Question : Do these challenges start when we join the group? Or for the year, or what?

Yeah, I'd like to know that, too...

Generally when you join. They're all just for fun. No due dates on these I've just been using what I've read within the last week.

Oh okay. Well I think I will start from today. Thanks, Heather. Oh, can we maybe use our middle names if we finish the first?

Ya. If you want to make it harder use your full name or name and nickname.
In a to z I'm working on that in another group so I just used what I was doing there to get things going. I wouldn't go back more than a month from before you join though

Alright. I'm just going to make it hard on myself and start now. It's more of a challenge for me if I do it that way. Think I will use Zakiya first, then Kiya, which is my nickname. Or maybe Kiki, or Nerd. Haha!

And since they are just for fun I'm guessing it's ok if books overlap?

A- Awaken Me Darkly
N- Nice Girls Don't Have Fangs
G- Greyhound
E- Early to Death, Early to Rise
L- Lover Revealed
A- The Agency

and my middle not sure I'll do these though

L- Lover Unbound
O- One for the Money
R- Red Hot Fury
R-
A-
I- I Am Legend
N- Nightseer
E-


It might be a bit before I pick something for the last few letters

It's kind of up to you. I won't use the same book for 6 different challenges, but it it works as a letter and a country, you could. Or, you can make it harder and don't let anything overlap. I'm trying not to overlap too much, but I'm sure I will a little.

I think I am only using them in 2 challenges so far but I think the location ones might make it a 3rd depending on where the books are set

I won't be nit-picky like I have to be in Delerity.

Sounds good ;)

Ummm, then I'll use my nickname, Ginny.

G - Girls on Film 9/19
