This challenge is pretty self explanatory. Work your way through the alphabet and try to read a book for each letter. You can either choose titles, authors or some combination of both.

Post your TBR list here and update your progress as you go.

Oooh exciting! I loved making lists for these challenges when we did them a few years ago.

Will this be title, author or both? And X!! I hate X!! :)

In my other groups, that have challenges, for X and I think Q, the letter needs only to appear in the first word for Titles and in the authors name, as well. Still not easy, but it makes it somewhat more doable.

Appearing instead of starting with makes it a bit easier!

I'm curious to learn more ��

I’m in!

Place names starting with A-Z is fun too. To make it more challenging, I've seen a challenge also, as Real Name Places A to Z.

I've edited my comment above to now include directions. Any questions, please let me know.

Great thinking! That would be an excellent way to complete this challenge and get those books off your TBR.

Hey Dottie! X is probably going to be the hardest. It usually is, but if we can use authors too, maybe it won't be too hard :)

I liked the suggestion of finding a book or author with X IN the name, not starting with. I think I'm going to go with that.

Click on edit on the bottom right of your post, add the book, then click on edit post on the bottom right. You can only do this on a web browser, not on the app.

Hope this is correct. I thought I was to start a new one, so hopefully I understood this correctly.
