Daffodil, we were trying to think of a way to make it fair for everyone--I have 5 letters in my 1st name, someone else has 8...do we do first & last names...do we do usernames instead? If we do, I have 9 and AH has 2...you get the picture. :) So we were talking doing the ABC's, but anyone who'd done an A-Z challenge knows how much Q, X & Z suck. So Steph came up with the ingenious idea of doing the group name--everyone does the same letters & amount of letters, and no stupid Q, X or Z. ;)
I'm definitely in--off to work on my list.

Ooh Angie, lots of awesome books on there--Chicoland Vamps, Downside Ghosts, Parasol Protectorate, Dark Swan...4 great series. And then of course Mockingjay, Alpha, Shadowfever & Last Sacrifice...there's a bunch of awesome series wrapping up this year & next.And thank you so much for the "Ink" idea--I needed one more "I" for my list--how did I not think of "ink" for a cover with a tattoo? And me with 3 of my own. ;)
Thanks! I was wracking my head with the o's! :) I had three at once. The ink came after awhile - I have 3 also. Yes I'm excited to start those series as well . They look really good! :))
