you. I have just scoured facebook groups to get my Z book and they have come up with a Ruth Rendell one

Thanks Brenda - I was going to check that one since it's a Nora Roberts, not a JD Robb but was hoping it was a mystery. Now I'll have to find another Y! (and a U, Q, X and Z!)

I spent AGES searching for Y and Z yesterday! Phrynne helped me with the Z and I found the Y, checked my library and it's there!! Yay! I guess that's why it's a "challenge" lol!

Doesn't she though! I loved a romantic suspense of hers I read ages ago, which had been recommended - Whiskey Beach

She does indeed! I definitely want to read Year One soon :)

Thanks B..."
Definitely a challenge finding X and Z but fun trawling through book lists! Might steal your Z book Brenda - sounds good!

In your comment box Lianne, click on "add book/author" - top right hand corner. Then put your book title or ISBN in and click "search". Once the correct book is showing, click "add" and it'll appear in the comment box. Go back in and change over to author, then add again, and if you want the cover pic as well, go to the bottom where it shows "link" or "cover" and change it over. Have a play with it and have fun! Good luck and give us a yell if you have trouble :)
