Thanks Sandy!

I tried to do a similar one in 2013 too, but I only got as far as about 15! Last year it was a classics challenge and as I hadn't read many before it was a fantastic way to find out about a lot of books and push me to read more. I must say though, I missed being able to read a wider variety of books - I got through very little non-fiction last year. So this year I'm going for books of any genre, but limiting myself to A-Z of surnames (rather than first or last name last year).

Yes, I've got a little notebook with ideas in - I love browsing through it and changing things around :-) I'll put up a post later and hopefully get some comments on what not to bother reading!

Are you doing any challenges yourself this year? Are you tempted by another alphabet challenge? :-)

Possible book choices based on books I already own:

A: Khartoum: The Ultimate Imperial Adventure
B: Conquest/Consider Phlebas/Stonemouth
C: The Struggle for Mastery: Britain, 1066-1284/The Hunger Games
D: Dickens? Dumas?
E: Evanovich?
F: The Pillars of the Earth/Madame Bovary/Fall of Giants/
G: North and South
H: Brave New World/For Whom the Bell Tolls
I: The Remains of the Day
J: Tower: An Epic History of the Tower of London
K: The Poisonwood Bible?
L:
M: Wolf Hall/A Clash of Kings/
N:
O: Orwell? (Down and Out?)
P: Last Tango in Aberystwyth/My Name is Red
Q: Marquez?
R: In A Dry Season
S: Death or Victory: The Battle of Quebec and the Birth of Empire
T: The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
U: Updike?
V: Vichi?
W: Brideshead Revisited
X: Huxley?
Y
Z: The Book Thief
