I have a typo in this challenge and nobody noticed it. Each book should only be used for 2 letters since they can only be used for first and last last names. It isn't possible to be used for 3 letters. Not one of you caught that. LOL! I am going to edit that now...

Denise usually does the title/series challenge. She didn't think there was interest. I passed this comment on to her and she has posted a new thread for this year ; )
