Starting late, but I'm excited to complete this reading challenge! Shoutout to sci-fi and fantasy for doing most of the heavy lifting. 😂💕
I'll try my best to keep it to first names! (ETA: Okay first names is really hard, but I definitely kept it to first letters LMAO)
---------
ETA 1:
Did some searching and I think I've found some books to complete the challenge:
I: Ivan - Ivan the Bold By Denali Day
Ivan Lukov - From Lukov with Love By Mariana Zapata
Q: Q./Quinn - Beautiful Liar By Zara Cox
Y: Yeti - Haley and the Yeti By Laura Langa | His nickname is Yeti, so it's cheating a bit.
---------
ETA 2:
Finally completed the challenge! I ended up finishing I - Io Rae Nepenthe, Q - Quinn Beautiful Liar, and Y - Royal Bad Apple.
