Unapologetic_Bookaholic Say my name challenge!

Three levels to this challenge. Granted you have to have a first, middle and last name which mostly everyone does. I'll except screen name or nick names too.

Level one FIRST NAME
SO my full name is Kenjii Daalmonette Hopgood
I would put
K
E
N
J
I
I
How do I fill in the blanks? Usiing an author's FIRST or Last name. A CHARACTER's FIRST name OR the FIRST word in a title. You can skip the, a, an, words like that.

Level two
Your FIRST and LAST name
K
E
N
J
I

H
O
P
G

D


LEVEL three
Your first, middle and last name. I'm debating if this challenge will take more than a month to complete so at the end of May ill see if everyone wants to end it or continue on in June plus start a new (short bonus) challenge.

Unapologetic_Bookaholic Great going!

Well I think it was fun even though I didn't read anything lol this year hasn't been all that great for reading lol...but if you all liked the challenge let me know and I'll repost it by the end of the day.

I think it may have been harder than expected. I had too many darn h's personally. But I want to hear what others say.

I would prefer something different this time though


Unapologetic_Bookaholic Ok, no problem ;) I could do something like the cover hunt or the regular challenge with five themes


message 30: by Bronwyn (new)

Bronwyn Rykiert | 140 comments Congrats to Bridget and Sassafrass well done, lots of reading there. I managed to only finish 5 of my 6 choices. Roll on next month.


message 31: by Bridget (new)

Bridget (bekeown) | 126 comments I had fun with this one, especially in choosing which books to read (though I need a name with less 'E's!) :)


Unapologetic_Bookaholic Alright! I'm gonna post June right now....
