Leave a comment on this post when you've finished a book that fits this category. If you know of a book with a character whose shares a name with one of our other participants, let us know in the comments.

This category has received the most criticism! Some of you have really unique names. So we're going to loosen the requirement a bit. You can read a book whose author has the same name. Remember it can be your first or your last name or even your middle name.

If you have a REALLY unique name and still have had no luck, you can pick a novel with a character who has your favorite name---besides your own!

We think it is pretty silly to think girls only want to read books with female protagonists (hello---Harry Potter!) or that boys won't read books that don't have a male main characters (When You Reach Me is AWESOME!).

Tell us if you found the main character easy or hard to relate to, and whether or not his or her gender was a factor or not.
