Maralee wrote: "Any suggestions for U or X that are either free or super cheap..."

Usually for this challenge, for the hard letters, you are able to pick an author that has the letter in the name. What do ya think, moderator, would that be ok? :-)

For "U", now and then, Leon Uris's books are on sale for $2.99 and he's fantastic! Can't help you with "X" though.

Beth, that's a great idea, especially for X! If we could use "MaXwell" or whatever it would be a great help!

If I can count E in the first name, then I read a couplebook by "E" authors. And only missed O, Q, U, X, Y,and Z.
