Sarah B | 391 comments I just read:

Z: Zombie Queen of Newbury High by Amanda Ashby


message 5: by Sarah (new)

Sarah B | 391 comments I also read:

D: the Descent by Tim Johnston

H: the Hike by Drew Magary

So I only have to read books for these letters:

J, K, N, Q, U, Y.

I should go look in my pile of books to see if by chance I have something that fits. 😁 😊

Sarah B | 391 comments Oooh...I'm on the desktop version right now and I see I can edit posts! That means later I can fix my first post and add the newer books I read.

So I went to the library a little while ago. I went looking for a J book. I decided to start in the teen books because sometimes I find good books to read over there. So you will not believe how hard it is to find a book that starts with a "J"! I looked through 5 long shelves of books before I found one!! And I vowed to read the first "J" book I ran across!! So I found one. It is called "The Jumbee" by Pamela Keyes. Luckily it looks like the type of book I would enjoy reading...so I lucked out there. 😁

Then when I got home I looked through the stack of books I own and found titles for K, N, U and Y. I put those on the side so I can find them easier later. 😃

So I'm only missing Q then. So when the time comes I'll go back to the library and search for a Q title in the stacks.
