Why am I foreseeing some struggles with some of these letters? I'm curious to see which ones end up being the hardest to fill.

LOL I think X will prove to be a struggle.

oh, this is kinda neat, but I have way too many challenges already...

This one is kind of easy to just go as you read and see what happens. If you don't want to do it within a years time then you don't have to.
The trick is to remember to either write the names down or come back after you complete a book. I have a little notebook where I just check the characters names to the letters I have left that sits next to all of my library books.

Xhex -

Kind of wishing I hadn't already read it. Although, I did like it so I would be willing to reread it if it comes down to it.

I was surprised to get Y as quickly as I did. I'm worried about U personally.

Haha I'm too forgetful, I'd misplace the the notebook. Looks like I'll have to keep coming back here everytime I finish a book.

I don't ever move the notebook. That's the key. It sits next to the computer so when I think about it I have it right there to update.

Oh...I should update mine... Umm...there's a u name toward the end of the Kenyon series. Then, you can use Uncle Bob, or Ubie, as the character calls him jokingly from First Grave on the Right.

Ulysses is a big one too.
