Mod
I’m reading my first challenge book of the year and it even starts with A. LOL"
Ha!! I was thinking of trying to read in order, but gave that idea up right away!
It’s just a coincidence it starts with A.Yay, on getting your first book out of the way!
Mod
Well, I'll be starting with
I wanted to get it finished for 2018, it was the last book in my regular challenge, but I didn't get it done. I've just been way too busy the last week!Hoping to finishe it tonight!
Mod
I like the idea of adding an author challenge, it can help with duplicate title letters. But I'll try the challenge again and possible do both, not sure yet, I'll see as I go.(view spoiler)
Mod
Mod
YAY! All we can do is try :)
Mod
Sweet! I hope I do better at it this year!
I started trying to do it in alphabetical order a couple of years ago... It didn't last long. Haha!
My second book of 2019 and it is a duplicate already. LOLOLOLOL
Good thing I signed up for another A-Z challenge in a different group. I’m putting the dups there.

I just looked at my list of books planned for January and there are three C’s. Seriously. What’s up with that? It’s too early for dups.
Mod
Maybe you can use them for the author challenge then ;)

Great job so far, Jenny. Funny about the duplicates though... It's starting early this year. ;)
I am doing better on the author challenge at 5 books but soon to start on duplicate authors names. LOLReading book 3 of the regular challenge now, the dups are going over in the other group that is doing an A-Z challenge. So it’s nit a total loss yet. LOL

I'm giving you guys the options of 2 different challenges this year! And those ambitious readers can do both if they want!
Challenge #1-- Titles
Read 26 books which titles begin with the letters of the alphabet.
Examples:
O - Opal
T - The Sun Dwellers or
S - The Sun Dwellers
For the letter "X or Z ", any book title with the letter X or Z in it is acceptable.
If the title contains the word THE or A it can be omitted if you want.
Challenge #2--Authors
For this challenge, you will be using the Author's name of the book for your alphabet! You can use either their first or last name. Their name must start with that letter.
Examples:
P Patrick Ness
N Patrick Ness
The exceptions are Q,X, and V. There just aren't that many writers' names that start with those letters, so those letters can be anywhere in an authors name (including initials, middle name, etc.)
If the author writes under a pseudonym, you can use either that or their real name.
You can sign up anytime, and you can backdate books if you know when you finished it, as long as it was done in the year 2019.
ANY BOOK IS ACCEPTABLE, including graphic novels, novellas, etc.
