BoxallA to Z Challenge, 2024 � Meet the Authors
Get ready to meet the Boxall authors! Read a book from the combined Boxall 1001 book lists with an author’s name that fits each letter of the alphabet. To complete the A to Z Challenge, you may use either the author’s first middle, or last name, the nationality of the author, or, in a pinch, a book by the author with a one word title (exactly one word).
Happy Reading!
Keep track of your progress on the topic A to Z Challenge, 2024 -- Plans
Double-dipping
In order to promote fun and creativity, double-dipping (using one book to fulfill more than one Task) is allowed. However, remember that one of the purposes of the Challenge is to get you to read more Boxall books, improve your total count, and explore the various resources on the Boxall Group site
