Naming Conventions Challenge

The creative idea for this challenge makes it impossible to pass on it, so I'm in. Maria from Reading My Way Through Life is the girl behind it - go check out her blog and the detailed challenge rules!

For here, I'll just say that the challenge would be different for everyone, depending on their first name. My name is Joanna, which has 6 letters, so the challenge lasts 6 months - starting on 1 September so until 1 March 2009. As for the list, for each letter of my name I have to choose a book whose author's last name begins with that letter, whose author's first name does and/or a book with a title beginning with that letter. I'm going to do all 3 options, just because it's fun!

Completed: 10/18 as of 1 March 2009 :-(
