This is a game that deals with the titles of books. We will start with a book title beginning with A - the next post would be a book beginning with the letter B - then the next post would be a book beginning with the letter C and so on - up through Z - then we will start over and do it again! I will begin with a book beginning with the letter A - The next post by the next person will be a book beginning with the letter B.

Place the name of the book in bold. Then add the citation for the book itself like I did in message 2.

Great Dimitri and Dave - Dimitri just remember to put the title in bold above your citation like Dave did in 4 and Bentley (I) did in 2.
