Romance Readers Reading Challenges discussion

O-C-T-O-B-E-R

Two O's this month - I don't know whether they're any easier to find than the two U's from last month :)

The idea is simple: you take the letters of the month, and for each letter you find a book which either has an author whose first or last name starts with this letter or a book which title starts with the given letter. Remember to disregard all the articles: a, an, the...

The duration of the challenge is from the beginning of the month to the last day, but you can post your list ahead of time if you want to.

Challenge Duration: October 1 - October 31, 2010.
