This one has been born from the responses to Question 32.

Mission: Beginning September 1, keep track of titles that are missing a key vowel. For example:

No As- The Idiot
No Es- Fangirl
No Is- Bleak House
No Os- Pride and Prejudice
No Us- Moby-Dick; or, The Whale
No Ys- Welcome to Temptation

Since this one seems popular enough to have several members do it more than once, I'm extending the completion date to December 31, 2014.

Go, Team Vowel!

Y is a vowel?!

AEIOU and sometimes Y.
As in "my." Or working in combination as with: "stay" or "toy."
It's a letter of extraordinary versatility. :)

where's "no Os" ??

Oops! Thanks for catching that!
*edits for Os*

Oh, you're a teacher, Renee? What do you teach?? I'm a teacher too :)

Right now, I'm teaching third grade. Thought I'd end up teaching HS or Jr. High with my literature/journalism background, but ended up specializing in the lower end: Pre-1st, 1st, 2nd, 3rd... Maybe I'm working my way up to the higher grades!! :D

Thank you for that, Sandy. I've been truly, truly blessed to have students come back from HS, college, etc., because they had fond remembrances of being on my class. It doesn't get better than that for a teacher. (Hint Hint for everyone to email/tell that memorable teacher that she was.) ;-)

Sounds interesting! I definitely will do this challenge :D

I'll Buy A Vowel Mini-Challenge is ready for action!

No As-
No Es-
No Is-
No Os-
No Us-
No Ys-

I'm going to have so much fun looking for books to go into these!

Challenge completed - October 19th


No As - The Book of Joe
No Es - Zombicorns
No Is - Eleanor & Park
No Os - The Matchmaker
No Us - FaceOff
No Ys - The Expats

Oh, Kassandra, did you like The Expats? I've had it on my TBR pile for ever.

Camille, I just started it today (about 100 pages in so far) and I'm really enjoying it! I would definitely recommend it so far.

No As- The Hobbit
No Es- Fangirl
No Is- The Fear
No Os- Anna and the French Kiss
No Us- A Night of Blacker Darkness
No Ys- The Atlantis Complex

So great to have some of the new people joining us for this challenge! Welcome!

Sandy, I know how you feel with all of the challenges. The nice thing about this one is that it can integrate with all others so I'm seeing it as a bit if a bonus.

Sandy, try using the list of books Aitziber gave me for 150 pagers. They fit the vowel challenge!

And I agree with Kassandra, this fits nicely with everything else I planned on reading this month. A bonus indeed!!!

In for a penny, in for a buck! Or something like that. :D

Fun! Something I can actually accomplish w/out going crazy. (I tend to over-commit myself...)


No As:
No Es: 1Q84 (I may move this to fill another slot) *in progress*
No Is:
No Os:
No Us: Fall of Giants *in progress*
No Ys: The Woman Who Lost Her Soul *in progress*

Okay, so, no names will be shared, but maybe we want to double check our titles for vowels. Just putting it out there. X-)

Haha, I totally missed that! Fixing it now....

Note to self: Don't compose comments while simultaneously having a conversation with my boyfriend and watching TV. :)

Ha! You weren't the only one, Caroline! Those vowels are sneaky!

Nice going, Kara!

Flubbed on the I's, but I think I can change two titles around. :)

Maybe flip I and Y?

Yup, that's all it took! Back in business!

Yay!
I'm a Virgo and a teacher. These things make me happy. X-)

Are you finished, Iasa?

Woohoo! Good you!

No As- White Noise
No Es-
No Is-
No Os- Needful Things
No Us- The Charioteer
No Ys- The Age of Innocence

I'm throwing my lot in with all of you. Starting with my September reads and moving onwards. :) The first two didn't give me much flexibility, but I'm on Needful Things now.

Good job, Iasa!!!

Hooray for more "vowel-ites"' or "vowel-heads."
"Vowel-lovers" just sounds too kinky, and I've already got to live down the ugly "book slut" debacle.

Here we go!

No As- Hodd
No Es- Dracula
No Is- A Feast for Crows
No Os- Frankenstein
No Us- King Lear
No Ys- The Suspicions Of Mr Whicher Or The Murder At Road Hill House

Hooray! Lucy joins the fray!

Yeah. I did little reading in September, either. I have been chipping away at Phineas Redux, though, for No Os. And I'm part of a group that's doing Portrait of a Lady in October, which still puts me well within the challenge parameters.

I think it's wise to keep your options open. :D

Also, remember we have until the end of November.

I've bought all of my vowels and I'm finished! Yah!!! Just realized this today. :)

Nice Kob, Melissa! Vannah wis be so proud!

Uh, job.

Vannah has lots of vowels. :D

Great job Melissa!

Congrats Melissa! :D

(Only a few pages and I've bought all my vowels, too. That was easier than I thought :))
