It looks like Miss Kenjii is in the throes of school, so I will post a quick challenge this month. Let's back date from the first of the month and try to end it by 8/31. Nothing too hard, we'll just do the month:

A
U
G
U
S
T


Using the characters's first OR last name, the authors' first or last name, and the title of the book, spell out AUGUST.

Help: for the second U you can use any other vowel to substitute, but only for one of the U's.

Well, Bronwyn, I used a lot of the books from the beginning of the month, so I back dated.

Bridget (bekeown) | 126 comments I've managed to tackle more reading than I thought I would this month...mind if I jump in a little late?

Remember as stated in the rules in the first post, you can substitute the second "u" for any other vowel (y doesn't count for this) to make it a little easier. if you have two "u" books or characters or authors then you are welcome to use them, but if not, you can substitute like I did in post 6.


message 13: by Bridget (new)

Bridget (bekeown) | 126 comments Yay! Thanks :)

A: Dark Light of Day by Jill Archer **** 08/20

U:

G: In the Barrister's Bed by Tina Gabrielle *** 08/17

U: (Substituting I for U) Illicit Desire **** 08/12

S: Widow’s Web [Character: Salina] **** 08/01

T: Twisted Up(Currently reading)

Hey Bronwyn, I just noticed you are substituting U for R, but unfortunately you have to substitute for another vowel, not any other letter, so your pick won't work.


Edited to ADD: but looking at the description, the characters are named Andy and Emily so you could use either one of those!


Unapologetic_Bookaholic OMG SASSY! THANK YOU! I got great news but anyway, LOL! Thank you for keeping this going *whispers , I finished a book lol*. I have a reading class so I may finish quite a few. I got my mojo back baby yeah!


Unapologetic_Bookaholic We can maybe do the name game for Sept.?? Just an idea:

The color of the cover must be mostly:
B
L
U
E

so what's going on here? You are looking for FOUR books to complete ONE challenge. ALL books MUST have blue covers ((again mostly blue, I will let the Mod decide))

Another topic:

The romance theme is:
P
N
R

Everyone should know that stands for paranormal romance and so you will only need to read THREE PNR books to complete the challenge. You can mix and match so one of these or more. Add 'spell the month' and so forth :) Name Game just made it up lol

MissKenjii, can we do that for october. I already put up a September challenge--I wasn't sure when you'd be back. Do you want me to change it?
