This is fun meme created by Fictionophile that I’ve seen on a few other blogs and have been keen to try myself. The objective is to spell out the name of your blog entirely from books waiting on your To Be Read shelves. (No cheating – you cannot ADD to your TBR to complete this challenge – the books must already be on your Goodreads TBR.)
I had to cheat a bit – I mean, who creates a blog name with an X in it? Click on the title to find the book description on Goodreads. My selection is made up of both physical and ebooks.
Check out some great versions of this meme below. If you try it yourself or come across others, feel free to leave a link in a comment.

I’m going to do this too soon, even with my blog name :-). I haven’t read any of your list but there are quite a few interesting titles, like The Boy At The Door!

You certainly had a lots of Rs to find! I wish I’d thought of ignoring the word ‘The’ in some of the titles!

So I did- but with a huge TBR, R’s were such a problem- U was the hardest for me.

It was the X in mine that got me…

I did a mini challenge-thing with a group on goodreads where we had to read a book with x or z- luckily I had a z on my TBR so picked that one- the only X I could think of was Sue Grafton but she isn’t on my TBR.
