I’m proud that I only had 2 letters I couldn’t get, X and V. Although V is nagging me…I’m sure I’ve read something by someone with that letter in their name…but I can’t remember whom.
In other news…guess who has a tooth!!! Yep, the little booger has himself a brand-spankin-new weapon to sink into your skin at any given moment. It’s not big enough to really see yet, but boy can you feel it!

I’ve been thinking of doing this one, but I just haven’t wanted to think that hard. LOL And yay for teeth! Or not. lol
Daisy has some brand new grown up teeth. I’m ready for those sharp puppy teeth to be GONE.

I loved a Tree Grows in Brooklyn, too. Didn’t she write a sequel? And have you read it? I liked this so much I can’t imagine a sequel even comparing….And I really need to read The Three Musketeers.

What a fun looking meme. Now if only I could remember stuff I’ve read for more than a week or two.

Yay - you did it. I couldn’t come up with Q & X. Need to read more!

Man. Since I did this meme I keep thinking of better books for the letters. There were a few I couldn’t get, but I know I have read books by those letters, I just don’t own them anymore so it is sort of out of sight, out of mind.

Hey! I just did this on my blog today too!
I’ve come to you from Dewey’s Weekly Geeks idea/thing… just doing my blog visiting. I like yours, so I’m posting about you on my blog as one of the “new to me” bloggers!

I can’t figure out why the idea of doing this meme makes my head throb.
Oh, boy, teeth. Always fun. My youngest was a biter. I always thought that was so funny because I knew all those mamas of biters and thought hahaha because my firstborn was such an angel in that regard. And, then I gave birth to my own little biter and karma got back at me. Such a joy.

I’ve just realised. You claim to have nothing to put under V. Look at the entry for H again.

Have you ever read Rachel Vincent? She has two novels out - Stray and Rogue - and both are awesome if you are into Urban Fantasy

Also came via Weekly Geek, and I’m posting about you too.
That is a great list and I see many of my faves on it.

What about The Secret Lives of People in Love by Simon Van Booy? I know Nancy (Bookfool) has read it, but maybe you haven’t.
There are so many on your list that I have and WANT to read! Time. Got any?
