Congrats, Brenda!

Congratulations, Brenda! Yes, still plenty of time to try to fit in another word.

How do you run out of space? On my Nook I can archive books, which I use for books that have been read or are duplicates where I picked up a cheap omnibus that includes a single volume I may already have had on the Nook, or store books in the cloud, which I use for sample pages, books that aren't in the active soon to be read category. I can store apps on my mini card.

This is my first challenge to participate in...I'm ready to go!

Happy Spring fellow readers! Looking forward to the latest challenge :)

I have finally finished 2 words: EASTER and ANZAC. I still have a few more to go. I hate it when I have all but one letter in a bunch of words. Lots of reading to go, but still over a month to finish.

Updated at message #23

Good job Carla! :) I'm glad we have more time, too. ;) :)

I have too many other challenges right now to do another word in this one! Maybe in the Summer challenge. I think I have become addicted to all of these great ideas. :)

Jackie: There are worse addictions. '-D

So true Heather!

Last year I got wrapped up a lot of challenges. Had trouble keeping them all straight, but they were so much fun. I think I became addicted. Decided to cut back a bit this year. Doing the yearly, the seasonal, and the monthly. And, of course, some books cross over to all three. I love the challenges not only to make me feel like I accomplished something...but, it helps me to select the next book in my TBR pile!

Congrats on your challenge!

Thanks Valerie! It's hard to realize that another month is almost finished.

Done. Read a lot of other books that only made up partial words. Darn vowels again. Need to start looking ahead for books with those kind of letters.

Finished. Didn't do the word I had planned, but I made it.


L- Margaritas, Marzipan, and Murder by Harper (L)in
I- If Fried Chicken Could Fly by Paige Shelton
L- Bake, Battle & Roll Guys by (L)eighann Dobbs
A- Bleeding Hearts by Susan Wittig (A)lbert
C- Chocolate Most Deadly by Mary Maxwell
S- Sweet Tea Revenge by Laura Childs

Congrats Valerie! :) Congrats Kellene! :)

Congratulations, Kellene! Good job, Valerie. I know what you mean about those pesky vowels!

Valerie wrote: "Done. Read a lot of other books that only made up partial words. Darn vowels again. Need to start looking ahead for books with those kind of letters."

I know what you mean about the vowels! Normally I plan out my words ahead, this time I've been figuring out words based on what I've read and it all centers around what vowels I've read. First I was looking for a word with a U and then it was all about the A's.

Congrats on finishing, Valerie and Kellene! I have two words done, about to start a vowel for my last one.

Congrats to all who have finished! Now to begin the crossword...

Finished my last word for Spring! Updated Message #27 - really enjoyed this season and looking forward to clearing out even more with the Summer challenge.

Congrats, Brenda!

Great job, Brenda!

Good thing I have a few more days to finish off Immortal in Death so I can get the "I" I need to finish my second word.

Congrats Brenda! :)

Hi, gang: I finished all my words. Look at number 24.

Congratulations Rhonda! :)

Congrats, Rhonda!

Good job, Rhonda!

Forgot that I finished this challenge last week, with three words. I was hoping to get a fourth in, but that looks unlikely (it's those darn vowels, LOL!)


Spring 2016 Challenge


L = Last Dance by Joyce Lavene and Jim Lavene
I = It Takes a Witch by Heather Blake
L = Lemon Pies and Little White Lies by Ellery Adams
A = The Abandoned by Amanda Stevens
C = Chance of a Ghost by E.J. Copperman


K = A Killer Maize by Paige Shelton
I = Irish Chain by Earlene Fowler
T = The Tenant of Wildfell Hall by Anne Brontë
E = An Early Wake by Sheila Connolly


R = The Return of the Soldier by Rebecca West
O = The Obsession by Nora Roberts
B = The Best Loved Poems of Jacqueline Kennedy-Onassis by Caroline Kennedy
I = Irish Stewed by Kylie Logan
N = Nightmares Can Be Murder by Mary Kennedy

Wow, I'm impressed, Heather! I agree with you on thoise pesky vowels.

Thanks, Julesy! I managed to come up with a number of "i's", but "e" was especially problematic. I have books, it's just that most are further along in a series than I am at the moment, and I can't read series books out of order.

I'm putting all my reading time into finishing off my second word, see message 77 above. I am about 1/3 of the way through Immortal In Death, which will finally nail down this challenge, then time to work on the rest of the June mini challenge
