This will run all year.
26 Books in 2016, each beginning with a different letter of the alphabet. (Not counting articles like "a," "an" or "the") to create your own special Alphabet Soup.

For example:
A- And the Band Played On: Politics, People, and the AIDS Epidemic
B- The Betrothed
C- Carmilla
Etc.

You may use books that are from other mini-challenges, but not the Group Read titles. (Because then we'd all have the same soup.)
You may want to create a post with just the alphabet, then fill in books as you read them. Or create a "master list" of what you plan to read, then check them off as you finish each.

This thread is also the place to come for ideas on titles for letters that are trickier to find.

Nope. Her last one was X.

Sounds like a fun thing to try - although some of the letters seem like they'd be hard to get. Hopefully it will help with choosing which book to read next.

Even one is a bowlful of reading goodness!

A bowl of this will keep me busy for a while. :)
By the way, the original template is missing the letter S, and as a consequence, people are copying it without that letter. Just thought I'd let you know. :D
Another question: can I count books that I've read from January 2016 onward, or do they start counting from right now since now is when I started the challenge?

Hooray! More Soup! We have many pots going this year, which is awesome!

Trying to season mine with a little more non-fiction this year.

I love it! Totally in. Even though I'm just joining now, I'm backing this up to January 1 for me! Hopefully it's not too annoying that I'm doubling up some letters. I doubt I'll have enough time to make several "soups," so maybe instead mine will just have extra of some!
