Diane, thanks for the suggestions but I already too a look at the list. Most of the books seem to be a part of a series that I've never read or I'm simply not interested. I don't know why this month is so much harder when we have one less book than Capricorn.

Surprisingly I didn't have such a problem with the U's. I've had Unearthly and The Unsung Hero on my eReader for a while so it was a great push factor in me reading these books which I would have probably would have ignored. That Q is a killer though. I think I'm going to look at some of my GR friends' bookshelves and see what I come up with it.
Umm, how about anything by Julia Quinn or Amanda Quick? Or Two Little Lies by liz Carlyle has a character called Quin.
Thanks for the recs, Suzanne. I think I'm going to go with Julia Quinn because my digital library has her.
I hope you enjoy her books, I really like them, I especially rec ommend her Bridgerton series, they are some light funny HR.
What a coincidence because I requested The Duke And I. I should get it soon because I'm 1/1.
That's good, I hope you enjoy it : )
Julia Quinn is a great choice for the Q's. I've really enjoyed the books of hers that I've read. The Duke and I was one of the first historical romances I read and is still one of my favourites.
Me too Sans, it is very good, I tend to like all her books, although I am reading
which she has co written and I am not really getting into it.
I have that on my Kindle. I'm sorry it's not enjoyable for you! Is it an anthology, each story is written by a different author, or three people wrote a single story?
It is a bit of both, it kind of like one novel with three different couples, each couple written by a different author, but it all takes place in the same house party. I think JQ's was the first couple, which I kind of liked I am just having trouble getting involved in it.

In case anyone is looking for a Q book,
has a character called Quin.
I'm just about done with Aquarius. I have one more "U" book, Rabbit Redux by John Updike.

Congrats, Lacy! I've decided to read all romance books for the remainder of this challenge because they are shorter and easier for me to read.
