O Name in Title - A Prayer for Owen Meany 4/13/13

Read Last Name D:A Thousand Pardons by Jonathan Dee, finished this one on 4/9 4 stars.

I finished Tom's First Spy Adventure for name in title T a few days ago, but had to add it into the database before I could link to it.

That must be a really new book, Susan.

It came out in July 2012, but it's self-published, so it doesn't get any advertising to get people's attention. My review is here , but I confess to some bias because the author is a good friend of mine. If anyone wants to see more about it, a good link is at .

Thanks Susan. :)

Just finished Double Dexter for Name in Title D.

First Name F - The Legend of Mickey Tussler by Frank Nappi.

Finished The Redeemer for Title letter R.

Finished Zahrah the Windseeker for name in title Z . And yes, it really was the name she was given at birth.

Well, it's been a while... and I can say that this will be the second last recovery task for this Tower.

Please do NOT report any other reads until you have completed your recovery task. Please let me know when you have completed your recovery task in this thread.

Your recovery task is Famous Fortress #10 � Peter & Paul Fortress, Russia

Oh, not again! Groan! It's been a while because I haven't been shooting much. See what I get for just trying to do my duty. :(

And not a one on the list I was considering for the Zombie Monopoly game. Sigh.

OK. Finished. Read The Golden Grove for my recovery task.

WTG, Susan!

***Hmmm...I wonder if sonic warfare will work against this tower...I'll give it a shot!***

Using my faithful hound to bark this tower to death!

Author Last Name "U": Hound Dog True by Linda Urban - 5/22/13 ★★★�

Great work, D.G.

And that finishes off the Last Name section of this Tower.

14 alphabets / books to go!

Woohoo! Off to see if there's any letter left I can reserve. :)

I hope my luck lasts...I've been training and training with the people in this book for quick assault in this tower. The guy kills people for a living! Everybody inside be afraid!!

Training seems to be working! Keep it up :)

Yay!! **shadow boxing**

Finished In My Hands: Memories of a Holocaust Rescuer by Irene Gut Opdyke for author's first name "I"

Good shot, Amy :)

One more first name (Y) to finish off that section and 12 overall for the Tower ;D

I intend to start it today.

Has anyone reserved F, G, or X in Title? I have read books I can submit for those.

No Z's though.

And would a cat count for name in title? I read Whittington.

I think Tien mentioned at the beginning that only people counted and not animals. :)

Bea - You can see what has been reserved in this thread: http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/1...

I think all that is left unreserved is as follows:

Name in Title: U, W, X

Thanks, DG. Looks like a I can't help further. Oh, well.

Throwing Blue Sunflower Startle by Yasmin Ladha at first name Y.

I'm hoping to read Ubik soon. Does anyone know if that's the actual given name of a characters?

Yay! First Name Completed :D

I finished reading The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo yesterday, for the Title list :)

Ebony wrote: "I finished reading The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo yesterday, for the Title list :)"

Hey Ebony, the Planning thread noted that G for Title is reserved for Vi... so unless Vi is letting of her reservation, I can't register your shot, sorry...

Oh jeebus, I didnt even look in the planning thread, sorry!

No worries, you've probably forgotten on the rules etc since you've been absent for some months :)

I'll be sneaky in this attack...hopefully I don't get apprehended and gotten in handcuffs like it happens to Lexi!

JINX!! Ack, I'm happy to say though that this is the last recovery task involved in this Tower!

Your recovery task is Famous Fortress #9 � El Moro, Cuba

Taken away in handcuffs! Oh well...at least it's not a difficult one.

Finished my recovery (mostly while on vacation!) and read: A Duke's Temptation by Jillian Hunter - 8/16/13 ★★ (set in the UK)

For "Name in Title" I am shooting Ursula, Under at the tower. Hope it's a good shot!

Yay, DG

Great work, LynnB! 9 more books to go!!

Finally! Shooting at this tower again...hopefully it's a true hit!

Name in Title "I": Lady Isabella's Scandalous Marriage by Jennifer Ashley - 11/19/13 ★★�

Thanks, D.G.

All shots are good on this tower as all alphabets need to be hit.

8 more books to finish off this tower.

I know that the 8 books remaining for this tower are probably all reserved, but I have 6 that might help.

Title:
F - High Five
G - Grave Secret
X - either Six Feet Under or Exit to Eden
Z - Zen Flesh, Zen Bones: A Collection of Zen and Pre-Zen Writings

The first two should be good but the last three might have been reported to another tower - although I checked Pages and shelves and did not see them.

Name in Title:
L - Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter
W - Whitney, My Love

Both of these might have been reported, although I did not find them in Pages and Shelves.

Bea has given you some to work with, but in case they've been used elsewhere, I also have a few read this year that may work:

Title:
F - Fateful Harvest: The True Story of a Small Town, a Global Industry, and a Toxic Secret
G - The Geography of Bliss
x - The Alpine Xanadu

Name in Title:
K - Kinsey and Me: Stories
W - Songs of Willow Frost

Hope these help!

Bea, Zen Flesh was used for Shelves Tower

And LynnB, Kinsey & Me used for Pages Tower

F, G, X reserved by Jean, Vi, and Lahni who haven't been around for a while so I can take these shots, Bea. Will also take your W shot.

YAY! 4 Left:

Z for Title

K L N for Name in Title

All these are reserved by those who haven't been around in a while so I'm just going to open it up to anyone who has read any for these & haven't used it for any other Towers...

I can throw Zoo City at Z for title. I can't help with the name in title. I don't seem to read many books with names in the title.
