If I can be so informal to refer to Faulkner as Bill (BF) or use my former name (BS) for Saul Bellow or Samuel Beckett. Seems like I should read Beckett since my first name is Becky. Other suggestions?
any sugguestions with the initials i and w?
thank you Isabel! That was the only author i could think of as well
I couldn't find something for my first and last, which is CV - even reversed at VC. So I used my middle initial R and found something for CR. I could've gone for Raymond Chandler if I reversed first and middle... I might do that if I finish near the middle of the yr.

Frances Burney has three books on the list.
I can't find any with N F, nor with F N. What shall I do? Can I use the initials from my other first names (the second and third)? Then it would be N A E. Or E A N.
No AY or YA on this list. I assume I'll have better luck with AS/SA or SY/YS.

You can always just use one initial if you need to. First, Last, Middle, Former, Future, Suffix, Prefix, Nickname, Goodreads Name,
Your challenge your rules. We love creativity. Change your goodreads name to match the initials of something you want to read! Do something fun. We love it!

Okay, thank you! =)
For this task I read Legend by David Gemmell. He is the only author on the list who has the same initials as me.
This will be Isabell Allende for me with IA. Other alternative was IL but couldn't find any author that matches. Likely to be House of the spirits.
