The Prompts:
1. E is for Ending: a book with a great one, and one whose ending sucked (avoid spoilers—or at least warn us if you can’t)
2. E is for Elderly: a favorite or memorable elderly character
3. E is for EU: your favorite contemporary writer (post-WWII to now) from the European Union, and/or one you’d like to try
4. E is for E: a writer you’d recommend whose first and/or last name begins with E
5. E is for Exploration: a new writer, theme, or genre you’d like to try
6. E is for Et Tu, Brute?: a book in which betrayal plays a central role
7. E is for Exception: a book that you loved or really liked in spite of it containing what you almost always consider a fatal flaw
8. E is for EEEE: a book title with lots of E’s
9. E is for Ever-present: a book you read a long time ago that has really stuck with you
10. E is for Eliminate: a group of books you got rid of, or want to, and why
11. E is for Everyone: tag extensively!
